Know before you buy
No, it is crafted from Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC). This material is molded from real stone to capture authentic textures while remaining significantly lighter and easier to position than solid rock.
The kit is a complete package containing the GFRC boulder, a 49-inch square basin with a grate and screen, a 530gph Mag-Drive pump, all necessary plumbing, and Muck Buster tablets for water maintenance.
The basin measures 49 inches square, so you will need a level area at least that size to accommodate the foundation. The boulder itself is 36 inches wide by 24 inches deep and 24 inches high.
The kit is designed for straightforward installation and includes a manual to guide you through the process. While it requires some physical effort to place the basin and boulder, the plumbing and pump connections are designed for quick setup.
No, this is a recirculating system. The 70-gallon basin holds the water, which is pumped up through the boulder and then cycles back down into the basin, requiring only occasional top-offs due to natural evaporation.
In areas that experience freezing temperatures, we recommend draining the basin and disconnecting the pump for the winter. Storing the pump indoors prevents damage from ice expansion.
