The Outdoor Plus Maya Planter and Water Bowl

No, the raw copper is designed to evolve. Over time, exposure to the elements will cause the metal to develop a natural blue-green patina, which is a hallmark of high-quality copper and adds character to the piece.

While the vessel is dual-purpose, you generally need to choose one primary function. If you use it as a planter, you will need to ensure the soil and drainage do not interfere with the water fitting and scupper mechanism.

The water feature requires a flow rate of 7-10 GPM to function correctly. You will need to source a pump that meets these specifications to ensure the water flows smoothly through the 0.75-inch scupper.

The unit is primarily designed as a water feature, so it does not come with pre-drilled drainage holes. If you intend to use it exclusively as a planter, you may need to drill holes yourself, though this may affect its ability to hold water later.

The hammered finish is both aesthetic and functional. It provides a sophisticated, handcrafted look while also helping to hide minor scratches or dings that might occur during outdoor use.

The unit includes the necessary copper scupper and water fitting for installation. You will need to connect your water supply line to the fitting, which is straightforward, but we recommend consulting a professional if you are not comfortable with basic plumbing connections.
