I’m thinking about getting an outdoor garden wall fountain for my yard, but I have a few questions for anyone out there who currently owns one in a cold-weather state.

Here in Colorado, you get freezing nights for six straight months at a time, though it is always above freezing during the day, and we get a lot of darned nice days throughout the winter.  My question is, if I get one of those garden wall fountains, will I have to pretty much shut it down, winterize it, and not really ever use it from mid-October to mid-April?

If I get one of those that can be moved around, maybe I can just move it onto the porch during those months-do you think that would work?  How do you guys deal with not being able to use such a significant feature out in the yard for such a long period of time?  Or do you find that you can just leave the water in it and then just turn it on intermittently whenever you want to on a nice day in the fall, winter and early spring?  I’m just not sure I want to buy one if I can use it even less time than the barbecue.
