Know before you buy
The apron extends beyond the perimeter of your basin to catch water droplets that would otherwise land on the surrounding ground. By funneling this water back into the reservoir, it minimizes water loss and reduces the frequency at which you need to refill your fountain.
Yes, the 76-inch square material is designed to be custom-cut. You can easily trim it with heavy-duty scissors or a utility knife to fit the unique contours of your fountain setup.
The apron is constructed from durable plastic intended to handle the weight of decorative rocks or mulch placed on top of it. However, it is not designed for high-traffic foot areas and should be treated as a functional landscape accessory.
No, this product is not UV-resistant or frost-resistant. We recommend installing it in a location where it will be covered by decorative stone or mulch to protect the material from direct sun exposure and environmental wear.
The apron is designed for ground-level installation. Simply lay it flat around your basin, cut the center to match your reservoir opening, and secure it by placing decorative gravel, river rock, or mulch over the edges to hold it in place and hide the plastic from view.
