3-Tier Lion Urn Fountain, D48″ x H80″, Cabo Sands Granite

Add a classical elegant look to your landscape with this 3-tier granite fountain. This beautiful Lion Urn granite fountain is hand-carved from Cabo Sands Granite and is honed for a truly tasteful look.  Water bubbles from the carved finial at the top then cascades from the lions mouths to the tiers below.  This granite Fountain is an ideal addition for any garden fountain, entry fountain, patio fountain, pound fountain, etc…

• Dimensions: 80″ H x 48″ D.
• Material: Cabo Sands Granite
• Pump is not included – as pump size will depend on how the fountain is set up.
• Check out this Blog Post to learn more about why a GRANITE fountain is better than other more porous stones, and can essentially last FOREVER!
• And if you’d like to learn more about fountain maintenance, we have many blog posts about that in this area of our website.

Please Note:

• Photo is representative of the typical carving details on this fountain. Each hand carved fountain is a little different than the next based on the artisan that carved it.
• Variations in the natural stone can exhibit unique veining and coloration.  So, you can be assured that no one in the world will have one EXACTLY like yours!
• Also, if this color of granite doesn’t work well with your surroundings, we also have other colors of this type of fountain here: Urn Fountains
• Keep in mind though, that natural stone is typically a lighter color when it’s dry vs a darker/more vibrant color when it’s wet. 
  • Check the sample page photos, noted in the material heading above, to see what this granite looks like wet vs dry.
  • If you like the lighter color, you can seal it with a product called Miracle 511 Porous Plus, to keep it that way for several years, and also make it easier to clean if algae – dirt get on it. 
  • Or, if you like the darker version of the color, you would seal it with a product called Miracle 511 Seal/Enhance – to keep it that color for several years (until the sealer wears off.)

Depending on how you want your fountain to sound and operate, you could also consider one of the following fountain configurations:

1. A Self-Contained Fountain.

• This is where the pump sits concealed within the bottom bowl. Only the 2 upper bowls spill water and it requires the smallest pump of all options.
• Warning, depending on relative humidity and how windy it is that day, this kind of fountain can run out of water relatively quickly.

2. A Modified Self Contained Fountain (sump-pit option)

• Still only the 2 upper bowls spill water, but you are able to include an autofill kit to maintain the water level in the fountain at all times.
• This requires a larger pump than the self-contained option.
• Pump size also depends on the distance between the sump pit and the actual fountain. The fountain and pump could be up to 20-feet apart if you would like the fountain in a courtyard but to hide the sump pit behind some shrubs or the courtyard wall.
• Here is a blog post to explain more about this kind of fountain installation: Modified Self Contained Water Fountains

3. You can make a Disappearing Fountain and place this centerpiece over a pond less basin. (which is shown in the video below.)

• The pump sits within the gravel-covered plastic basin dug into the ground directly beneath the fountain and the water runs down to the polished rocks on the ground.
• An autofill kit can be mounted to the inside wall of the pondless basin basin, so then you do not even have to fill it up with a hose. 
  • Please note, the water must fall into rocks over the basin, wood chips should not be installed there, as they will degrade over time and foul your pump.
• Here is a blog post to explain more about this kind of fountain installation: Installing a Disappearing Fountain
• This kind of installation (as well as the modified self contained) is very good if you have many trees in the area, which would otherwise drop leaves into a pool, and cause major maintenance needs with your pump.

4. Height of bottom basin:  30″, so a minimum of a 10′ pool surround is recommended for this fountain.  (Or, if you have a windy area or are using a spray ring, an 12′ – 14′ diameter surround is probably the size you should use.)

• Enjoy optional effects like underwater LED lighting or a copper fountain spray ring.
