Know before you buy
These are crafted from genuine, natural volcanic basalt. Because they are natural stone, each piece will have unique variations in color and texture that evolve into a distinct patina over time.
The columns are core-drilled to accept up to 1-inch Schedule 40 PVC or 0.75-inch kink-free tubing. They also feature a 2-inch diameter recessed socket at the top specifically designed to house an Atlantic Fountain Light for a glowing water plume effect.
Each pillar is cut with a flat, sawn base, which provides a stable foundation for placement on a fountain basin or support grate. Given their significant weight—ranging from 92 to 210 pounds depending on the size—they are very secure once set in place.
Yes, these columns are available in various heights and can be purchased as individual pieces or in three-piece sets. Mixing heights is a popular way to create a more dynamic, layered water feature in your landscape.
Natural basalt is extremely durable and requires very little maintenance. Over time, the stone will naturally develop a multi-colored patina, which most owners find enhances the aesthetic appeal of the fountain.
