Glass Waterfalls: DIY vs Professionally Made

You love the idea of having a glass waterfall in your entryway, living room, sitting room or even in your garden. A glass fountain provides the elegant look and peaceful, calming trickle that would greatly enhance the relaxing atmosphere of the space.

You may have already done some online research and shopping on glass fountains, and have found people have built their own, working glass fountain.

Whether you are leaning towards building your own or purchasing one from a company that specializes in water fountains, you want to make sure you get what you pay for and you want it to last

Before you blindly jump into your DIY glass fountain project, here is a comparison of your two choices:
