Making a large clay pot fountain?
I want to make a large clay pot fountain to use as a "wishing well" at my wedding reception. My idea is to use a baby pool as the base, covered with plastic liner and stones lining the bottom. Then, a wooden cover to disguise the pool would be built around and set on top. I want to stack clay pots to a height of 4-5 feet, and have the water cascade over the pots.
Can anyone tell me what materials I need and if I'd need a strong pump to get the water that high? I've already looked for plans for a fountain this large, but all I've found are projects for tabletop fountains or garden ponds. Thanks!
Really all you are making IS a large table top fountain or a small garden pond. Take the plans/recommendations for the 2 and combine them - it should be just fine. If you have a choice between the pumps - go larger, better too much than too little - and most pumps have a regulator in which you could slow the flow.
