How to make a beautiful well in the country ^Favorite

First you need to choose the style that is chosen depending on the design of the well and the availability of materials. Two types are widespread in Russian open spaces - shaduf and Russian.

An ordinary Russian well consists of a shaft through which water is lifted using a drum fixed on poles. A bucket with a chain is attached to the drum, a handle is attached to the side. Shaduf is not such a common design, but is still found. This type is used for shallow wells, where water is collected using the "crane". Of course, it is less practical, but nowadays it looks very original.

The most common style in well design is the “rustic” style, where stone and wood are traditionally used. So, for example, a house or a canopy looks beautiful over a well from a whole log with an imitation of a log house. The material for the roof is better to use the same as the cottage is covered. Around the well it’s good to make a platform and plant it with flowers. The design of the well should correspond to the style in which the cottage is built, for example, if the house is made of brick, then the well can be laid out with decorative brick. If the cottage style is a chalet, then the head can be decorated with round cobble stones.

It’s very fashionable today to design Japanese-style wells. Oriental style necessarily provides a canopy, and if you adhere to Japanese rules, then at the source there should be a figure of a mythical creature, the guardian of the well.
Materials for decoration must be used only natural - natural stone and wood. The roof is executed with the edges bent up and covered with soft tiles. A mandatory part of the oriental style are also decorative evergreens, such as thuja, pine, juniper. This design is usually used in remote wells located in the back of the garden or in the far part of the site, unless of course you have the entire cottage built in the Japanese style.

If the cottage and the fence are sheathed with siding and decking, then of course the style of the village well will not look very good. Then make a modern well, decorating it with decorative tiles, and make a canopy of polycarbonate. In this case, the forging elements will look good in the fastening of the canopy.
