Bright and original design of a well at the dacha

In the suburban suburban areas, the central water supply system is very rare, therefore the most common source of life-giving moisture in such an area is the most common well. Making a well in the country with their own hands is an honorable thing for every summer resident, since its appearance can affect the attractiveness of the entire summer landscape.

In order for this element of the landscape to look as harmonious as possible, you can use various techniques and materials, the main thing to start with is to decide on the style. Design should be chosen based on the style of the house, located in the area next to the well.

Varieties of wells

In the suburban areas of Russians, most often you can find wells of two main structures: Shaduf and Russian.

Well Russian

This type of well is a structure representing a deep shaft. Water in this construction is lifted with the help of a drum to which a chain or rope is tied with a bucket at the end. On the side of the drum there is a special handle that allows you to wind the chain on the drum or spin it up.

Shaduf Well

Shaduf is not so often seen in suburban areas today, although previously there was such a well in almost every Russian yard. This design is used only in those places where groundwater is located close enough to the surface. These structures represent a shallow mine, the water from which is obtained by means of a structure called a crane.

Note! In addition to the presented designs, there is also an Abyssinian well, but in modern suburban areas it is almost impossible to meet with it.

We decorate our own well

No matter what method of decoration you choose, remember that it must meet the following requirements:

• Protect well water from melt and rain water, autumn leaves, various insects and animals;
• Do not seal the shaft tightly so that the water can breathe;
• To leave the well itself and the platform in front of it consecrated;
• To create ease of use at any time of the year;
• Must be durable and not require the cost of care activities;
• Have aesthetic appeal.

• Paint;
• Small pebbles of approximately the same size.

2. Apply the solution on the surface part of the mine so that the layer is uniform over the entire area of ​​the ring;
3. Using a spatula, level the applied layer;
4. We wait until the solution begins to set, and begin to decorate it;

Note! Making wells in the country with concrete is often to decorate it with natural stones, which are enough to press into the dried solution. You can also draw bricks or any other patterns on a slightly dried surface with your finger. Putting the neck of a regular bottle into the surface of the set solution, you can create a pattern of rings.

Well house

In order to be sure that in the mine, and therefore in the cleanest well water, nothing superfluous will fall, many owners make the design of wells in the country in the form of a house.

Similar structures are often constructed of wood, but polycarbonate, perforated metal sheets and even siding can also be used.

By design features such structures can be divided into two types:

• Arbor.

Pergolas are completely different shapes and sizes, the main thing in this design is the presence of walls, doors and roofs. This structure assumes that the well itself is located inside the gazebo;

• Tent.

The tent is even more simple design, which is an ordinary canopy, mounted on racks. This canopy is installed above the well by means of props, which are dug directly into the ground, or are fixed on the side.

The roof of such a shed can be single or gable, covered with slate or tile. The price of such a tent is directly dependent on the materials used in its creation and on the artistry of its performance.

Well in bloom

Just looks irresistibly design dacha well with flowers. Of course, the process of surrounding the well with dense flowers is quite laborious, but the result is worth it.

The roof of the well, its base and the whole area around it can act as a flower bed. Bright and colorful flowers with a heady aroma can be placed in hanging pots or placed directly on the sides.

To choose for the decoration should be those plants that will delight you with their flowering constantly, or pick the plants in such a way that the flowering of some replaced the flowering of others. Thus, you will create an ever-blooming atmosphere around your well.

Well, in order to create a more holistic landscape composition it is recommended to use sand, pebbles, crushed stone, etc. Using all these materials you can create an amazing multi-level composition that will delight you and attract the attention of neighbors.
