Question 1

Hi, Pond newbie here. In the description "Does not include water pump or basin; ..." What does basin mean here? Do I need it on top of this pond?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for your question. A basin for a water feature is a reservoir to collect water that is typically buried and has a grate on top to allow water to pass through. A pump is placed inside the reservoir that then feeds water up to some sort of decorative water feature that sits on top of the basin, this can be a fountain, a bubbling vase, ect. Customer's sometimes use these patio ponds as a sort of bubbling overflowing vase which is why the listing notates it doesn't include a basin. I personally like when these are used as micro water gardens, a much more unique piece in my opinion. If you need more help you can call Pond and Garden Depot toll free at 1-866-305-5459Cody H.

Question 2

Could this be used as a giant planter instead of water feature?  Having a difficult time finding something in this price point at this size.  Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Sure! But it does have a shelf in it. So you can put some plants on the shelf in the water. It's also very lite, easy to lift and move around.

Question 3

How to the 40 inch come delivered? Was it protected in a box? I’m worried about damage in shipping.

Accepted Answer

If I remember it was just packed in a box. It is very sturdy and heavy. I doubt that rough handling will damage it, unless they run it over with the truck!  And that’s not likely

Question 4

does this have a drain valve?

Accepted Answer

It does not. You have to tip it or use a syphon hose to empty it. That can be a bit inconvenient, but I have to say, I love my little container pond.
