Pure spring water, surprisingly clear and cold - such a small human joy awaits anyone who has looked into the well. However, in order for each visit to the country house to please, rather than overshadowed by a muddy and dirty liquid from the bowels of the earth, it is imperative to install a house for the well. Do not think that it carries only protective functions: a simple at first glance design, chosen correctly and with taste, will be a wonderful decoration of your site.
Well houses - what are they?
Today, the house for the well is offered in a fairly wide range, choose - I do not want. If your summer cottage is made in a minimalist style, no frills, it is best to opt for the simplest houses. But if your site is a small separate state, then look for the appropriate house for the well. You will certainly find photos of them on sites involved in construction, design, landscape or decoration work. The materials used to create the houses can be very diverse, which allows you to choose exactly the ones that will best complement the ensemble of your site.
So, the most common type of house, of course, is wooden. Firstly, it is environmentally friendly, secondly, it fits perfectly into the overall picture of any site, and thirdly, it looks stylish and relevant. Also, if you decide to install a wooden house for a well, you can always support it with other elements: benches, a table and even a tub for flowers made in the same style. Stone houses will also look no less stylish: from such a design it blows durability and reliability, but compared
with a miniature wooden house, such a structure can look very massive.
Do it yourself
Reluctance to install a purchased house can be dictated by various reasons: maybe you do not want to spend extra money, or maybe you dream of creating your own miniature masterpiece? Anyway, but if you decide to make a house for the well with your own hands, you will need boards (choose the tree yourself) for the end walls, a lining to sheathe the structure, a wooden shaft, eyelets for the door, as well as screws or nails. If the well is freshly dug, then you should worry about a bucket and chain of the appropriate length. And of course, do not forget to set the gate, otherwise how will you get sweet water? This is the easiest way to create a house, which you can optionally
decorate with additional accessories. Before use, it is a good idea to treat wood with special impregnations, which will increase the durability of wooden elements, protecting them from moisture and pests.
Site design
A house can be a structure of varying complexity. The simplest option is to add a roof of the correct size above the well to prevent rain and snow from entering the water. A more complicated method is to make a canopy over the well with walls and doors: this way you protect your small reservoir from various debris. However, the most stylish option is to create a house from the ground: in this way you close the plain walls of the well; the right choice of material will help to perfectly fit the well into the landscape design of your site and even decorate it.
