Fountains & Wheels 🎆

Fountains and wheels are the ground-level part of a display, and the part people most often forget to buy. Everything else in a display sends its effect upward; these keep it at eye level where children can actually watch it.

They are also the gentler end of the range. If you have young children, a nervous dog, or neighbours who would rather you did not, a display built around fountains and wheels gives you colour and movement without the bangs.

Fountains want flat, firm ground with the base weighted or bricked in, and nothing overhead — no washing line, no branches. Standing one on sloping grass is enough to send the spray towards the crowd.

Wheels need fixing to a solid wooden post with the pin supplied. A fence panel flexes and is not solid enough. Spin it by hand before lighting: it should turn freely without wobbling off.
