The Aquascape Faux Basalt Columns simplify the creation of a stunning, recirculating fountain with five pieces. The set includes columns of varying heights: 18 inches (46 cm), 24 inches (61 cm), 30 inches (76 cm), 36 inches (91 cm), and 42 inches (107 cm). Each column is crafted to resemble real basalt, handmade in the USA from fiberglass, resin, and natural stone, ensuring a lifelike and durable fountain.

Unlike genuine basalt, which is heavy and challenging to install, these lightweight faux columns allow for quick and easy setup. Each column features a stable base that can be secured with decorative gravel. The included tubing and plumbing fittings can be easily installed in the recessed area at the top of the fountain. For added ambiance, consider incorporating a color-changing or warm white Fountain Light to enhance the water display (sold separately). This set of five columns is perfect for large custom fountain reservoirs.

Common Questions

How are the Faux Basalt Columns produced?

These columns are crafted by hand using fiberglass sheets, resin, and stone aggregate.

What if the surface gets damaged or chipped?

Damaged surfaces can be easily repaired with commonly available products such as:

  • Black shoe polish
  • Permanent marker
  • Outdoor paint (Chocolate brown and Lamp black)

What plumbing configurations are available?

Each column comes with 3/4″ flexible tubing and a small clear fitting. This fitting can be swapped for one of the Aquascape Fountain Lights to light up the water outlet. For higher flow rates, the column accommodates 1″ Schedule 40 PVC pipe.

Can I secure the base in public or windy areas?

The columns are designed to withstand typical conditions, and gravel is usually sufficient for stability. However, for extra security, you can drill through the fiberglass base and fasten it to the desired surface with hardware or zip ties.

Can the base be modified for custom applications?

YES! The base can be cut to fit into tighter spaces using a grinder or Sawzall. Proper eye and breathing protection should be worn while cutting fiberglass. Note: If parts of the base are removed, ensure the columns are adequately supported and secured during installation.
