Choosing a Water Feature
Most chain and home improvement stores offer some version of this four-tiered decorative feature, featuring a Mosaic design and solar panel.
Instructions boast of easy assembly, but before purchasing any assembly-required product, make sure to read the instructions and online reviews written by those who have already purchased the product.
The cost of such features is often minimal compared to the pleasure they provide.
Wall-mounted water features have gained recently popularity and their location often attracts thirsty birds and butterflies that may stop by regularly for a drink.
