The first stage of the construction of the fountain is the preparation of the base. Work at this stage directly depends on the size of the future fountain. If the fountain is relatively small, a foundation pit is quite suitable for its base, covered with gravel. If it is planned to build a large fountain, then the construction of a more reliable base or foundation will be required. The construction of the foundation includes a large amount of work, for the preparation of trenches, for the drainage system, pipeline and electrical equipment. The next stage after preparing the base is the installation of a bowl. During the construction of the fountain, you should also pay attention to the forestry railing, if they are outdated, they should be replaced.
Due to the fact that the bowl will be the basis for attaching a variety of equipment, it should be covered with a waterproofing composition, and also represent a strong structure. After installing all the equipment, the bowl is poured with concrete, and can also be reinforced, depending on its size. You should know that the elements of the hydraulic system laid in concrete should be made of stainless steel. In the case of using pipes from black or galvanized metal, these pipes will be rusted. At the end of concreting, the bowl is covered with waterproofing mixtures. The last stage of construction is the lining of the bowl and other works, to decorate the fountain.
