Hanging Jar Waterfall Fountain

Jar waterfall fountains provide the serene sound of water dripping to the delight of homeowners relaxing outdoors. You can find this waterfall pouring water into a basin at a gardening supply store or online. Because wind and other environmental factors can cause the fountain to spill, it is important to find a location either on your porch or deck that is away from any electrical equipment. You can showcase your jar waterfall fountain amongst ornamental plants or a zen rock garden. Hang your jar waterfall fountain to contribute to the peaceful ambiance of your landscaping.

Instructions

    • 1

      Measure the jar waterfall fountain and cord that goes into the outlet. Find a space on your exterior wall space that is large enough to accommodate its size. Pick a place that is far enough away from sitting and dining areas to prevent getting splashed on when the wind carries the water drops.

      Run an electric wall stud sensory over your wall to find your wall studs. By hanging the jar waterfall fountain from wall studs, you prevent the brackets ripping through the wall. You can also rap on the wall and listen for a solid sound. Wall studs are generally 16 inches to 24 inches apart, so if you find one measure 16 or 24 inches from the located wall stud.

      Mark on the wall with a pencil the location of the wall studs. Hold the jar waterfall fountain up to the location. Have someone place a level on the waterfall in order to ensure that it is even.

    • 4

      Use a drill to drill into the wall studs. Hang the back of the jar waterfall from screws or wall brackets drilled into the wall studs.

      Fill the waterfall up to its fill line. Plug in the fountain into the outlet.
