Know before you buy

The kit includes the essential hardware, such as the 22-inch spillway, a 4200 GPH pump, the necessary PVC flex pipe, rubber liners, and sealing foam. You will need to source your own decorative rocks, boulders, and gravel to complete the landscaping and hide the basin.
The included components are designed to support a stream approximately 15 feet long and 2 to 4 feet wide. If you plan to build a longer or wider feature, you would need to purchase additional liner and piping separately.
