Cheshire 2-Tier Concrete Pedestal Fountain w/Lights - Massarellis #3570

Fountain Safety

Traditional fountains have no interlocking components and are held together by gravity. Gluing/cementing parts together is not recommended as they may need to be dismantled to replace the pump, hardware, or to relocate the fountain. 

⚠️ CAUTION: Excessive weight or pressure on a concrete fountain may cause it to fall. Keep children & others from climbing, sitting, or leaning on the fountain.

Placements

Benches

Nestle into pea gravel for the ultimate support. Otherwise, any stable surface will work.

Birdbaths - Statuary - Planters

Nestle into pea gravel for the ultimate support. Otherwise, any stable surface will work.

A Massarelli foundation will provide solid support when needed.

Fountains

Non-basin tiered fountains

• A concrete fountain must be placed on a level and firm surface and not raised off the ground more than the inch or two that would occur if using a foundation.
  
• A Massarelli foundation slab will additionally help prevent unplanned erosion from the weather, sprinkler system, and fountain splash.
  
• For both safety and optimal performance, do not place fountain on a pedestal or riser, unless included as part of the fountain design. 

Wall Fountains

• If recessing the fountain into a wall or structure, use professional contractors who understand concrete expansion principles and the required joint spacing and materials to help with the buildup of stress when concrete naturally expands and contracts seasonally. 
  
• Wall fountains should be secured to a wall with galvanized wire, chain, etc. whenever possible.

Basin/Pond Fountains

• Massarelli pool-style fountains generally work best on either a 4" concrete slab or 6" of pea gravel (or crushed rock). Call us with any questions.

Care & Cold Weather State Guidance

• Guide: Massarellis Cast Stone Concrete Maintenance & Winterization
• See Fountainful's Cleaning & Care Page

While high-density cast stone concrete is designed to produce a strong and durable product, proper maintenance is recommended to protect our product from the freeze-thaw cycles that occur in winter.

Any piece which can hold water, snow or ice, (e.g., fountain top or bowl, birdbath, planter, saucer) AND any piece placed directly onto the ground surface (e.g., statue, fountain/birdbath base, planter, bench leg) can potentially be damaged by the winter freeze-thaw cycles if proper steps are not taken.

The Mark of Craftsmanship

• From warm earth tones to stately shades of stone, and from subtle antique hues to classic bronzes – the selection is inspiring, the possibilities are endless.
• Massarelli's finishes are specially formulated to enhance with the passage of time as they patina from exposure to the elements and conditions around them.
• Remember: these color finishes are stains – not paint. Stains are formulated to enhance and complement the hand-sculpted concrete, not hide it! It’s natural for the cast stone to show through in parts.

Massarelli's finishes are another testament to the true beauty of products handcrafted by the Massarelli family for more than 50 years.

Color Representation

• Products are photographed in a variety of settings, including natural and artificial lighting.
  
• When viewed in person, the actual color, shape, size and texture of products will vary from those shown on color medallions and in catalogs, promotional materials, digital screens and online as every single product is handcrafted and painted.
• Curing time, the weather on the day the finish is applied, and material textures all determine the unique outcome of each finish.
  

These factors add to the uniqueness and authenticity of your product! No two are alike, and variations are normal.

There are no warranties on applied finishes or guarantee that a finish will exactly match a color medallion or media photography.
