Know before you buy
No, the basin is sold as a standalone structure. You will need to purchase and install a compatible pond pump and filtration system separately based on your specific water feature requirements.
Yes, the heavy cast stone concrete is designed for permanent outdoor placement and is weather-resistant. However, in regions with harsh freeze-thaw cycles, you should drain the basin during winter to prevent potential cracking from ice expansion.
The basin arrives as a finished piece and does not require assembly. Because of its size and weight, we recommend having a professional landscaper or a team of movers assist with placement to ensure the surface is level and stable.
Due to the significant weight of the cast stone when filled with water, it must be placed on a solid, level surface such as a concrete pad, stone patio, or a reinforced landscape base. Placing it on soft or uneven ground can cause the basin to shift or crack over time.
The finishes are applied to the cast stone to provide aesthetic appeal and an extra layer of protection. While these finishes are durable, you should avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or pressure washers, as these can strip the finish and damage the concrete surface.
