What customers say
Consumers consistently praise the striking aesthetic of the Triple Corten Urn Kit, noting its powerful visual presence as a centerpiece. The intentional rusted finish is a major draw, delivering a sophisticated, organic look that matures beautifully over time.

While the kit is substantial, setup is reported as straightforward, making this a highly valued addition to outdoor spaces.
Know before you buy
No, Corten steel is designed to be low-maintenance. The rust patina is a self-protecting layer that prevents further corrosion, so you do not need to apply any sealants, paints, or protective coatings.
Because the steel develops a natural patina through environmental exposure, some rust runoff can occur, especially during the initial weathering process. It is recommended to place the fountain on a surface that can handle potential staining, such as gravel, stone, or a protective mat.
The kit includes the urn itself, but please note that the pump is not included. You will need to purchase a compatible water pump separately to complete the installation.
While the Corten steel is durable enough to remain outdoors year-round, you must winterize the pump to prevent damage. Disconnect the pump, clean it, and store it in a frost-free location during freezing temperatures.
When you first receive the urn, it may arrive in a raw steel state. Over time, exposure to the elements will cause it to develop a rich, deep orange-brown rust patina that continues to evolve and mature based on your local climate.
Assembly is straightforward, but because of the weight and size of the steel urn, it is recommended to have two people assist with the placement and setup. You will need to secure the fountain and install the plumbing components according to the provided instructions.
