Garden fountains, like their indoor counterparts, can be wall-mounted, wall-supported, tabletop-sized, or free standing floor fountains. They are available in innumerable unique styles and varieties to suit your needs, and they can be found crafted from an equally impressive number of distinctive materials. Some of these materials include (but are not limited to) natural stone or slate, concrete, artificial resin, clay, or metals such as stainless steel or copper.

What sets garden fountains apart is that they are treated with UV-protection agents, and they are generally built to be more durable and reliable than indoor fountains (necessary characteristics for a decoration that is going to suck up sun, rain, and wind). Despite being generally larger and sturdier than indoor fountains, garden wall fountains are still very stylish and elegant features that will enhance any outdoor design.

It should be noted that while and outdoor fountain will surely bring a little life and fun to your backyard, they also tend to require a bit of intensive maintenance. Again, unlike indoor fountains, outdoor wall fountains are constantly exposed to the harsh elements. To counter this, it is recommended that you change the water in your fountain’s basin every few weeks. Additionally, when you are doing this, it is a good idea to wipe the fountain down with a mildly abrasive cloth and perhaps an anti-bacterial agent. Algae and bacteria can ruin great garden fountains if they are allowed to populate in stagnant or dirty water.
