What customers say
Consumers consistently praise the design and quality of this stacked slate wall base. Its remarkably realistic aesthetic creates a sophisticated natural focal point for water features. The construction feels durable and substantial, promising longevity outdoors.

Know before you buy
Yes, the base is designed with three integrated spillover outlets, allowing it to function as a standalone waterfall feature without needing additional components.
The base is engineered to support compatible Aquascape stacked slate toppers. You can securely stack these units to increase the height and visual impact of your water feature.
While the fiber-resin composite is lightweight for easier installation, it is durable and stable. However, once filled with water, the added weight provides significant stability for most residential garden settings.
The fiber-resin composite is molded to replicate the texture and appearance of natural stacked slate. It offers the aesthetic appeal of stone while being much easier to handle and position.
Maintenance is minimal. You should periodically wipe down the surface to remove debris or algae buildup and ensure the water outlets remain clear for an even flow.
