Amish-Made Decorative Rotating Wooden Waterwheel
Bring a touch of traditional charm to your water feature with these Amish-Made Decorative Rotating Wooden Waterwheels, handcrafted in Pennsylvania. These beautiful pieces are constructed from Pressure Treated Yellow Pine, featuring sealed wheel bearings and a cold-rolled steel axle for smooth operation. They are designed as overshoot wheels, meaning water should enter from the top for the most traditional and showy effect. Available in four sizes ranging up to 48 inches in diameter, these wheels are intended purely for decoration and require immediate finishing if purchased unfinished to ensure longevity against the elements. A 100gph pump is recommended for optimal visual display.
