Where to Find Materials for Making a Fountain
Introduction
If you're feeling creative and want to build your own fountain, you may be wondering where to start when it comes to sourcing materials. Here are some tips on where to find the essentials for your water fountain project.
Reservoirs
Choosing the right reservoir for your fountain is crucial. For indoor fountains, make sure the container is watertight to prevent leaks. Consider the following options:
- Antique Tubs: Check farms and flea markets for metal or stone tubs.
- Ceramic or Glass Bowls: Available at garden centers, home supply stores, and import shops offering exotic designs.
- Concrete or Metal Planters: Also found at garden centers and home stores.
- Resin Bowls: Look for polyester resin options at craft stores and florist shops.
- Wooden Troughs: Either buy one from a farm or garden center, or build your own using wooden planks and a plastic liner suitable for ponds.
Fountain System Supplies
To assemble a functional fountain system, you'll need several key supplies:
- Pump: The heart of your fountain, essential for circulating water. Choose one that matches the size of your fountain.
- Filters and Attachments: Available at pond supply companies.
- Tubing: Use copper tubing (rigid or soft) with tools like soldering supplies, or opt for vinyl tubing. Find these at garden centers and home supply stores.
Preventing Leaks
Ensure your fountain remains leak-free by having these materials on hand:
- Epoxy and Silicone Caulk: Both are excellent for sealing and waterproofing. Epoxy putty is particularly user-friendly for patching leaks.
- Grout: Necessary for filling gaps in ceramic tile or mosaic pieces.
- Polyester Resin: Acts as a waterproofing sealer.
These materials can be sourced from home and building supply stores, as well as marine supply companies.
