Gist Obtuse Fountain
The Gist Obtuse Fountain combines modern elegance with a timeless water feature design, making it a perfect addition to gardens, patios, courtyards, and luxury landscapes. Its refined, tapered silhouette creates a bold yet minimalist focal point, while the water cascades smoothly from the polished sphere over geometric tiers into the basin below, producing a calming, soothing sound that enhances outdoor relaxation.
Crafted from Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC), the Obtuse Fountain offers the appearance of natural stone with the benefits of a lightweight, highly durable material. Built to withstand the elements, it’s weather-resistant and easier to handle compared to traditional cast stone. Powered by an electric recirculating pump and featuring a manual fill system, this fountain requires no plumbing or complex installation, making it as practical as it is stylish.

Important Installation Notes
This fountain must be placed on a flat, solid, and level base for proper operation and safety. For fountains with basins, install on 1”–2” of sand over a concrete pad to minimize stress cracks and assist with leveling. A stable foundation is required to prevent settling or tilting. A leveled fountain pad must be used to maintain warranty coverage, as the manufacturer is not responsible for damage caused by improper installation or ground settling.

I love how sculptural this fountain looks—it’s like having an art piece in my garden. The water sound is gentle, almost like a whisper, which is perfect for quiet evenings. Just a heads-up: it’s heavy, so pick your spot carefully before setting it up.
