Fountain Sculpture
Garden Waterfall Corten Steel Outdoor Water Fountain
A corten steel water fountain is designed for a garden or outdoor space where water flows over a sculpted surface, creating a gentle sound and a reflective surface that changes with light and weather. This piece is a custom-built outdoor sculpture made from corten steel, which develops a stable rust patina over time, giving it a weathered, organic look. The listed size range is 3 to 9 meters, and like most items in this catalogue, it is made to any size within that range on request. It is intended for permanent installation in gardens, courtyards, or public plazas where the sound of water and the visual presence of the rusted form are part of the landscape experience.

Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Constructed from corten steel, which forms a protective rust layer over time

Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- Corten steel, which develops a stable rust patina that protects the metal and requires no maintenance
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use, suitable for areas with moderate exposure
- 316 stainless steel for harsher environments, such as coastal zones or areas with de-icing salts
- No paint or coating applied; the surface is left to weather naturally
- The steel is formed and welded to create a structure that supports water flow and structural integrity
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the garden or site context, including water flow path and visual impact
- Small model created and scaled up to full size, with internal support and water routing designed
- Corten steel plate forged to shape, welded into the final form, and ground to smooth joints
- Water flow system integrated into the sculpture, with inlet and drainage details
- Surface allowed to weather naturally; no sealing or coating applied
- Packed in a wooden crate with inner plastic or foam for protection during transport
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Welds are ground and finished to prevent sharp edges and ensure water flows smoothly
- Internal structure checked for stability and water routing before final assembly
- Packing method ensures the surface is protected during transit
- No coating or paint applied, so the natural weathering process is not interrupted
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size between 3 and 9 meters, or custom dimensions outside that range
- Water flow pattern and outlet location can be adjusted to suit the site
- Design modified from a photograph or drawing provided by the customer
- Base and fixing details designed to suit the installation site and ground conditions
- Available in multiple stock designs, allowing faster delivery for standard configurations
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel water feature | Painted steel requires repainting every few years and can chip; corten steel develops a protective layer and needs no maintenance after weathering |
|---|---|
| A mirror polished stainless steel fountain | Polished steel reflects light and shows dirt; corten steel blends with the landscape and is less reflective |
| A fiberglass water sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be used for large water features and lacks the durability of steel |
| A bronze water sculpture | Bronze is more expensive and develops a green patina; corten steel offers a more consistent rust tone and lower long-term cost |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose a size that fits the garden or plaza without dominating the space
- Ensure the site has proper drainage and access for water supply and outlet
- Plan for the natural weathering process; the surface will change over time
- Avoid abrasive cleaning; water and a soft cloth are sufficient for surface maintenance
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to road salt
- Allow 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport when planning the installation date
