Build a Garden Fountain: Where To Start

Garden fountain kits are readily available in the majority of garden centers and home-based improvement stores. If you cannot find what you are looking for, then the next best place to look for your fountain is on the internet. There is a very wide range of garden fountain designs for you to choose from, and one design that is proving very popular is the bamboo fountain. These kits are based on the bamboo fountains found in Japanese gardens, and the sounds of the water trickling from the bamboo canes is very hypnotic and musical.

If you do not find the idea of a kit very appealing then there are many books available on the subject of 'how to build a garden fountain'. These books will still provide step by step instructions on building your fountain, but you will have to source the materials for yourself. Depending on how or what type of fountain you want will depend on the materials needed. Rocks and pebbles can be collected locally from the beach for example, and you will only really need to purchase hoses and pumps. If you want a fountain that incorporates a statue, you may already have such a statue already in the garden. Remember too that you do not need a lot of yard space or a pond to have a fountain. Some fountains can be situated on a wall or even in a container in a patio or decking area.
