The vertical bamboo is substantial. It comes with a quarter inch hose. It easily fits through it and out the horizontal spout complete with a little bamboo peg to hold it all in place. The photo says it all.

Super quick and easy installation to my existing pond pump. I slipped the bamboo fountain over a slender gardening stake for added stability (there was just enough room inside the fountain for the tubing and the slender stake). After much consideration I decided not to put fish in my pond. Instead I went with colored glass float balls—added color interest without the constant maintenance of fish.

The pump died after one day of use.The bamboo is beautiful. I cannot return it because it is already concreted into the ground.

I used this for a small existing pond that had a funky looking stone waterfall that needed to be replaced. I removed the waterfall and installed this bamboo spout. When I test mounted it next to the pond, even though it is only three feet high, it looked too big in proportion to the pond. I was going to saw about a foot of it off but my wife talked me into just burying it about ten inches and surrounding it with stones to get it to blend in better. Couldn’t be happier with the results. Installed a blue tooth controlled switch for the pump so I can control it with an app on my cell phone. The photo shown is using my existing pump, not the pump that comes with the spout. Not sure if there is any difference.

I had a deer scare type that fell apart. This is a real heavy duty spout and the pump provides a nice power adjustment. The only problem I had was the pump filter needed to be cleaned every other day. So I took a one liter bottle made a cut half way thru it, put a hole for the tube in the side and the pump in the bottle with the cord going out the top, drilled small holes in the side of the bottle to let water get in and now I waiting a week to see how long it take to need cleaning.

When I received this bamboo water spout I was pleasantly surprised. It is much bigger than I pictured. Seems to be very sturdy and looks beautiful. I am using it for a pondless water feature. The only issue I have with it, (and it's not really a big deal for what I'm using it for) is that the pump is almost too weak to pump the water up to where it flows out. You end up getting a very small stream of water coming out. That is fine with me because I don't need a gush of water and if a person wanted more flow, they could use a more powerful pump. It is certainly worth the price for this because of it's beauty. I am happy with it.

I have installed this next to my waterfall, and it drips into the pond area. The size stated is accurate. After burying the bottom part of the bamboo post, you'll end up with approx 24-30" above ground. It makes a pleasing statement of simplicity and style.You'll get the bare and rough bamboo ground post, which is about 4 inches in diameter, an arm made of very smooth 1 1/2" bamboo that reaches almost two feet out from the post, and a bamboo pin to hold the two together in the pre-drilled holes. You cannot misalign the parts if you use the pin and holes. Assembly takes a couple seconds of alignment.A six foot piece of clear vinyl tubing is pre-installed through the ground post and arm, eliminating the need for the frustrating job of trying to drill the center of the post and arm and pulling the tube through yourself. Do not grab the arm and pull it away from the post when unwrapping. Doing so will pull the hose free, and then you get to re-thread it inside the bamboo.The pump is included, and has a rather short cord, so you will need to either get a waterproof extension cord and cover, or install this within a few feet of it's power source. I used a ten foot outdoor cord and covered the connection with one of the waterproof extension cord covers available on Amazon.I'm pleased with the purchase, but did remove one star because it came with no manual at all and no way to contact the manufacturer if the bamboo arrived split or the pump didn't work. A person handy with things can look at the online picture and figure it out, but a manual and warranty contact address for those that have never assembled anything like this would be an easy thing to include.
