Did it ever cross your mind that anyone can make a bamboo fountain on his own? Bamboo fountains are environmental friendly, aside from that they can be installed either indoors or outdoors. A fountain adds charm, and a refreshing and relaxing atmosphere to your garden and home.
Let's try this out! You have to consider first the type and style of the fountain you want before buying the materials. More likely you have some of them if not all in your storage room lazily lying around for quite some time. Well you better start collecting the following materials listed here and do it yourself before going for that purchase.
• Bamboo
• Wood screws
• Pump
• Container
• A base
• Drill machine
• Rod
• Screw driver
• Hose pipe
If you prefer an outdoor fountain, consider a good quality of bamboo that will stand the test of extreme weather conditions. Polishing the bamboo will also make it prettier and increase its lifespan.
There are two parts to creating your own bamboo fountain in less than 30 minutes. The first part (steps 1 - 3) is about creating the parts, and the second part (steps 4 - 7) is about assembling these parts. Both these parts fit in 7 easy steps as described below.
1. Cut the bamboo sticks to the required length. (We will need 3 big bamboo sticks, one will hold the nozzle and the other two will hold the moving part of the bamboo fountain. The moving part of the fountain collects the water and empties it as the weight of the collected water increases.
2. Drill a hole in the center of the two big bamboo sticks and in the center of the moving part too.
3. Assemble these 3 big bamboo sticks in such a way to make a pivot type of arrangement.
4. Pass the pipe through the bamboo (this pipe ends at the top where there is a nozzle made of bamboo.
5. Mount all these on the base using the screws in such a way that the water coming out of the nozzle falls inside of the moving part of the fountain.
6. Place the arrangement inside the container with the pump positioned below the base. You can be creative enough to hide the base by using decorative stones or rocks.
7. Fill the container with water and plug your pump to your power source and there you have it!
Your fountain is now alive! Make note that your bamboo fountain is easy to maintain. Regular maintenance will make your place attractive for a long period of time.
Not everyone is a DIY fan, so instead of making your own bamboo fountain, if you just decide to buy a fountain, here are some of the tips you should consider before making that decision
1. What kind of fountain do you want? - (table top, floor standing, or wall fountain).
2. Your space - you should be aware of the space (indoor or outdoor or whatever your preference maybe).
3. Consider your budget - it is always wise to know your capacity to pay before making a purchase. The craftsmanship, value and complexity determine the price of the commodity.
Incorporate these three pointers in your decision making and you would be on your way of finding a perfect fountain for your decoration and relaxation needs.
