Introducing our large-diameter collection of GFRC "basalt" fountains that can add a soothing sound of running water to your garden, regardless of its size. Increasingly popular among homeowners who want to enhance the appeal of their garden space, our basalt columns, real stone or hand-crafted, are typically sold in sets of three of varying heights.
Unlike their Real Stone Basalt counterparts, Blue Thumb’s Handcrafted GFRC Fountains are only about a quarter of the weight of Real Stone, making them easier to handle and install. These Triple Kits offer versatility and grandeur with 3 handcrafted fountains grouped together, with heights of 42", 54", and 66".
Molded from real basalt columns, these Large and Tall Column sets capture the rugged beauty of natural stone formations. Their impressive height and sculptural presence make them a striking choice for gardens, landscapes, and outdoor water feature installations.
Basalt is a volcanic rock and one of the most common types of rock in the world. Although it is common, it is rare to find the long, solid columns of basalt. Our solution was to create our own handmade rock columns using our popular hand-crafted GFRC molded from real stone basalt columns.
Our proprietary Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete blend opens up a world of possibilities. Available in Dark Espresso, Chestnut Brown, or Dapple Gray, these GFRC Handcrafted "Basalt" Columns bring elegance to any garden setting.
The reservoir/basin needs to be of the right thickness and be supportive enough to hold the weight of these dense columns and not cave over time. Our AquaBox® Basins are the best choice when installing a basalt column fountain kit. We match the fountain size(s) with the perfect basin, pump size, and all necessary plumbing. The only thing you need to figure out is the fountain placement that gives the best viewing in your chosen location.
