A perfect garden decor centerpiece.
One piece will be the base and the 2nd piece is the arms and roof.
The first step of the project is to build the base for the wishing well.
To make a small peaked roof for your wishing well begin by cutting four pieces of lumber to serve as the frame for the roof using the same size lumber as formed the roof support.
We spaced these out with a small piece of scrap wood that just happened to be laying on the table.
Step 4 the roof.
The roof peak should be about four times that of the width for plant space.
Embellishments on the roof give this fountain added appeal including the scalloped trim and the ornamental finial at the top.
For example if you plan to sit a 10 inch planter inside the well build the body with a 10 1 inch diameter and a height that matches the pot.
