Design options
Construction firms offer to purchase ready-made designs for decorative wells, but such products are quite expensive, and they do not differ in originality. A landscape designer will be able to advise on how to choose the right decorative wells and arrange them in accordance with the appearance of the garden, but you can also cope on your own, and not only with the choice, but also with the creation of the structure.

Ready-made designs of decorative wells
There are several structures of wells, in the likeness of which decorative structures are also built. It can be a teremok with a gable roof, a crane well without a canopy, or a column protruding above the ground (Abyssinian well). A well, similar to a house, usually acts as a decorative object.

Design ideas for a decorative well
The construction of decorative structures does not imply their use as a source of water. They represent an element of landscape design. Its main purpose is to create an impression. Competent design of the building, the area around it, approaches, will create a magnificent garden that can delight others.
For decoration, you can use any raw material. The most economical option is to use leftovers after construction, for example, logs, bricks. Any available materials are also suitable, for example: birch logs, uncleaned from bark, laid out in a circle, stones of different sizes; you can cast a head from concrete, paint it; put brickwork.
Flowers, ampelous plants look good as a decor. Instead of a bucket, you can install an old watering can, a barrel, or do without it altogether, placing the original composition in the form of birds in the nest. The standard gate changes well to a wheel, steering wheel, steering wheel from an old car.
Recommended Materials
First of all, one should proceed from the dimensions of the structure. If the well is supposed to be built of a small size, the remnants of materials that have survived after the construction of the house (boards, roofing) will be enough. All materials must match in color and texture with the materials of the house.
Wood
Wooden structures create coziness and warmth. Carved and artificially aged wells for decoration look especially beautiful:
- Wood is a natural material, so the structure will perfectly fit into the interior of the garden.
- It is easy to make a structure with straight edges from wood.
- For work without the help of professionals, it is better to take a tree. The material is easy to process, install and maintain.
- The service life of a wooden structure is long.
- All wooden parts must be treated with an antiseptic and water-repellent agent.
Stone
A solid and durable construction is obtained from a stone. It will take longer to make a well from stone than from wood. Such a structure should be surrounded by vegetation so that the element blends harmoniously into the interior. Such a well looks especially beautiful in combination with a path paved with stones.
Brick
It will be possible to lay out a rounded or square base from bricks. The surface is left unchanged or plastered. The construction is strong and durable.
Modern solutions
Lining
Clapboard is called thin planed boards, which are used for surface cladding. Panels are placed vertically or horizontally.
Siding
For cladding structures, siding is often chosen. The material is characterized by its durability and gives the well a neat and aesthetic appearance for many years.
Corrugated board
Profiled steel sheets are considered a popular finishing material. The corrugated board can be used as a roofing material, or the walls of the well are sheathed with it.
Materials at hand
The most popular option for making a well yourself is from old tires or tires. Craftsmen manage to make a structure from buckets, and a roof from straw.
Well design and functions
- Before starting the construction of a structure, it is necessary to draw up a project. You can do it yourself, download it from the Internet. It consists of several stages: General provisions. Includes engineering and geological data, technical indicators, goals pursued. At this stage, it is decided what function the structure will perform:
- If it acts only as a decor, then it remains to choose a suitable place for installation, to decide on the materials for construction, cladding.
- For the creep, which will be used for drainage, hydrogeological studies of the soil are carried out. If it is water-absorbing, filter models are installed, where moisture is poorly absorbed - accumulative.
- Wells serving as a source of water (water supply option) also require preliminary studies related to determining the depth of the aquifer. 2. The graphic part. It consists of drawings of the main units, the appearance of the building, a roof plan, if any, recommendations for finishing, the technologies used, the location of lighting fixtures, electrical outlets (socket, light bulb). 3. Specification. It includes materials and equipment used for construction.
Do-it-yourself decorative well in the country: choice of material
If you think that the construction of such a thing as a well is a complicated matter, and you cannot do without the participation of specialists, then I hasten to assure you of the opposite. It is simple to build a decorative well on your own, if not to say that it is elementary - all that is needed for this is to decide on the material and to study a little the technology of manufacturing the building itself.
Let's start with the materials, since it is on them that the complexity of the construction of the well and its service life fully depend. So, to make a decorative well in the country with your own hands, you will need the following materials.
- Cement with sand. This material will be needed to prepare a solution, which will be used to make a base for a well (foundation) and, possibly, will be used for laying block materials if you decide to make a well from brick or natural stone.
- Stone, brick, natural stone, round timber or just logs. The purpose of these materials is simple, one might even say, trivial - these materials can be used to make the main part of a decorative well.In addition to them, as an alternative, you can consider all the same concrete or, if you do not want to mess with the monolithic production of the well body, then a ready-made well ring made of the same concrete. In any case, choosing this approach to business, it should be understood that decorative wells will have to be lined with a decorative coating. In most cases, a small natural stone is chosen for this purpose. For example, striped limestone or sandstone, pebbles and even crushed stone can also be used. Everything, as they say, is in your hands.
- Board or profile pipe. From this material, as a rule, a canopy over a well and a cover are made. Also, wood with metal will be needed in order to make a knob or, in our case, an imitation.
-
Roofing material. In principle, you can choose any, but the easiest to work with is flexible shingles. In this regard, there are no restrictions on the types of roofing material.
You should also think about the so-called decorations - after all, at least visually, a decorative well should resemble a real source of water! You need to take care of a beautiful bucket, equip it with a real chain. You should also create a beautiful area around the well. In general, all these little things that make the decorative well look like a real one.
And do not forget about an airtight container, by installing it inside the well, you can fill it with real water - in general, make a complete imitation of a real source of precious liquid. You can see about such beautiful decorative wells in this small video.
How to build a house for a well
The construction of the house begins after taking measurements of the well. They will be the dimensions of the frame. Its base frames are made of 8 × 10 cm beams.
To make the structure stronger and stronger, you need to drive in nails 10 cm in size. From the upper part of the base, 2 racks are brought out to a height equal to the height of the future house.
After that, rafters are made of beams, cutting their edges at an angle of 45 degrees, and making grooves in them to connect to the higher frame. Installing crossbars and jibs will give the roof strength.
If your structure has a base in addition to the roof, then it must be covered with boards, the same can be done with triangular roof sides.
Bucket lifting collar. It is made from logs by removing the bark and polishing it. The length is needed 3-4 cm less than the distance of the racks, otherwise, while scrolling, it will cling to them.
In the middle of the log cabins, grooves are drilled, in the racks or walls of the base too. After that, metal rods are fixed in these grooves, beforehand, in order to save the structure from premature wear due to friction of the elements in the grooves, metal bushings are installed. After that, you can attach a chain with a bucket to the gate.
Roof. A crate is made on the frame, after which it is covered with roofing material or tar paper to isolate it from moisture. Then the roofing works begin. Roofing material can be used slate, shingles, etc.
The final part of the work is the decorative design of the well. Wooden products can be decorated with carved elements. The decor depends only on the imagination and wishes of the owners of the infield.
A well is not just a place for storing water resources, but also an original decoration of a courtyard or garden. It is easy to build and decorate a house for a well yourself, and in order to pick up ideas and find inspiration, you can see a photo of houses for a well.
Making a decorative well in the country with your own hands
Ask any person today what associations a Russian village evokes in him, and everyone will name a hut, a stove and a well. In many cases, the only source of water in the village, the well, was the subject of special attention and care. Hence the proverbs: "You dig a well deep, the water will stand high" or "One person digs a well, a thousand people drink water."And the well-known advice not to give a damn about it is taken out of context, as diplomats say - in its original form there was the word "rotten". In the villages around them, people gathered, discussed the news or just gossiped.
Now the old wells do not look very presentable, and they have long ceased to be the center of social life in the village.
We have long been accustomed to plumbing, and the prospect of carrying water in buckets from somewhere does not please many. But the memory has remained, and summer residents are happy to decorate their plots with symbols of everyday life of a bygone era: carts, small mills, humpbacked bridges and decorative wells. A decorative well is the most popular element for decorating a plot, it does not matter if you dug a real catchment well, drilled a water well in this place, or decided to simply decorate your property with a beautiful "house". The only difference is that the operating well stands in the place where it was dug or drilled, and the water source must be reliably protected (we say "well", but in fact this part of it is called the head). Decorative can be placed anywhere on the site.
Let's talk about what decorative wells you can build with your own hands and what is required for this.
What it is
A decorative well is a good option for your summer cottage. They blend perfectly with the surroundings, thanks to the main component - wooden structures. Recently, people have begun to create them more and more in their country houses. The direct meaning of the well is the work of the water supply
It is important not to forget that the purpose of a decorative well is an aesthetic location on the site.
Types of decorative wells:
- House-blockhouse. A structure designed to complement the landscape design in the country or in the garden. The option for creating such a well is quite simple. He can fit in the role of a real well. The following materials are selected for its creation - branches, large stones. The auxiliary raw material is cement, twine.
- The flower pot is so nicknamed for its decorative value. The material used in this case is wood. The originality of such a well goes well with similar pots. Due to its small size, the well is usually installed on window sills.
- The well is a house. This option is becoming more and more popular. With its small size, it is great for stealthy hatches. And it can also perform its main function.
- Toy well. This type of product looks like a real well made of concrete and a roof made of wood. It contains all those elements that imagination is only capable of.
- Snow White. The main mystery of this type is the snow-white color. By the way, the variety of shades gives the landscape freshness and beauty.
- Extensive flower bed. Summer residents and gardeners with deep imagination will turn this version of the well into perfection. Made of several tiers decorated with flowers.
- A variant of a well made of light wood is considered a classic of its kind.
- Decorative birch wells can be used for main purposes.
Why do you need a house for a well
Convenience and purity of water
A well house is necessary, as it performs several functions at once:
- Its design eliminates the possibility of leaves, insects, dust, debris, as well as chemicals used when spraying plants near it from entering the water.
- Protects from the penetration of sunlight, which negatively affects the water.
- Prevents water from freezing in winter.
- Will close access to children and pets.
- It will serve as a decoration for the yard, which will emphasize the uniqueness and complete the composition of the site.
Design features
Various forms of structure for wells are allowed. They can be in the form of a simple shield covering the top of a well shaft or look like a log house. The roof is usually gable, single-pitched or in the form of an umbrella.The angle of inclination of the roof can be flat or sharp. The doors are usually located on one or both sides. They can be single-leaf, double-leaf, solid or sliding panels.
For the roof, a material is selected that, in color and texture, is in harmony with the buildings on the site. It can be painted or covered with soft tiles. Finishing with a stone and other textured materials looks beautiful. In this case, a layer of cement mortar is applied to the well ring, and stones are applied to it. The same principle is used for facing with mosaic tiles.
You don't have to purchase them from a hardware store to create all of these design details. The materials remaining after the construction of the house will do quite well:
- The cement applied to the well ring can be easily converted into a relief pattern in the form of brickwork. Until the mortar has frozen, you can draw lines to simulate bricks. When it has hardened, paint it in the appropriate color.
- Fragments of ceramic tiles can be split into fragments and laid out like puzzles, in the form of a composition around the base of the well.
- Enclose the base with round logs, giving any geometric shape. Racks can be decorated with dry bark. Plant flowers nearby, and decorate the roof slopes with curly carvings.
Appointment
If communications are connected to the country house, which ensure the flow of water, then a well is not needed. If desired, it is installed for decorative purposes. In addition to decorating the site, the structure can also perform a number of other functions.
Well with water
The well in this case performs the function of protecting the source from adverse environmental influences.
Barrels of water
The design is perfect for storing water containers. There is no need to be afraid that foreign bodies and debris will get into the water.
Storage
Inside the building, they organize storage space, for example, garden tools or other accessories. At the dacha, such a well will become an additional place to store the necessary things.
Original flower bed
It is common to use the structure as a flower bed. Boxes with flowers are placed on the base, climbing plants are planted next to it. In the garden, next to the building, a flower bed is also laid out so that the composition looks harmonious.
Sun canopy with bench
If you try and spend a little more effort and time, you will be able to create not only a decoration for the garden, but also a place to relax. The bench is recommended to be made of the same material as the base of the well. It is recommended to plant a bindweed nearby, which will additionally create shade for a comfortable stay.
Masking the imperfections of the landscape
If there are depressions, hills or other landscape imperfections on the site, it is recommended to mask them with a decorative structure. The area is immediately transformed, and irregularities will not be noticeable.
Where and how best to install
There are no particular restrictions here. You can install a well structure in any part of the suburban area. The main thing is that the adjacent territory is suitable for the style of decoration. It can be installed in a place where it is necessary to mask various elements of the landscape or engineering communications.
Particular attention is paid to the adjacent territory:
- Set up jugs, pots, and more.
- Lay out beautiful stone paths.
- Place the bench.
- Buy beautiful decorative figurines.
- A well near a reservoir, a bridge, etc. will look beautiful.
- Flowering plants are planted nearby.
Digging a mine
Almost every well pit, without exception, is dug vertically into the bottom over a section of about two meters, no more. The overall dimensions of the pit are set along the circumference of the concrete rings with a small margin.
The process of creating a well can be performed by a team of no more than 4 people, where you can alternately change in the process.
Of no small importance is the pit for the installation of the very first concrete ring, while the walls in the pit should be even and slightly rounded, and the bottom itself should have a flat surface.
After installing the first ring, they dig further under it, after which they put the second ring on it and under their weight they will sag. And so do it until the first water appears, and then the dirty water itself must be removed from the pit.
The connection of concrete rings is as follows. Each ring contains special steel rods, as well as hinges, which are connected with connecting bolts.
In the process of the arrival of water at the bottom of the pit, it is recommended to tightly lay small stones of medium size, after which, to level the floor of the mine, it is covered with fine gravel or crushed stone. At the same time, they can perform a peculiar role of a cleaning filter, so that soil particles do not come across when lifting a bucket of water to the surface.
Next, the well must collect water, which still cannot be consumed, it must be removed or pumped out, this process must be repeated until the water acquires a clean and transparent appearance.
Not the least importance should be given to the removal or removal of the soil raised to the surface. Then you can start making the head, which can be made in any form.
At the same time, recently it is considered very popular to have a beautiful and unique head that can decorate your yard as a decorative element.
Therefore, if you are planning to make a well in the country with your own hands, then you will have to put in a lot of time and effort, but the end result is worth it.
If, for some reason, you have any difficulties, then in this case you can seek the help of professionals. Also in this article there are many illustrated bright photos of the well, perhaps you will have something to your liking.
Ways to decorate a decorative well
We have considered how to make a decorative well. The next important task is to decorate it.
This is a simple and cute decor option. If you have a wattle fence, a wooden fence, a cart on your site, it is easy to arrange a well for this style. On a wooden well circle, you can put boxes with flowers, hang a wooden wheel on a rack. If you use climbing plants, over time they will beautifully braid the wheel and racks.
If there is a pond in the recreation area, throw a wooden bridge over it. The picture will be complemented by a path from tree cuts or lined with stone.
It is not difficult to build such a well, but it looks original and attractive. In addition, you can decorate it as you like. You will need a ring of concrete, which is used to build a normal well. The simplest decor option is to paint the ring in the color you like or in several different colors, you can depict an ornament on the concrete ring, apply drawings.
Stone cladding will add a medieval flavor to the well. Brick, sandstone will do, but one of the best options is pebbles - an excellent decorative material. You can choose large pebbles, a combination of small and large, lay out a pattern, paint stones - at your discretion. If such a building also has a roof, we can assume that this is a medieval version. But it is not necessary to make a roof; a crane can complement the ensemble.
Wonderful well-crane, where drawings in ethnic style became the highlight of the decor
A well without a roof with an unusual crane
Marine style is popular everywhere, and the summer cottage is no exception. Use ropes, make anchors out of plywood or wood. If you can find a beer keg, it will be a great substitute for a bucket. You can lay out a platform in front of the well with pebbles, if it is wooden, or use it to sheath the well container.
What to make a decorative well
If your summer cottage is equipped with a concrete well, then a stone or brick would be the most correct option. They are quite unpretentious to dampness, as well as to weather phenomena - showers, snowfalls. The main quality is strength and durability. You can even make a decorative well from tires or wood.
It's important to know! The design of your future well must take into account the material from which the house is created. There must be a clear harmony.
Required materials and tools
The main raw materials in the creation of a well are planks made of wood or timber. Protective goods are specially purchased for the high-quality preservation of your main raw materials from decay and mold. Necessary tools for manufacturing: saws, electric jigsaw, milling cutter, chisels, screwdriver or drill, fasteners, and measuring instruments.
How to make a decorative wood well with your own hands
To create a decorative well, you will need the following materials: wood planks, an electric or ordinary jigsaw, a grinding machine, a saw, nails, a hammer.
Let's start creating:
- Cut out two triangles from the boards to create the roof. The dimensions for this are determined as follows. The length should be 80 centimeters and the height should be 65 centimeters.
- Now let's start creating the main part of the well. To do this, you need to cut the boards with a saw. Length 1 meter 80 centimeters. Width - 15 centimeters, height 6. Prepare 12 parts 15 centimeters by 100 centimeters, size 15 by 80 centimeters.
- We start assembling the well. You will need a hammer and nails here. We fold the base in squares. Once the first row has been folded, secure everything with nails. And we also continue 6 more rows.
- Then we prepare the boards 1.5 meters high. We take a board 15 centimeters wide, nail it down to the bottom of the well. We also place 2 boards opposite the first.
- Then we nail the board from above and thereby connect the two supports.
- We fasten our triangles on the sides of the well.
- Then we smooth out all the corners on the sides of the product.
- Then we create a plank for the roof.
- We are engaged in the manufacture of the roof. We cut out 4 boards measuring 20 by 80 centimeters. Once the planks are done, attach them to the roof and nail them down.
- The last moment remains - this is a wheel with a shaft. We take a log and reduce the diameter and shape for the future wheel. And again we nail everything.
It will also be possible to paint the well so that it fits perfectly into the setting of the suburban area.
How to make a decorative stone well with your own hands
To create such a structure, you must first fill in the foundation. You can use a brick or concrete ring to create a well. And then just cover it with a brick. We dig the pillars for the support into the ground and sprinkle it with sand or stone, mount the roof. It is better to create it from the same material as the roof of your house.
The dimensions for the future well, you choose yourself. Wells made of natural or decorative stones are constructed according to these instructions. An easier and more convenient way would be to cover the concrete rings with artificial stone. To do this, use only high-quality and special glue. After creating the well, simply cover with varnish.
DIY decorative well.
We start making a decorative well.
We will make the lower box for the well from the boards, fasten the boards with screws.
Now we will make supports for the roof of the well, for this we attach two boards to the inner sides of the box with screws, for a stronger connection, you can also use wood glue to allow the glue to grip, fix the connection with clamps.
We will make a roof for the well, the roof frame is made of bars, the roof itself is sheathed with boards. We smooth out all the irregularities on the wood with sandpaper.
Let's make the sides for the box.
For a greater resemblance to a real village well, we will make a mechanism consisting of a handle and a drum for winding a rope and raising a bucket.
We fasten the mechanism to the side supports of our well; holes in the supports can be made with a wood drill.
So that the wood does not start to rot quickly, we cover it with an anti-fungal impregnation, and then stain and varnish. The stain will accentuate the structure of the wood, and the varnish will protect it from moisture.
For more ambiance, wind a rope around the drum and attach a decorative bucket.
The decorative well is ready, it can be installed directly on the grass in the garden or you can arrange flower beds around the well, there are a lot of options, it all depends on the author's imagination.
I also recommend watching a very interesting video: a decorative well in the country with your own hands, step-by-step manufacturing.
What you need in the course of designing a decorative well made of wood
Alternatively, use wooden planks or beams to make the well if it is assumed that the structure will be massive. Immediately purchase a special protective compound for the tree species, with which the well is not afraid of rot or mold. It will not do without a decorative coating - varnish or stain. Its choice depends only on your preferences.
For construction, you will need to prepare:
- saw;
- jigsaw;
- milling cutter;
- chisel;
- screwdriver;
- drill;
- fasteners;
- roulette;
- square.
Important! Remember that the list of tools will depend on what material you choose to make the well. In addition to materials and tools, it is important to prepare a drawing
Do not forget about this. Visualize any structure you are trying to make. Design it in a program or draw drawings on paper. This will not only help save money during the procurement of materials, but also reduce the time spent working, because the process is faster than it could be when you have pre-calibrated dimensions for each part. See how a partial drawing (below in the photo) of a decorative well, drawn up by hand, looks like

How to make it yourself, step by step instructions
If you have all the necessary tools and materials at hand, then making a homemade well will not be difficult in a couple of hours.
Instruments
Such instruments are prepared.
Jigsaw
It is easy to cut wood, plastic or metal with this tool. The cut can be made at different angles.
Chisels
The chisel is used for rough and fine wood processing. The tool allows you to clean out indentations, remove sharp corners, apply an outline and make a relief pattern.
Drill or screwdriver
With a drill, it is easy to make holes in any kind of material.
The screwdriver is designed for tightening and unscrewing fasteners.
Milling cutter
A cutter is a cutting tool with rotary blades. With its help, the surface of various materials is processed, grooves and keyways are cut, metal is cut.
Dimensional Drawings
After the type of construction has been selected, you need to prepare a diagram with the exact dimensions of all the main elements of the well.
Bottom assembly
A cube-shaped structure is assembled from the available wooden blocks. The length of the parts will depend on the size of the well itself.
The frame walls are interconnected by the sawing method, self-tapping screws or corners.
Racks and roof
Racks for the roof of the structure are attached to the base. Two blanks are cut, cut at an angle at the upper edge. The racks are placed inside the base and fixed with a screwdriver.
How to make a bucket and decks
The well gate is an integral part of the structure:
- The drum is made from a handle or stick.
- Holes are drilled in the racks, a stick is inserted and a handle is made on the protruding outer part on one side.
- Then a rope is wound around the drum and the bucket is suspended.
If you try, you will be able to make a bucket yourself:
- Wooden slats of the same size are prepared.
- The edges are coated with glue and connected together in an even row.
- Roll up the workpiece in the form of a cylinder and leave to dry.
- Then the bottom is cut out.
- The bottom and racks are connected with a screwdriver.
- A decorative cord can serve as a handle.
Decorating
The appearance of the structure depends on the chosen decoration method.
Sea style
A well made in a marine style looks interesting:
- the base and the posts are wrapped with a thick rope;
- instead of a bucket, a wooden barrel is hung;
- instead of a handle, a steering wheel is fixed;
- the surface of the structure is decorated with shells, sea pebbles, anchors.
Chinese
If there are a lot of stones in the garden, then an oriental-style well is suitable. An unusual feature typical of Japanese homes is the raised-edged roof. The base is made of both stone and wood.
Minimalism
The main feature of the minimalist design is the high functionality of each element. The main material is concrete. Stucco molding or painting is excluded. The roof is made flat.
Columns are the hallmark of antiquity.
Middle Ages
If this style is chosen, then natural stone, granite or cobblestones are taken for decoration. The roof of the structure is usually made in the form of a metal dome. Supports are best made from forged parts.
Village
The main material for making a well in the Russian style is wood. The base is made in the form of a 4 or 6-sided frame. The roof is covered with the same material as the roof of the house, or made of straw or shingles. Additional decorative elements will be painting and carving.
Suitable materials
A decorative well can be made from completely different materials. It all depends on the imagination of the master himself. Here are some common options:
- Stone. The base of the well is erected as in an ordinary well. Concrete ring or stone masonry looks old. You can dilute the same type of stone with wooden parts such as a crane or a rotating structure. For decoration, paints, mixtures and decorative colored stones are used.
- Wood. It is up to everyone to make a wooden well. It can be made from logs, logs or beams. These materials are readily available, inexpensive and environmentally friendly. They add color to the site, look organically on the territory of the garden. Despite the fact that a well made of wood requires constant maintenance, this option is very easy to make a visiting card at a summer cottage, you just have to give the wooden parts into the hands of a wood carving master.
- Brick. Making a brick well is a little harder and more expensive than the previous options. To create such a decoration, you will have to lay the foundation, otherwise the building will warp over time or go underground. Externally, the brick well is beautiful and mysterious.
- Materials at hand. If, for some reason, the above materials could not be obtained in the required quantity, then you can resort to everything that is at hand. Instead of a concrete ring, a rubber tire will work. The base can be built from wire, stumps and vines. Tiles, old plastic containers, or any kind of junk are good finishes.
The well can be made from several types of material.
