Know before you buy
Because this fountain weighs 180 pounds, it requires a level, stable, and solid surface such as a concrete patio, stone pavers, or a reinforced deck. Avoid placing it directly on soft soil or grass to prevent the base from settling or shifting over time.
No, this is a recirculating fountain. It features an internal reservoir that holds the water, which is then pumped back to the top, so you do not need to connect it to a permanent water line.
The finish is designed for outdoor use and will develop a natural, weathered patina over time. To maintain the original look, you may choose to apply a concrete sealer, though many owners prefer the evolving, rustic character the piece gains as it ages.
The fountain arrives in sections that need to be stacked and secured. While it is a freestanding unit, we recommend having two people assist with the assembly due to the weight of the concrete components.
Yes, if you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, you must drain the water and cover the fountain or move it to a protected area. If water freezes inside the concrete, it can cause the material to crack or expand.
