Pools
& Fountains
Pools
and fountains are not, strictly speaking, "items" in our catalog.
Instead, pools and fountains are fashioned from Concrete Machinery
molds utilizing techniques we (and our customers) have developed...but
a large part of the equation is the creativity you bring to
the project. Numerous molds we manufacture can be used
to make fountains and pools. Typically, fountains incorporate
bird bath bowls and pedestals. Very often, statuary
(animal, human, floral or other) becomes a part of the presentation.
While we can give you ideas, the final design is really dependant
on you and the molds you have or will purchase. (If
you would like to see a picture of a fountain made from a
bird bath pedestal, bowl and other components, click
here for a "pop-up" window.)
That being said,
here are some things you should know. The first is that
extra caution needs to be exercised with fountains.
We suggest that you instruct your customers to securely anchor
the bases of all units to avoid tip-overs. The same
is true for pieces making up the fountain unit. Permanently
attach all individual pieces into one solid, sturdy unit.
Flowing water is a variable that requires planning as well
as special safety considerations.
A second thing
you should know is that fountains and pools require plumbing
skills. Our print catalog/instructional guide, Turn
Concrete Into Gold, gives lots of helpful tips and specific
instructions for making fountains. Frankly, we believe
the book is essential for safe and successful fountain/pool
construction. You'll be able to see lots of successful
designs in the catalog, and you may wish to copy them for
your use. However, they may spur your imagination for
even more creative designs.
Finally, we'll
be happy to help you figure out just which molds will work
best to make the design you desire. We also offer a
full range of accessory items including pumps. Just
give us a call or send an e-mail.
