- Ideal for pondless water feature construction.
- Heavy duty PVC, weatherproof, waterproof and will never rust.
- Very Sturdy; about 2 ⅝ inches thick.
- Self-supporting grate needs no additional support for most water features.
- If the grate is used to support any item weighing over 50 pounds, then cinder blocks should be added beneath, allowing the grate to support up to 1,000 pounds.
- Can be easily cut with a hand-held circular saw to customize its shape, if needed.
If you don't want a sagging or leaning water feature, then use this heavy duty grate to keep it upright and level. This sturdy, self supporting grate platform requires no additional support for most water features. It is commonly used to cover water basins or reservoirs that support bubbling rocks, fountain vases, pottery or faux rocks. You can also use this strong black grate to construct a pondless waterfall or different pondless water feature.
Duronet Hardware Cloth Plastic Mesh is available to keep out fine debris.
- The 24" x 24" size is cut to size from a larger 24" x 48" grate, so will have one cut edge.
- We recommend adding support blocks under the grate's center for any fountain, stone or other feature that weighs over 50 pounds because even a heavy duty grate can sag in time without support. With cinder blocks added beneath, this grate can support up to 1,000 pounds.
- This product is only a support grate. Basins, reservoirs and pond liners to create water features are sold separately.

Very sturdy grate yet easy to trim to size
I used this as grate for a bubbling water feature. The grate is sturdy with minimal support - just three stacks of bricks and it is holding a water feature weighing over 100 pounds. Rounded off the corners to fit an oval basin and there is enough internal webbing to maintain the strength and structural integrity needed to bear the weight.

A non-pond use
I used two Heavy Duty Fountain Base Grates to raise the floor in a tiled shower. A family member has a beautiful tiled shower with a 2 1/2" high threshold to step over. He is temporarily confined to a wheelchair and I needed to make the shower accessible without damaging the structure or tiles. I bought a folding aluminum ramp to bridge the 2 1/2 inches from the bathroom floor to the top of the shower thresh hold. Inside I placed these two grates on the shower floor making it level with the thresh hold. It works very well. The grates are very sturdy. They are made to get wet, water drains nicely through the top, and the chair wheels roll easily over the top grid. I had to trim 6" from each grate but it cut easily on a table saw with a standard wood blade.

Did bend under weight
We used this for a pondless water feature. Initially we didn't have any support, but it bowed considerably, so we added a PVC pipe in the middle. It's still went a little wonky, even with a lot of support. So just expect for it to give. I do love that it doesn't rust and was easy to cut a hole in for accessing our pump without removing all the rocks. I would purchase again.
