Fountains for summer cottages

The fountain can be an excellent addition to the garden garden. When the lawn is in perfect condition, all the plants are lovingly groomed, and you are reflecting on what's special about decorating your site, an ornamental fountain will be an ideal option for your dacha.

There are many options that are suitable for any site, but there are also those that require special care and will not always be appropriate. Basically, everything depends on the material, because it sets the general tone for the fountain in the country, but do not forget about the forms, and, of course, the style. Interesting options for fountains in the country are presented in the photo at the end of the article.

If you work with a landscape designer, he will certainly take into account all the pitfalls that may arise when installing a fountain. And yet, we advise you to pay attention to some questions that are better to ask in advance.

1. What is necessary to maintain the fountain in the country in good condition? Every fountain requires investments from time to time, not only labor, but also money. Determine how fancy the model you like is to you. It would be insulting if this charming detail of the design in your garden has become the most voracious "child" in the family.
2. How much noise does your fountain produce? One of the possible functions that a fountain can perform for a country house is to suppress unnecessary noise from the street. However, if you live in a quiet area, loud water sounds can get on your nerves.
3. How much does he weigh? Even some small-looking fountains can be quite heavy due to the material. This greatly complicates their movement and can become a problem if you want to move and take the fountain with you.
4. How does the fountain for the dacha endure the winter? This is one of the most burning issues for our climate, because severe cold can significantly damage the pipes that supply water to the fountain. Find out how you can protect the fountain at the cottage during the winter and whether it is possible in principle, because the design of some fountains, sadly, provides for their installation only in countries with warm climate.
5. Is the fountain autonomous? Autonomous fountains do not require professional skills in installation, but the reasons for their breakdowns are usually more difficult to understand. For the others, it is necessary to separately purchase a pump and call a plumber who will install it, but you can also contact him if something goes wrong.
