These Chatsworth solar birdbath fountains are a popular product listing on eBay this summer. They're made of resin and available in at least two varieties, 'oiled bronze' and 'weathered stone'. The resin manufacture makes them physically light enough to rest on a deck or be moved around for to suit a temporary need.

[Chatsworth Solar Birdbath - eBay]

Solar fountains come in two categories - intact products and retro-fitting kits for existing fountains, birdbaths and pools. The former are terrific but tend to be a bit expensive, unless they're small. The latter give you a lot more leeway and if you're fond of home improvement projects, making one can be a lot of fun.

As an example, often you can find the fundamentals for a great fountain at your local garden shop or architectural salvage lot. Barrels, tubs, old commercial mixing tubs - anything that holds water can fit the bill. Then, with the aid of a solar fountain kit, you can often transform it into a fully functional fountain in a matter of minutes.

The pleasant ambiance of moving water will be yours to enjoy!
