Bamboo fountains are excellent options for those who wish to bring a sophisticated fountain into their home and are also environmentally conscious. Bamboo is a sustainable product that grows rapidly and is harvested in an environmentally friendly way. So if you are eco-conscious and would like to add a water element to your home, a bamboo fountain, particularly a bamboo spout floor fountain, may be right for you.
Bamboo spout fountains feature an upright piece of bamboo through which water runs and comes out of a spout on the top or side of the bamboo. The water "spouts" out to a pool of water below. All you need to create such a fountain is a pump, a bamboo spout, and a pool of water. You may wish to add a few river stones. This can be a great do-it-yourself project, but it may be easier and cheaper to get a premade water fountain, especially if you are going to use it indoors in a limited amount of space.
Bamboo spouts are great for gardens that borrow from Japanese tradition. They are also great in homes that follow the practices of feng shui, or simply want to add a bit of beauty to the décor.
Bamboo deer chasers, given their name because they were once used to frighten away deer, are also beautiful in the home or garden. When piece of bamboo fills with water, it rotates forward, dumping the water out, then falls back to its original position, making a sound that once scared away deer and other animals. Even if you don't have a deer problem, you can have these remarkable feats of engineering in your home or garden today. They will not frighten away birds but will actually attract them if you have enough water. And they are fish-friendly for those with ponds.
Bamboo fountains are easy to setup. Simply follow the easy instructions that come with the fountain. You will probably find that the setup process is very intuitive.
Bamboo fountains add beauty and splendor to any home, office, or garden, while keeping an eco-friendly edge. The bamboo should last for years. If it is solid, it will not crack. Inquire as to whether the bamboo comes with a natural finish that will keep it looking in its original condition and prevent it from aging, if that is what you desire. Enjoy your Japanese-inspired bamboo fountain. It will look wonderful in your home, office, or garden.
