A container water fountain is a delightful addition to any patio, deck or backyard. This DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Water Fountain is easy to make, and it brings the gentle sound of running water to your yard. The self-contained fountain can be assembled from elements that can be purchased from any home center or hardware store.

I live in Virginia and my water fountain is in the sun and my water hyacinths have beautiful purple blooms every summer!

@charmed0415 2 жыл бұрын

I made this today. If you turn the pump off the water from the top planter will drain into the bottom causing all the water to overflow. Leaving the top planter empty. You need to do a sealant or something in the top bucket to keep it from draining when the pump is off.

Great looking fountain!! I had to laugh at Baxter "helping" you!! My pup loves to "help" also... I made a bird fountain and as soon as I plugged it in, he started drinking from it... HEY!! That's a bird fountain, not a dog fountain!!!! Ended up, they all enjoyed it!! 😂 PS.... Water hyacinths will bloom a beautiful purple flower in the right conditions but please be VERY careful... they can be extremely invasive in the South!!

@thnkr0917 2 жыл бұрын

Those river rocks are available at Home Depot. Not sure where she got the pots though. I'm about to go look for something like that also at HD. I have an inground fountain that is a pain to clean. Don't do it unless you want to climb down into a hole to clean gunk about every 4 months. I'm going to fill the ground hole with rocks and put something like this above ground..easier to clean. Also, this two layer design she is doing will be much more attractive to the birds than a hole in the ground with no place for them too perch.

We only dismantle the fountain at the end of summer to winterize it. But you can definitely change out the water periodically if it gets yucky.
