I'm wondering the same thing. If you get any ideas or replies or anything...please message me. My email is jkakers@flashmail.com. Or anyone who can just email me with the details, I'd appreciate it.
RATS ! ! I saw the thread title and got all excited, thinking that I'd find some great tips for putting together a (not too expensive, please) water feature . . Just saw today's rerun of the Spanish patio with yet another one that didn't work on reveal. They talked about how many had failed . . I'm hearing impaired, but I'm sure I'd wear my hearing aid more if I had one . . and my plants would Love it.
Ok, I found a site that tells you how to make a regular fountain...bout the best I could find. I'm tryin to get some ideas though to use these instructions for a wall fountain.
And here are my thoughts... So far it's the best I could come up with on my own. Maybe it'll give someone the right idea to do it.
You build a box for the bottom and for the top...it would have to be waterproofed....with plexi glass or something of that sort. A pump would be placed in the bottom box and hidden by some smooth stones.
The two boxes would also be attached to each other by either a long, hollow box (to put the water sorce in) or just a peice of plexi glass, copper, slate, or whatever you wanted to use for the design of your fountain. I was thinking that possibly you could attach stones or some faux slate tile to some plexi glass, or maybe just use some copper attached between the boxes. The water souces would then be piped up through the hollow box or behind the plexi glass. The water would then flow over the "art work".
You would probably have to put holes in the rubber water source and lay it across the top to flow down and the other end of the hose would have to be plugged.....OR let the water run down the other side back into the bottom box for more water.
The one on the show was so much simpler though. Seemed like all there was was a plastic box at the bottom and then a copper piping frame. Then there was a peice of copper for the water to run over. And the water came from the copper piping at the top. That's what it seemed like....but maybe I'm not remembering right.
Anyway, let me know how my ideas of how to do the wall fountain sound.
