How Do You Make A Whiskey Barrel Fountain?
Outdoor fountains can provide a calm relaxing feel to your patio or porch. With just a few supplies you can turn your patio into a nice outdoor retreat. Begin by deciding upon the placement of your fountain. Placing the whiskey barrel near an existing wood pole on a patio is ideal as you will see later in the article. A shady spot under a covered patio is a good spot. Place a couple of chairs nearby so that you can have a relaxation spot. Set the whiskey barrel in the desired location. Place the whiskey barrel liner into the whiskey barrel. Purchase a small pond or fountain pump that will handle 50-80 GPH or gallons per hour. These can be found at Lowe’s in the $20 – $25 dollar range. Place the pump into the barrel liner and connect the tubing. A pump this size will usually call for 3/8″ rubber tubing. Assemble your copper pipe and elbow pipe fittings so that it looks like the picture. The pipe should be plenty long. I cut ours at 32″ for the long part and another 5 – 6″ to fit between
