Silver Sculpture With Bubblers Fountain

A fun find at a clearance price, this dramatic metal piece lends itself as a sculptural focal point in a water feature. At night, lights play on the silvery surface of the art, while its acrylic base is moisture-proof. Sealant on metal parts (including screws, nuts, etc.) exposed to water should help prolong the life of such a piece as an outdoor feature.

Toothbrush Cups Fountains

มุมมอง 6514 วันที่ผ่านมา

Inexpensive plastic toothbrush cups are turned upside-down and drilled for fountain action. The textured sides produce an animated waterfall effect. Sturdy, reusable plastic straws serve as risers. (Note: Plastics that are not intended for prolonged exposure to sunlight, extreme heat/cold, etc. will likely fade and/or deteriorate over time. However, they should be relatively safe in temporary, ...

Rectangular Sculpture Fountain

มุมมอง 1621 วันที่ผ่านมา

A sculpture found on a clearance sale becomes the focal point of this water feature. If you discover an inexpensive piece that speaks to you as a fountain element, consider weather-proofing it with a clear sealant to prevent rust and other damage. Metals, ceramics, cement, stone, and glass are workable choices, while wood, fabric, papier mâché, and the like should be avoided. Also remember that...

Various nozzles picked from several different solar kits are mixed and matched for multiple spray combinations. All are attached to manifolds*, with each manifold fed by a single pump. No pumps or lights shown here are solar, but all combinations would be capable of working off of a single solar pump with the correct GPH capacity, if desired. *th-cam.com/video/Awiz4jnMnuw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com...

Green Bowls Fountain Trio

มุมมอง 21หลายเดือนก่อน

Groups of three are always fun to work with! Here, a trio of lightweight picnicware bowls sit atop matching cups, all drilled for plumbing*. Water is discharged from the bowls to the reservoir via spouts made from vinyl tubing. The first version presented uses jets made from CPVC pipe and caps . The second is a calmer version, with jets made from travel-sized shampoo bottle caps with large hole...

Party Tray Fountain

มุมมอง 24หลายเดือนก่อน

An old, discarded ceramic serving tray is repurposed as a unique water feature. The tray has a hole in the center where a now-lost handle used to be. Tubing is fed through the hole, and a brass plumbing fitting provides a finished look once telescoped onto the tubing for a snug fit. Ceramics not made for garden use will likely fade if exposed to the sun for too long, and they must not be allowe...

Mini Pedestals & Bowls with Lights

มุมมอง 45หลายเดือนก่อน

Inspired by the original (1972-2018) “Royal Fountains” at Kings Island amusement park (Mason, Ohio), this project includes a lighting scheme that enhances the slow-sequencing fountain program. Like the fountain design, the lighting is a pared-down interpretation of the Kings Island original. Jets are CPVC caps drilled for various spray patterns, pedestals are plastic cups, and bowls are clear f...

Orange Vases Fountains

Inexpensive vases are drilled for tubing and shown in a variety of arrangements. The vases are plastic but have the look of terra-cotta. (Note: Plastics that are not intended for prolonged exposure to sunlight, extreme heat/cold, etc. will likely fade and/or deteriorate over time. However, they should be relatively safe in temporary, indoor, and/or well-sheltered applications.)

One of the most unusual 1990s tabletop fountain products was the one shared here Relaxor’s illuminated Glacier Sphere. The jagged and over-sized crystal-like ball (nearly too large for the reservoir) was impressive on its own, but it also came with enough chunky and colorful “gems” to more than fill the basin.
