By making an indoor fountain with your own hands at home, you can not only save a fairly large amount of money, but also purchase useful decoration interior According to the Chinese teachings of Feng Shui, the symbol of Water, placed in the northwestern part of the home, ensures prosperity in the family. An excellent embodiment of the moving element in the house can be a babbling brook, a cascade of waterfalls or another form of fountain.

Small decorative cascades for interior decoration should be made taking into account the fact that there is nowhere to drain the constantly rising water at home. This means that the amount of liquid in the system must be constant. To comply with this requirement, the fountain installed in the room must be made to operate in a closed cycle. In this case, water will collect in storage capacity. The pump installed in the system must lift it to the top point of the structure, from where the liquid will flow out, again falling into the tank.

In order for a thin stream to beautifully flow, drip or shoot up, decorative obstacles should be made of shells, stones, shards or other objects in its path. IN Ancient China and Japan, specially trained craftsmen built a channel for a stream so that it would babble beautifully. Tuners of the “music of water” created real masterpieces from ordinary pebbles, laying them so as to form cascades with depressions into which drops and streams fell, producing the noise characteristic of a stream or waterfall.

What to prepare for work?

To create a mini fountain, you need to choose a suitable pump. Its power depends on the height to which the liquid needs to be raised. This value is dictated by the dimensions of the structure and is determined individually. If you want to make a fountain with your own hands so that the stream of water shoots upward, it is better to buy a pump with more power and a regulator. To assemble a small tabletop cascade, an aquarium pump for filtering water is sufficient.

Before you make a fountain with your own hands, you need to prepare:

• a reservoir into which water will flow;
• silicone tubes;
• waterproof glue;
• materials for decorating the product.

The reservoir bowl should be spacious. In addition to its direct function - collecting liquid circulating in the system - it will also serve as the basis for a composition made of stone or other materials. Some of them can be placed directly in the container.

What to do if there is no pump?

A low-power pump that can raise water to a height of about 20 cm can be made independently. For this you need:

• a motor from a children's toy, camera or other, protected from water;
• batteries (phone or finger batteries);
• charging connector if using a mobile phone battery;
• LEDs - optional;
• switch of any type;
• electrical wires;
• plastic gear;
• a small round container (aerosol cap, plastic bottle);
• waterproof glue.

Make an impeller for supplying water from a gear from an unnecessary mechanism: adjust the wheel to the diameter of a round container, glue 4 pieces of plastic crosswise onto the shaft: fig. 1 (1). Drill a hole in the bottom of the container for the motor shaft, and in the side for water. Place the motor shaft inside the container, glue the motor housing to the bottom of the pump reservoir from the outside, and secure the impeller to the shaft inside (2). Cut a piece of plastic, make a small hole in it, and seal the open part of the pump body. Attach a tube to the hole in the side and seal the connection (3). Connect the wires to the motor and carefully insulate the connection, protecting it from water. Any sealant will do for this.

To connect the motor to the power source, use diagram (4). It is important to remember that batteries should not be exposed to moisture. You can attach them to outside pool, glue the switch here too.

You can include a resistor in the circuit to adjust the speed of rotation of the motor or LEDs for decorative lighting.

Assembly method

A homemade or purchased pump must be attached to the bottom of the tank (storage container). Its depth should be such that the pump is completely immersed in water. You can hide the pump in different ways: place a mesh cover on top of it, on which pebbles or shells will be placed to represent the bottom of a reservoir, or hide it inside a large decorative element. One of the design options - a dry fountain - provides for a completely hidden water surface in the storage tank. To do this, you need to lay a grate on top of it and secure the stones. The water will pass through the stones into the container without forming a visible pool. Rice. 2.

How to make a mini fountain in an apartment with your own hands from ceramic pots(Fig. 3), a short master class will tell you:

1. 1 Prepare 2 ceramic pots and 5 trays (2 large and 3 small). Cover them with waterproof varnish, drill a hole for the tube in the center of 1 larger and 1 smaller tray. Make cuts on the edges of the pallets to drain water.
2. 2 Install the pump at the bottom of the tank, following the diagram in the figure. Cover it with a large pot, and lead the tube through its drainage hole and drilled holes in the trays to the very top of the structure.
3. 3 Place a smaller pot next to it and secure the tray to it. The next tier consists of 2 small pallets (one is upside down and serves as a base for the bowl from the other). The pallets must be placed so that the holes cut into their sides allow water to flow from one to another, forming a cascade.
4. 4 Decorate a fountain, assembled with your own hands from the most simple materials, beautiful pebbles, plants and shells, figurines of aquatic animals or birds.

Such a miniature pond can be placed on the table or given a special corner among indoor plants. Iridescent water will not only enliven and decorate the composition, but will also slightly humidify the air.

Waterfalls in the room

Stylish and fashion decoration interior - vertical waterfall (Fig. 4). Making this type of indoor fountain with your own hands is not much more difficult than a mini tabletop fountain. The only difference is the pump power for such a large structure. When looking for a pump, you need to pay attention to the fact that the height of the water column is at least 1.8-2 m. This will make it possible to build a water wall or stream originating from the ceiling of the room.

Before making a home waterfall, you need to waterproof the floor in case the tank leaks. Polyethylene film can be used for this. It is advisable to cover with it a section of the floor 15-20 cm larger than the perimeter of the future structure.

For the panel on which water will flow, you will need:

• thick glass or mirror;
• 5x5 cm bars for support posts;
• boards for the base of the top cover;
• a plastic pipe with a diameter of 2 cm for distributing water over the glass;
• a block or thick board for the clamp step.

The structure of the fountain supply system is the same as discussed above.

On top of the fountain tray, you need to install and secure a board with a stop to fix the glass in a vertical position. Knock down the frame from the support bars and crossbars on top. The role of the crossbar can be played by the horizontal bar of the top cover.

Drill a piece of plastic water pipe, the length of which is equal to the width of the glass panel, in one line along the axis. The holes should not be located too far from each other so as to avoid the impression of separate streams. Plug one end of the sprinkler tube and secure it to the top cover strip. Install backlighting if necessary.

Place the glass panel vertically, resting the lower edge against the step of the latch. Attach the side parts to the support bars using liquid nails. To prevent water from spreading beyond the panel, sides made of strips of glass, wood, and plastic must be glued to its edges.

Install the pump into the pan and run the water supply tube up to the open end of the distribution pipe. Connect and seal the connection. Hang the front part of the top cover. Decorate your home fountain with your own hands according to your own taste. Through many holes in the sprinkler pipe, streams of water will fall on the glass and flow down it into the pan, creating the illusion of a falling stream.

Materials for decorative finishing indoor fountains, made with your own hands in a tabletop or floor-standing options, can be found in pet stores (colored soil, castles, shells, ships in the aquarium department). Flower shops sell bamboo supports for plants and beautiful containers. In the souvenir departments you can find artificial bonsai, figurines of birds and animals.

There is nothing more pleasant than relaxing after a hard day under the quiet splash of water in a man-made stream. The decorative functions of the fountain are perfectly combined with its main purpose - to humidify the air in the room. You can add live indoor plants to the streams of flowing water.

For any owner appearance summer cottage or yard has great value. Its design can be done by specialists, but, if desired, you can do it yourself. A fountain will be a successful decoration for a yard or area. It can also be built according to your own design.

Types of fountains

There are fountains for dachas different types. They are divided into types: by design, by appearance, by operating features, etc. According to the method of construction, country fountains are divided into circulation and flow, they are also called “Roman”.

Did you know? The first fountains appeared in Ancient Greece and in Ancient Rome.

Circulating suggest the water cycle. Water fills a certain reservoir (bowl, vase, reservoir) and is supplied with the help of a pump to a device from which a stream of water directly shoots out.

Everything is arranged in such a way that the outgoing water enters the reservoir and is pumped upward again. Thus, the device does not require water supply from a water supply system or a well. The only thing that is necessary is to add water to a certain mark, since it tends to evaporate or splash.

Flow fountains are arranged using water supply (well) and sewerage. Water flows upward, falls down and goes into the sewer. The method is, of course, irrational, but Such fountains have a number of advantages:

• aesthetic appearance;
• drinking water;
• possibility of using water for watering lawns, flower beds, shrubs and trees.

Based on appearance and features, fountains can also be classified into single-level and multi-level, single and group, jet, waterfall, cascade, in the form of a ring or tulip, dancing, singing, colored, with a pond, with a reservoir, etc.

Did you know? Tallest fountain in the world- 312 m. It's called a fountain« Fahda» , is located in Saudi Arabia.

Choosing a suitable location

If you decide to build a fountain on the site with your own hands, then, first of all, choose a suitable place for this. If there is a pond or a pond in the country, the choice of location is obvious. Where the pond is located, there will be a fountain. The structure of the pond, of course, will have to be modified and adjusted, but the foundation will remain.

If you are starting from scratch, then you need to choose a place, carefully weighing all the pros and cons. DIY garden fountains perform different functions: they humidify the air in the garden, which is good for trees, create cool conditions, can be used for irrigation, etc.

For this reason, you need to choose a place so that the fountain not only brings aesthetic pleasure, but is also useful. A suitable place for arrangement would be open area between trees, bushes or hedges.

Trees and bushes should not overhang a pond or reservoir to prevent debris from falling into the water and leaves falling. This is harmful to water filters. Also, due to the proximity of trees, and therefore their root system, the underground part of the fountain may be disrupted or even destroyed. If your dacha has plants that cannot tolerate waterlogging, arrange the fountain away from them.

Important! Do not place the fountain near buildings.

There is no need to set up the structure in the open sun, as this can lead to water blooms. There is one more condition: a fountain in the country, made with your own hands, must be in harmony with overall design. Everything should be done in the same style. This should be an area that is clearly visible from the windows of the house and from any part of the yard, because you are building a fountain, first of all, for aesthetic pleasure.

Preparation of materials for construction

When a place for a fountain and its type have been chosen, a project has been developed, you need to determine what materials will be needed for construction. Let’s assume that the project is designed for a circulating jet static fountain with a single release of water, i.e., the “Geyser” type.

At home, to build a fountain with your own hands you will need cement, sand, crushed stone, durable polyethylene film and a construction façade mesh sized according to the diameter of the structure (both the film and the mesh must be the same size). In addition, you need a plastic container with a volume of about 50-70 liters, depending on the size of the structure.

If you plan to decorate everything with stones, then prepare them right away. It could be wild stone the right size, cobblestones, granite, large pebbles, etc. To ensure proper operation, you will need a fountain pump.

Pump selection criteria

Depending on the type of fountain you need to choose a pump. For a “waterfall” we would choose a surface pump, and since we have a traditional fountain, we choose a submersible one.

As a rule, submersible pumps perform their function perfectly. They are compact, quiet, easy to install and, importantly, affordable. Submersible pumps come in different capacities. It is calculated in the amount of water pumped per 1 hour (l/h).

The height of the jet will depend on the power of the pump. The maximum height is calculated based on the diameter of the “foot” you made. Pump in in this case There is no need to choose according to the principle “the more powerful, the better.” For the arrangement, we need one so that the jet is high enough and so that the spray does not fly beyond the “foot.” For a summer residence, the jet height is suitable from 80 cm to 1 m.

Important! It is necessary to ensure that water does not splash outside the fountain. Excessive humidity can lead to the death of plants and damage to things.

Manufacturers, as a rule, provide in the instructions a table of the relationship between power and jet height. Since we are equipping the Geyser, such a device will require a pump with a capacity of about 7000 l/h.

Installation principle of the pumping system

The pumping system is installed 10 cm above the bottom on a stand (laid brick or mounting pedestal). A hose or pipe with water supply is connected to it. Usually the sprinkler comes complete with a pump, but if you don’t have one, you can make it yourself.

To do this, you can take a regular stainless steel pipe. The diameter will depend on the height of the jet and the diameter of the water spray. For a small fountain of 0.8-1.0 m, a diameter of 2-2.5 inches will be sufficient. The length will depend on how deep the pump is immersed. It is enough to leave 10-15 cm above the water.

To give the stream a shape, you can flatten the pipe, roll it, leaving a hole, drill several holes, or cut a thread and screw on the desired nozzle. Connect to the pump directly or via an adapter (if necessary).

Installation of a fountain. Step by step instructions

Master class on installing a fountain in a country house with your own hands step by step photos easy to find on the Internet. Typically, installation takes place in several stages.

How nice it is to sit near the water in the summer heat, feel the cool splashes and simply enjoy the view of cheerfully murmuring streams. A fountain installed in the yard will be a wonderful decoration summer cottage, and if it is made with your own hands, it becomes the real pride of the family and the envy of the neighbors.

Unfortunately, there is a myth that building a fountain is a labor-intensive and expensive process. In this article we will try to look step by step at how to make a fountain with your own hands.

Types of fountains

Depending on location pumping equipment There are two types of fountains, submersible and stationary.

Submersible type - resembles a geyser that is pushed out from the depths of the water. In this case, the pumping system is installed at the bottom of the bowl, complemented by a pipeline and special sprinklers that control the shape of the flow.

Stationary type - has the shape of a statue or object. Such fountains can often be found in parks and squares.

Stages of preparation for the construction of a fountain

Planning

At this stage, you need to decide on the type of fountain, its size, types of water supply and methods of drainage. Calculate the dimensions of the future building; it is important to remember that the fountain must fit ergonomically into the entire arrangement of the yard and into the design of the garden plantings.

Detailed instructions on how to make a fountain with your own hands will help you avoid problems with construction, and therefore guarantee pleasant and long-term operation.

Choosing an installation location

An important rule: do not plan to install the fountain in open, bright sun. This can lead to constant blooming of the water in the bowl, which means an unpleasant appearance and smell of mud.

The fountain should not interfere with free movement around the site. It is also not recommended to install a bowl near trees; firstly, this threatens to damage the roots of the tree, and they, in turn, can compromise the integrity of the water container. Secondly, fallen leaves will contribute to the contamination of the fountain.

Construction materials

In order to make the construction of your fountain less labor-intensive, you can refer to the construction instructions decorative pond, it will only be necessary to retrofit it with a pump.

To build a fountain with your own hands we will need:

• pump depending on bowl size
• super strong film
• shovel
• stones of various sizes
• elements for decoration

Having decided on the type of pump for water supply, it is necessary to move on to the decorative component of construction. There are many ideas on how to make a fountain with your own hands. They can be large and deep, for example, if you take as a bowl old bath, but a basin or clay pot as a base will allow you to create a decorative mini fountain with your own hands.

So, what can you use to make a fountain with your own hands? The correct answer, of almost everything. The main and most obvious rule is that the materials used should not be destroyed by water and should not affect its quality.

Of course, the main and most expected materials will be stones of various sizes. Such a fountain will repeat pictures of untouched nature, where water flows over stones, shimmering in the sun

Ideas for decorating a garden fountain using improvised materials

DIY fountain made from empty glass bottles. Try to choose wine bottles that match the shape and color, remove the labels from them and place them in a chaotic manner in the center of the fountain. This way the water will flow beautifully over the glass, creating fancy reflections.

For skilled craftsmen, an option may be suitable in which a stream of water will pour directly from the neck of the bottle. To do this, you need to carefully cut the bottom of the bottle and insert a hose with water there.

One more in an interesting way decorating the fountain will be to decorate it in the style of a tea party. You will need a ceramic teapot, strong wire, a tea pair and pebbles to hide some of the design details.

The teapot is suspended in the air using a wire, and water is poured from it directly into the mug. What’s not a wonderful landscape for long evening gatherings?

Artificially aged ceramic pots look interesting in combination with trickles of water. Try to create a composition in the style of Provence, surround a fountain from a ceramic pot with blooming lavender or other noble herbs and see how the spirit of a French village will be added to your garden.

Photos of DIY fountains

Even the smallest body of water can decorate your own summer cottage and give it some zest. And a fountain made with your own hands will not only become a favorite place to relax and provide aesthetic pleasure, but will also become a reason for compliments from invited guests.

But not everyone decides to build this mysterious hydraulic device with their own hands. Some summer residents mistakenly believe that building a fountain is a labor-intensive and expensive process and cannot be done without the help of specialists. But every lover of spending time in nature can give themselves such pleasure; the main thing is to know all the nuances of constructing a fountain with your own hands.

SELECTION OF FOUNTAIN TYPE

There are two types of fountains based on the type of design.

1. The open version involves supplying water to the nozzle. The formation of a jet in this version of the device occurs due to changes in water level. In this case, the water pressure is weak, so it is necessary to constantly monitor the water level. In addition, the water in such a fountain becomes polluted quite quickly. To create it, you need to install a small reservoir at a height of about one meter above the nozzle.
2. A fountain with a pump is the most practical and effective option. By placing the pump at the bottom, continuous circulation of water is ensured. Here the pressure is stronger and the visual effect is more beautiful.

By design, pumps that act as fountains are divided into submersible and surface (stationary).

OPTIMAL PLACE TO PLACE A FOUNTAIN

Picking up convenient place For the construction of a fountain, it is recommended to take into account the degree of slope of the ground. If the area is uneven, it is better to place such decoration in a low area. This option for the location of the reservoir will not only allow you to adjust the volumes groundwater, but will increase the oxygen saturation of the air.

• too close to the house so that moisture does not fall on the walls in windy weather;
• on open areas in order to prevent water from blooming due to ingress of sun rays to a body of water;
• near trees so that leaves, seeds, fluff falling from them do not clog it, and roots do not damage the waterproofing.

The fountain must be positioned in such a way that it is not an obstacle to other buildings and is visible from all points. It is recommended to place the structure near the resting place.

The minimum distance that must be maintained between the fountain and plants, buildings, and furniture is 50 cm. This way, the plants will not die from excess moisture, and the furniture will not become unusable. Ideal option for the location of the fountain - partial shade and a place protected from the wind, located close to a source of water and electricity. This arrangement will save you from unnecessary wires and additional work by isolating them.

Having decided on the location, it’s time to think about the shape and depth of the future fountain.

PREPARATION OF MATERIALS FOR CONSTRUCTION

To build a fountain in order to save money and effort, you can use the technology of constructing a decorative pond and equipping it with a pump.

Materials required to build a fountain:

• fountain container;
• pumping station;
• durable film;
• bayonet shovel;
• natural stones of various sizes;
• sand, gravel;
• decorative elements.

SELECTION AND INSTALLATION OF CONTAINER

If you plan to build a miniature fountain, you can use an ordinary plastic basin or any other small container as a reservoir.

For large bodies of water, old bathtubs or a self-dug pit are suitable. If a bathtub is used, it is necessary to dig a hole of such a size that its edges are not higher than the surface of the ground. All holes in the bathtub are securely sealed, after which it is lowered into the pit and strengthened with earth, stones and sand.

For a homemade tank, make a hole of the required depth and cover it with a thick, high-quality film, which is secured along the edges on the surface with stones. Stones are also poured at the bottom various forms and sizes. It is important that the stones do not have sharp edges and cannot cut the film. The stones are evenly distributed throughout the bottom of the future fountain.

SELECTION OF A PUMP FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A FOUNTAIN

In order to construct a fountain on the site yourself, it is not necessary to purchase expensive materials, you can adapt any old elements. However, you should not spare money - the pump, the better quality it is, the more beautiful the fountain will be and the longer it will decorate the area without causing problems.

Submersible pump – best option for the construction of a fountain on a summer cottage. It works on the principle of a centrifuge. You can also install a surface pump; it is mounted at the edge of the reservoir, but is most often used on large fountains and cascading reservoirs.

When choosing a pump, you should take into account the pressure that is constantly present in the pipe and the differences in this pressure. Therefore, the purchase itself powerful pump may be unjustified, since not in all cases it will be able to work out its full power.

Regardless of which type of pump is chosen, it is important to remember that its power must be related to the diameter of the pipe. The fountain jet should come out under powerful pressure, and not slowly flow out of the pipe, since there will be no effect from such a design.

FOUNTAIN DECORATION

You can emphasize the uniqueness of a hand-made fountain by decorating it. It is recommended to lay out beautiful, colorful stones of different sizes around the pond, put flowers in pots, place cute figurines of animals, birds, etc.

To make the fountain amaze with its beauty and unusualness at night, you can backlight it using special equipment. Lamps installed around the perimeter of the fountain and lighting at its bottom will create a fabulous, magical atmosphere.

The bottom of the reservoir can be landscaped with the help of special plants, and bushes can be planted around the fountain.

Any country pond and fountain, including one, needs careful care. To maintain order and clarity of water and a pleasant spring appearance of the structure, it is necessary to regularly clean the tank. By using special devices It is necessary to remove leaves, seeds, fluff and other objects from the surface of the water that can not only spoil the appearance of the reservoir, but also cause the fountain to malfunction.

Upon completion summer season it is necessary to drain all the water, transfer the removable parts of the structure to enclosed space, and cover the remaining parts and the bowl with film to prevent dirt from getting into them.

Building a fountain with your own hands in a country house or even in an apartment is not difficult and does not require large financial resources. Before building a decorative fountain, you need to decide on the shape, size and installation location. There are many options for the location of such structures - near the gazebo, on the lawn, in the garden. After constructing the fountain, you need to carefully monitor the cleanliness of the water, regularly remove debris and add water, as it will evaporate.

Such designs are widely used in design suburban areas. Fountains can decorate any ownerless area or become the highlight of a summer cottage. And by adding imagination and decorative elements, you can make it even more beautiful and unusual.

Landscape design

Water is the basis of the foundations, which is why in many world cultures it is glorified as the source of life for all life on our planet. Moreover, in addition to its main function - to quench thirst, water can serve as an aesthetic element, relieving fatigue and calming a person.

And according to the philosophy of Feng Shui, even a small fountain installed in the northwestern part of the room can provide abundance and prosperity in the house.

A DIY indoor fountain is a worthy alternative to a factory product, because in addition to its low cost, the presented element is absolutely unique and can be made based on the wishes and imagination of the performer. Whereas the methodology for performing the work is not particularly complicated and can be implemented by anyone without much effort.

What should you consider before making a decorative fountain for your home?

Of course, the first step is to think over the design of the future masterpiece: its shape, size, number of tiers. But in any case, the basic principle of any fountain should be taken into account, according to which water must constantly circulate in a closed cycle.

Next, based on the developed idea, you should stock up on all the necessary supplies of materials that may be useful in your work. In most cases for homemade designs A sufficient set would be a set consisting of the following items:

• Sealed container (plastic basin, flower pot, vase, flowerpot, bucket);
• Water pump (you can use the aquarium version);
• Elements decorative design(colored stones, pellets, all kinds of shells, decorations for aquariums, LED strips).

In addition, care should be taken to ensure there is an electrical outlet to connect pumping equipment, as well as to ensure decorative hiding of the power cord.

Indoor fountain: DIY technique

Considering the basic operation of any pump, it is very important to ensure that it is installed in such a way as to minimize the risk of operating the equipment without liquid, which is why in most cases when self-production For fountains, these accessories are located at the lowest point of the structure.

That is, at the first stage, the pump is fixed to the bottom of a sealed structure, for which special suction cups (included in the aquarium pump kit) or adhesives based on sanitary sealants (for example, liquid nails) can be used.

Then using silicone tube it is possible to lift the liquid to the upper level. To do this, the tube is simply put on the outlet of the pump and installed in a vertical position.

At the next stage, it is recommended to visually hide the pumping equipment from the external environment, for which the pump is covered with a layer of pebbles or covered with a decorative frame made of any material. In this case, the outlet tube must remain in its original position.

Further methods of work depend entirely on the capabilities and imagination of the performer. But in general view boils down to ensuring the presence of a decorative reservoir at the height of the floor fountain. This can be achieved by laying large stones (with a diameter of 50 - 70 mm) in the form of a slide, on which any container will subsequently be mounted (using epoxy glue).

A beautiful shell, an antique mug, a metal plate or any other item you like can be used as the top reservoir. Moreover, before the process of its final installation, a hole equal to the diameter of the silicone tube is drilled in the bottom of the element and the latter is inserted into the internal cavity of the tank by 5 - 10 mm (excess material is simply removed). Reliable fixation and sealing of the entire structure is achieved through the use of waterproof adhesives.

The final stage of the work is decorating the floor fountain. Why can its surfaces be covered with various elements of decorative equipment and equipped in accordance with
