Vase Fountain Kits are one of our top selling products because installing them is easy. It's the perfect weekend project to dress up any landscape.
Step 1
Clear/level area based on the size of the basin type plus 1-2” width and length.

window.SHOGUN_IMAGE_ELEMENTS = window.SHOGUN_IMAGE_ELEMENTS || new Array(); window.SHOGUN_IMAGE_ELEMENTS.push({ hoverImage: '', uuid: 's-39c96417-6f4d-4b70-bce8-b267dcba2dc0' })

Step 2
Dig the hole to the size and depth of the basin. Keep in mind the basin should sit approximately 1-1/2” below grade once the installation is complete.
Step 3
Level the bottom of the hole with sand or small gravel and tamp to ensure no settling occurs after installation.

Step 4
Set basin in the hole and verify that the box top is level and approximately 1” below grade.
If you will be using a liner bib, ensure surrounding area gently slopes toward the basin to ensure water makes its way back to the basin.

Step 5
Backfill void between box and soil with a self-compacting material such as sand or pea gravel. When using excavated soil be sure to regularly compact with a tamper.
If your basin included a cardboard cover leave it in place while you backfill to prevent soil from falling into the basin.
