Add a Bronze Tiered Fountain to a Courtyard or Patio

Bronze Tiered Fountains

There are many styles and designs that come with bronze tiered fountains. These fountains are elegant solutions for the courtyard, often demonstrating classical-style water features with several levels or “tiers”. Water often cascades from the top level to the bottom level resulting in attractive and soothing sounds of water being heard. Tiered fountains stand out when you want a centerpiece that feels artistic and timeless.

The following highlights a breakdown of what bronze tiered fountains are.

Design & Structure:

  • Bronze tiered fountains are preferably made from bronze as this ensures that the fountain does not rust and will function smoothly throughout its lifetime. While this does not mean care is not needed in taking care of your bronze fountains, it is generally safe to assume that bronze fountains are durable and reliable fountains to consider for your home. Bronze fountains left unpolished, do not degrade but will develop a rich, warm patina over time that can be attractive if you are willing to forgo the bright polished look that bronze originally comes with.
  • Bronze tiered fountains have typically 2-4 fountain bowls arranged vertically. Water will flow from the topmost tier and cascades down from each bowl to the next in a successive manner. This often creates a dynamic, mesmerizing movement that's pleasing to watch. Typically, most people prefer a bronze tiered fountain as a single basin can look flat, but tiers will draw the eye upward and create a sense of movement, even with a minimalist design.
  • Bronze tiered fountains can have many unique styles and designs. They are often ornate with European and old world decorations showing on their fountain bowls bearing lion heads, cherubs or floral and leaf motifs. Some bronze tier fountains can also be modern with a slant towards the minimalist approach with emphasis on clean, geometric designs. The tiered structure adds verticality and form, making the fountain feel grander and more sculptural.

Functionality

  • Bronze tier fountains are usually found in the courtyards, patios or even indoors in grand entryways. Some may even place them as a focal point for circular driveways, giving people a chance to welcome the beauty of water trickling down the basins.
  • Bronze tier fountains use a pump system to continuously cycle water, creating a soothing, trickling flow of water. Most tiered fountains use a submersible electric pump, and many of these have a built-in flow control dial or lever that can be adjusted to increase or decrease how fast the water is pushed up. You can do slower for a gentle trickle, faster for a bold splash.
  • You can use lighting to enhance the look of your bronze tiered fountain. Some homeowners include built-in lights for an ambient nighttime effect.
  • Generally, bronze tier fountains add aesthetic beauty and luxury to a given space, enveloping the surroundings with its timeless bronze material that simply adds a stately appearance.

Conclusion:

Bronze tiered fountains are a beautiful consideration that draws interest with its vertical approach. You gain satisfaction just seeing the water cascade even when the design of the fountain is clean and understated. Tiered fountains work beautifully in both courtyards and patios, but the choice really depends on the vibe you're going for and the space available. When your bronze tiered fountain is allocated for your courtyard, you can afford to go bold and go big to make it a centerpiece. However, keep it scaled and functional with a simple tiered fountain for the patios that will add charm without overwhelming the space.
