Easy setup with the included fitting and tubingFrequently Asked Questions
How are the Faux Basalt Columns made?
These columns are crafted by hand using fiberglass sheets, resin, and stone aggregate.
What if the surface gets damaged or chipped?
Surfaces can be easily repaired with common products, such as:
- Black shoe polish
- Permanent marker
- Outdoor paint (Chocolate brown and Lamp black)
What plumbing options are available?
Each column includes 3/4″ flexible tubing and a small clear fitting. The clear fitting can be replaced with an Aquascape Fountain Light to illuminate the water outlet. For higher flow rates, the column can accommodate 1″ Schedule 40 PVC pipe.
Can I secure the base in public or windy areas?
The columns are built to withstand normal conditions, and gravel usually provides enough stability. However, if needed, the base can be further secured by drilling through the fiberglass base and attaching it to the desired surface with hardware or zip ties.
Can the base be altered for custom uses?
YES! The base can be cut to fit the columns into smaller spaces using a grinder or Sawzall. Always wear proper eye and breathing protection when cutting fiberglass. Note: If parts of the base are removed, ensure the columns are properly supported and secured during installation.
