How to Pick an Outdoor Fountain
Reasons for Having an Outdoor Fountain
Outdoor fountains serve several purposes. They add beauty to any outdoor space. They invite a variety of birds and other animals to visit your yard. Most importantly, they mask unwanted noises, such as traffic, and replace them with pleasant sounds. They are pleasing to look at, and produce feelings of inner peace and relaxation for those sitting near them. |
Where to Purchase an Outdoor Fountain
If you have visited your local hardware store lately, then you have probably seen the assortment of fountains they now carry. They usually have several of them running in their garden area. They generally cost over a hundred dollars and up to a few hundred dollars. If you search online, you will find a few very good outdoor fountain shops. Overstock.com offers a wide assortment of outdoor fountains. They are priced from about $120 to over $400. There are several that could be placed on a deck, adding ambiance. Then there are larger ones that look like they should be the centerpiece of a garden or yard. Amazon.com also offers a large assortment of outdoor fountains. Their choices are very similar to that of Overstock's. The biggest difference will be the shipping cost. While shipping at Amazon varies, and can be affordable with a Prime membership, Overstock's shipping cost is always the same, $2.95, no matter what the item weighs. Even though the local hardware store is convenient, and online shopping is easy to do, my favorite place to look for outdoor fountains is in North Carolina, at the gardening factory outlet. There are literally hundreds of outdoor fountains, all beautifully crafted. |
