Transform Your Outdoor Space with Natural Stone Beauty

The Klamath® Basin Fountain Kit brings the serene sound of flowing water and the timeless elegance of natural stone to your backyard or garden. Our most popular single GFRC fountain design creates a wonderful small birdbath that attracts wildlife while serving as a stunning focal point for any outdoor setting.

Authentic Stone Appearance, Innovative Construction

Each GFRC fountain is meticulously molded from a real stone boulder and handcrafted at Blue Thumb using durable Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete. This innovative construction delivers the authentic look and texture of natural stone while weighing hundreds of pounds less than identical "real" stone pieces. The result is a fountain that combines visual authenticity with practical installation and long-lasting durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between the Complete Kit and Rock Only options?
A: The Complete Kit includes everything you need for installation: the GFRC fountain rock, basin with grate and screen, pump, plumbing, tubing, water treatment tablets, and installation manual. The Rock Only option includes just the GFRC fountain rock, ideal for custom installations or replacing an existing rock.

Q: How much does the fountain weigh?
A: The GFRC fountain rock weighs approximately 42 lbs. Complete kits weigh around 50 lbs total, while rock-only options weigh approximately 40 lbs. This is significantly lighter than natural stone equivalents.

Q: What's the difference between Dapple Gray and Chestnut rock finishes?
A: Both finishes are molded from real stone and hand-prepared to achieve authentic texture. Dapple Gray offers cool, neutral tones that complement contemporary and traditional landscapes, while Chestnut provides warmer, earthy tones ideal for natural garden settings.

Q: Do I need polished pebbles?
A: Polished pebbles are optional but recommended. They enhance the natural aesthetic, help conceal the basin grate, and create a finished, professional appearance. One bag is typically sufficient.

Q: Can I add lighting to my fountain?
A: Yes! We offer two lighting options: the IllumiGlow® Fountain 3 Light Kit for exterior illumination and the IllumiGlow® Fountain Plume Light Kit for interior plume lighting. Both create stunning nighttime displays.
