This 50cm Slate Sphere garden water feature is a complete natural-stone kit for patios, gravel beds and borders. Water rises through the centre and runs across the textured slate before returning to the hidden reservoir. The pump, white LED light, 67cm reservoir and 70cm support grid are supplied. Each sphere varies slightly because the slate is naturally layered.
Matt's pick for medium spaces: âSeven of these 50cm slate spheres were delivered in the year to June 2026. From our experience, this size gives a substantial sphere water feature without needing the space of the 60cm model.â

About the 50cm Slate Sphere water feature
The 50cm sphere is formed from pieces of natural slate, which create its ridged surface. Water catches these edges as it flows, producing a moving sheen rather than a flat polished effect. The white LED light illuminates the water after dark.
The feature measures 500mm high, wide and deep. Its reservoir is 670mm in diameter and 340mm high. A 700mm support grid sits over the reservoir beneath gravel or cobbles. Use the side diagram and listed dimensions to check the excavation area before delivery.

Setup and care
A firm, level base is recommended for the reservoir. Keep the pump accessible and test the flow before covering the grid. Top up the reservoir during dry weather and remove leaves before they reach the pump. Follow the supplied pump instructions during freezing conditions.
