Creating such an original element of landscape design as a decorative well for a garden with your own hands is quite simple. However, before you think about building it, you should decide on what purpose it is needed for. This building in the country is built, as a rule, to perform several tasks. Firstly, a well can serve for its intended purpose, that is, act as a source of water. Secondly, it can be a decorative element.
Creating a site design with their own hands, many summer residents choose country-style wells. They are a covered reinforced concrete or wooden shaft with a drum, which is manually rotated to raise the tank with water. The roof of the structure in this case can be located both on the outer part of the mine and on special supports - in this case it is a kind of tent over the building.
Before you begin to build a decorative well for the garden with your own hands, you should decide on the material from which it will be built. Most often, stone or wood is used to build such elements. These two types of environmental materials are easiest to process. However, it should be noted that if you use a stone to erect or decorate the lower part of the building, then its upper part - the drum, poles and roof - must be made of wood. In this case, the wood should be treated in advance with special moisture-resistant compounds - so the construction will last you much longer.
How to build a simple decorative well for a garden with your own hands?
To create this building, there are two options: you can make the lower part of the tree, then you have to buy ready-made logs or build a pseudo-shaft of concrete - this option is considered preferred for inexperienced summer residents. To do this, you need to purchase a special reinforced concrete ring, install it in a selected place and arrange it with artificial stone, paving slabs or other decorative material. Creating such a decorative well for the garden with your own hands, you can use any improvised means for decoration: small pebbles, broken glass, etc. Concrete joints between the finishing elements can be painted in any color with the help of acrylic moisture-resistant paint.
The support posts on which the roof and the drum will be mounted should be installed next to or on the base. As poles, you can use any logs or metal rods that should be wrapped with a rope or thick twine along the entire length. It is easy to make a drum from a round rounded log by installing a handle for rotation in it. Subsequently, it is necessary to wind a rope on it and hang a bucket - real or decorative. The roof of the well can also be very different: round, square, polygonal, etc. For its manufacture use boards, tiles, plastic and much more - the choice depends on your preference.
So, using these simple ideas for the garden, you can create a beautiful well with your own hands (the photo shows how elegantly such decorative elements look), which will surely become the decoration of your site for many years.
