Garden Fountains

A garden fountain adds the sound of moving water to a patio or border without the construction work of a built-in pond. The category covers freestanding ornamental fountains, solar-powered fountains for borders, and small tabletop water features for patios. Aosom UK, Cherry Lane Garden Centres and Cox and Cox between them stock 200+ garden fountains covering £8-£224. Power: mains-powered fountains (the household standard, runs continuously, needs an outdoor weatherproof socket); solar-powered fountains (no wiring, run in direct sun for 4-8 hours); battery and rechargeable fountains for very small features. Material: cast stone or composite resin (heaviest, long-life, statement pieces); glass-fibre and concrete-effect (lighter, mid-life); bronze and copper (premium, weathers to patina). Pump replacement is the maintenance reality, most fountain pumps last 2-3 years before needing replacement at £20-£50. Most fountains include 1-2 lights for evening use.
