How To Install A Wall Fountain

By: Rivera, W. Home | Home-and-Family | Crafts-Hobbies











Installing a wall fountain is quite easy and it only takes two people the most to do it. Although not compulsory, it is recommended that you also install a GFI electrical outlet in the wall behind the fountain before formally installing the fountain itself. It won’t be that hard to do by yourself but you can also hire an electrician from your local area to do this for you. Having a professional to do this can help you avoid the ugly sight of hanging cords. The outlet should be directly behind the center of the fountain and not the hood or basin. While for double and triple panel fountains, the outlet should be placed behind the left-most stone as you face the wall.
It is also advised that the outlet should be connected to a wall switch so that it would be easy to turn on and off without having to unplug it.
One more alternative if you don’t want an outlet installed is just simply covering or hiding the cord behind a plant or lamp.
Fountains can be installed to any kind of wall counting metal stud and cinder block walls. Fountains which are bulkier should be attached atop studs, metal, or wood. Mounting them on sheet rock or plaster is not a good idea because those materials are not durable enough to support the fountain. Your purchased fountain will include an instruction guide that will help you install your fountain through a step-by-step process.
Smaller fountains are not complicated to install. You can hang them wherever you want them like a picture frame.
Tools Required
Fountains can be installed with ease with the right set of tools. The required tools vary from each individual fountain. Along with your procured fountain is a set of instructions along with the information of what tools to use for the installation. The needed tools may include, but are not essentially limited to, are the following:



  • Phillips Head Screwdriver and standard screwdriver


  • Hammer


  • Level


  • Tape Measure


  • Stud Finder


  • Pencil


  • Masking Tape


  • Cordless Drill
