How to mount a wall fountain?

EllenI357

I’ve had this fountain put up but not happy with it. My griend putting it up said this is how the Bunnings man said it had to be done. Would a professional be able to put it up better. If not,

  

I guess I could put plants around it. Not sure what though. 2nd pic is the plants I have. Maybe split Fiscus on the right replacing the umbrella plant? Any ideas.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @EllenI357. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about mounting a fountain.

A better method would have been to install heavy-duty angle brackets upside down to conceal the brackets. This hides the leg of the brackets up behind the fountain instead of being visible below it. I see they've used stayed brackets with the diagonal brace. This type of bracket is typically stronger, so it might have been advised if the fountain is of a significant weight.

I think using plants to obscure the bracket is also a good solution and should look nice.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
