Hanging Wall Fountains
If space is of the premium then a hanging design will probably be best for you if you are considering a garden fountain.  Due to their design they will easily fit into a small space that needs to be decorated and will add a personal stamp to the area.  These style of fountains have become very popular in gardens over recent years and can provide a dramatic depth to a small space.
