Install a Disappearing Fountain Basin in Your Pond This Summer

If you’re looking for the perfect way to spice up your pond this summer, you may want to consider installing a disappearing fountain basin.

These unique water features have been popular among pond owners for years. They are fairly simple to construct, can be made out of a variety of materials and create eye-catching displays in your backyard pond. You can make disappearing fountain basins out of almost anything – from glazed ceramic pots and decorative vases to large rocks and pieces of granite – so feel free to be as creative as you’d like.

Little Giant disappearing fountain basins are popular among pond enthusiasts because of their rugged design, easy installation and maintenance and ability to hold a wide variety of fountain tops. We encourage you to decide for yourself, but once you’ve chosen your base, visit Pondliner.com to get the additional pond supplies you’ll need to get it up and running.

Before you choose the size, type and location of your fountain basin, here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. A large fountain basin requires less refilling, but it obviously needs more space as well
2. Tall fountain pieces need to be constructed within fountain basins that are large enough to contain their splash
3. Greater flow creates more of the soothing sounds of water

Another great thing about fountain basins is that you can construct and install them yourself. Pondliner provides extensive directions regarding the installation process that can be found here. Be sure to reference this guide extensively, because improperly installing a fountain basin can cause a variety of problems down the road.

Warm summer days and long summer nights are the perfect time to relax by your backyard pond. Disappearing fountain basins are a great way to enhance your pond this season. Start building yours today!
