Submersing Wood Water Fountains
Submersing wood water fountains is one way to take a rustic water feature and have it compliment the landscape, rather than become a central piece among the landscape. In order to create these subtle wood water fountains, you can start with a half barrel.
What you’ll need:
Half barrel
Pool liner
Wood preservative
Aquatic planter
Aquatic potting mix
Pantyhose
Bricks
What you’ll need to do:
Provide a waterproof seal for the half barrel with the pool liner.
Paint the outside of the barrel with a wood preservative to prolong its lifespan.
Dig a hole allowing the barrel to protrude 4” above ground level.
Put a water lily into an aquatic planter with the potting mix and use it as a centerpiece.
Create small bags out of pantyhose to house marginal plants such as Iris. Raise them to the desired water depth using bricks.
Add Calypso outside of the barrel for a dash of color.
