I want to build my own interior water fountain, are there any limits or size restraints? No, indoor wall fountains or wall water fountains can be made to take up the full size & height of any wall. The large outdoor wall fountains or indoor that we build are usually 8’ wide by 6 to 8’ tall and come with a cabinet underneath for accessories such as fiber optic illuminators, pump and the transformer for low voltage lighting. The easiest water walls to build are the ones built on sight, simply use a stud finder to locate all studs then decide your layout for side rails to be attached, preferable by screws. Once that is decided, we snap two vertical lines in the center of the layout for the purpose of cutting & removing the sheetrock for the insertion of a 1” copper or pvc pipe that will have a 90% elbow & stub in the bowl area and the same at top to create the T for water flow. We use many methods for reinforcement prior to applying our proprietory cement formulations. There are many methods for unique textures by hand sculpting, but our best comes by using our Patent Pending Deep Textured Rollers. These replicate anything from small to large tree bark, cobble stone, wall stone, slate, weathered flagstone & many other textures for indoor water fountains or even theme park type settings with fake trees, and fake rocks.
