Two-Tier Fountain Project
A two-tier fountain is a beautiful DIY decoration that takes less than 15 minutes to put together. It's a classic water feature that suits nearly any space!
Items Needed
- smartpond® 80 GPH Premium Fountain Pump
- smartpond® Flexible ½ in Vinyl Tubing
- Medium Sized Planter
- Small Planter
- Decorative rocks
- Sealant (may be needed)
1. Gather
Gather your supplies and find a location to display your fountain. The fountain will get heavy once assembled. It's easier to put it together where you want to keep it, rather than moving it afterward.
Note: If the mid-sized container has a hole on the bottom, you will need to use foam sealant or epoxy to fill the hole. Wait for the sealant to dry (typically about a full day) before proceeding.
2. Assemble
Attach your tubing to your pump and set in the base of the medium-sized planter.
3. Fill
Fill the planter ¾ full with decorative rocks, covering the pump.
4. Trim
Trim excess tubing.
5. Feed
Feed tubing through the base of the smaller planter, so it is visible on the inside by about ½ in.
6. Adjust
Adjust the smaller planter on top of the medium-sized planter and fill in rocks around the base of the small planter as desired.
7. Water
Add water.
8. Enjoy!
Plug in and enjoy your new fountain!
