Determining the Size of Your Wall Fountain
Summit Falls Wall Fountain
After having an idea of which type of the fountain you wish to buy, it is best that you determine the size. It is a pity that after having a choice in mind, it will not fit the space on the wall that you have selected.

The first thing you should do is determine the location where the slate or mirror wall fountain will be placed. Measure the available space by taking into account the height and length of the ceiling and wall, respectively. Vertical fountains fit well in a room with high ceilings while horizontal wall fountains will usually go well with long walls and possibly have below average ceiling height.

There are ways which you can take advantage to ensure that the fountain fits into the available space. If you have chosen a wall fountain, you just simply get the fountain’s dimension using a measuring device and plot it on the wall putting a mark on the four corners. Then assess whether it matches well considering the ceiling’s height and wall’s length.

If you want to have a more vivid layout of the indoor fountain, after putting thumbtacks on the four corners, you may tie a string forming an outline. However, if thumbtacks are not available, you may use strips of tape to form an outline. Using either of this two, you can now better picture out the size of the fountain if hanged on the wall.

In cases that the wall is not yet constructed, it is recommended to make a template of the actual size of your chosen fountain using cardboard. The cardboard, preferably with a different color, are cut based on the dimensions of your fountain. Then hang it on the wall with removable tape. Instructions or reminders for yourself or for the person who will install the fountain can be written in the pieces of attached cardboards. This will avoid errors in the installation process especially when the fountain is big enough.

Using the methods above, you will now have an idea if your preferred wall fountain fits well in the available location on your wall. Likewise, you can plan ahead on what other home décor items you can add to fill the vacant spaces beside your wall mounted water fountain.
