About
A decorative outdoor water feature that spans several feet wide and weighs more than half a ton.
Garden fountains range from small tabletop bubblers to massive multi-tiered estate centerpieces. Made of cast stone or concrete, a fountain of this size is much heavier than modern resin replicas, which often weigh under 50 pounds (23 kg). The weight increases significantly once the reservoir is filled, since water adds over 8 pounds per gallon (1 kg per liter) to the structure.
From Wikipedia
A fountain, from the Latin "fons", meaning source or spring, is a decorative reservoir used for discharging water. It is also a structure that jets water into the air for a decorative or dramatic effect in landscapes.
