I built this large wall fountain, because the ones you can purchase locally were too short for my tall patio (and expensive). It is 9 feet tall, has a re-circulating pump, slate tile, underwater and spillway halogen lamps. It has lava rock in the tub, and a couple of teakwood tiki's that my father bought me in Hawaii as a gift, which I later implemented into this project. I ripped apart an old tiki torch and welded some ornamentation to it. It burns isopropyl alcohol so there is no smoke in the patio. It works wonderfully, with no wicks to maintain! The challenge: The steel is 1 inch square tubing, with 1/2 inch band iron welded as webbing to support the plywood that the tile is adhered too. I had to fabricate a tube frame, and use sheet metal as the tub. I later welded and electrical j-box on the rear for wiring and fuse, switches, etc. It may not show much metal, but there is plenty of detailed welding joints. When full with water, it weighs about 700 Lbs. It was a blast to build, and all of our family and friends, thought that I purchased it commercially. At that point, I new I did a good job. Materials and tools: Miller 175 MIG Chopping saw Square Tubing - 1” Sheet Metal - 18 gauge 1/4” Mesh Screen Slate Lots of silicone seal. Primer and paint Bamboo 1/2” Took about 8 hours to weld and paint the frame, The remaining time was tile work and wiring.
