A 61cm column occupies almost no plan area, so it fits in a garden bed beside a path or in the corner of a courtyard where a bowl or an urn would crowd everything around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasalt columns are a real landscape material, usually quarried and drilled to order at considerable cost and weight. This is a composite cast from real basalt, so you get the form and texture at a fraction of the weight and without a crane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe water behaviour is specific. It rises through the core and spills from the centre of the top face, so it runs down all sides evenly rather than off one edge. Against a wall that gives you a column of movement rather than a directional fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt runs an Ultra 2100 into an AquaBasin 30, which is the smallest combination Aquascape supply. Expect a soft, close sound. If you are trying to mask road noise across a whole courtyard, the Medium urn or a spillway bowl will do more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow a self-contained fountain actually works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a closed loop with half of it buried.
