Giannini Garden Beaumont Short Concrete Courtyard Outdoor Fountain

No, the fountain does not require complex assembly. Because it is hand-built and shipped as a finished piece, you will simply need to place it in your desired location and connect the pump to a standard outdoor power source.

Given the weight of the cast stone concrete, ensure the surface is level and capable of supporting a significant, concentrated load. A reinforced concrete pad or a stable, compacted stone base is recommended to prevent the fountain from settling unevenly over time.

The choice between Rustic Iron and Bronze is primarily aesthetic. Rustic Iron offers a darker, more weathered appearance that complements traditional or industrial garden styles, while Bronze provides a classic, metallic finish that will develop a natural patina as it is exposed to the elements.

Cast stone is durable, but it can accumulate debris or mineral deposits over time. We recommend cleaning the surface periodically with a soft brush and mild soap, and using a fountain-safe algaecide to keep the water clear and prevent buildup in the basin.

If you live in an area that experiences freezing temperatures, you must drain the fountain completely and cover it during the winter months. Trapped water that freezes can expand and cause cracks in the cast stone material.
