Creating such an original element of landscape design as a decorative well for a garden with your own hands is quite simple. However, before you think about its construction, you should decide for what purposes it is needed. This building in the country is built, as a rule, to perform several tasks.

When creating a site design with their own hands, many summer residents choose country-style wells. They are a covered reinforced concrete or wooden shaft with a drum that is manually rotated to raise a container of water. The roof of the structure in this case can be located both on the outer part of the mine, and on special supports - in this case it is a kind of tent over the building.
Before you start building a decorative well for the garden with your own hands, you should also decide on the material from which it will be built. Most often for the construction of such elementsstone or wood is used. These two types of environmental materials are the easiest to process. However, it should be noted that if you use stone to build or decorate the lower part of the building, then its upper part - the drum, pillars and roof - must be made of wood. At the same time, the wood should be treated in advance with special moisture-resistant compounds - so the structure will last you much longer.
