This substantial design combines a 65โ70cm natural basalt slab with a matching solid-stone plinth and a warm Corten steel base, creating a distinctive focal point for patios, terraces and landscaped gardens.
Water bubbles gently from the centre of the polished basalt before spreading across the broad surface and cascading over its naturally rugged edges. The raised plinth increases the visible water drop, while the Corten surround gives the installation a strong architectural foundation.
Unlike the standard buried Miren installation, the complete reservoir remains above ground inside the Corten steel surround. This allows the feature to be installed on a suitable hard surface without excavating the patio or garden.
This version retains the natural stone character and water effect of the Large Miren while turning the reservoir itself into part of the finished design.
The 90cm pebble pool remains completely above ground inside the Corten surround, removing the need to excavate for a buried reservoir.
A substantial slab of genuine basalt provides enough scale to create a strong focal point on larger patios and landscaped terraces.
Dark wet basalt contrasts against the warm rust, orange and brown tones of naturally weathering Corten steel.
Water bubbles onto the centre of the polished basalt before spreading across the broad natural stone surface.
As it reaches the irregular outer edge, the flow separates into individual cascades. The solid basalt plinth raises the slab above the pebble area, increasing the distance the water falls and making those streams more visible.
Combined with the approximately 40cm-high Corten base, the natural stone sits much higher than on a conventional buried installation, bringing the water effect closer to eye level.
The standard Large Miren uses a reservoir buried beneath the finished garden surface. This patio version takes a different approach.
The heavy-duty 90cm pebble pool sits entirely above ground and is concealed inside the decorative Corten steel surround. A galvanised support grid sits above the reservoir and carries the substantial basalt plinth and slab.
Water simply falls through the decorative pebble area and grid before returning to the reservoir underneath.
Particularly useful for existing patios, terraces and other suitable hard-landscaped areas where cutting into paving or excavating a reservoir would be undesirable.
The complete water system sits above ground. The feature should be installed on a firm, completely level and suitably load-bearing surface.
Select a firm, completely level and suitably load-bearing location with access to an appropriate outdoor electrical supply.
Place the supplied 90cm heavy-duty pebble pool securely within the Corten steel reservoir surround.
Position the recirculating pump inside the reservoir and connect the water pipe through the drilled basalt plinth.
Position the heavy-duty galvanised steel grid securely over the reservoir.
Carefully place the basalt plinth and large slab centrally over the supported area.
Position the supplied LED light to illuminate the bubbling and cascading water.
Add decorative pebbles over the visible grid while retaining access through the maintenance hatch.
Fill the reservoir and switch on the pump. Water circulates continuously through the feature and back into the reservoir below.
Although the finished base appears to be a large Corten container, the structural water reservoir itself is a heavy-duty plastic pebble pool.
This provides a dependable watertight reservoir while allowing the Corten surround to concentrate on what it does best: transforming the functional base into part of the design.
Decorative pebbles can be added over the support grid around the basalt plinth, allowing you to personalise the finished appearance while concealing the functional components beneath.
The combination of genuine basalt and Corten steel gives this Miren a distinctly different character from the all-stone in-ground version.
When dry, the stone displays softer grey, charcoal and brown tones. Once wet, the basalt becomes considerably darker and richer, emphasising its natural markings and rugged edge.
The weathering-steel surround develops a protective rust-coloured patina outdoors, creating changing tones of orange, rust and deep brown as the surface matures.
With an overall footprint of approximately 95cm and an installed height of around 56cm, this is considerably more architectural than a conventional low-level babbling stone.
The raised position brings the basalt and moving water higher within the garden, making the feature easier to appreciate from nearby seating areas and from inside the home.
Its broad natural stone top softens the strong geometry of the Corten base, allowing the feature to work within both contemporary and naturalistic garden schemes.
Moving water darkens the basalt and creates changing reflections across its polished surface, contrasting against the warm, weathered tones of the Corten base.
The supplied LED light illuminates the bubbling and cascading water, bringing another dimension to the natural stone and steel combination for evening enjoyment.
Choose this version if you want a complete above-ground installation, greater overall height and the architectural contrast of natural basalt against weathered Corten steel.
Choose the buried version if you prefer the reservoir to disappear completely below ground, leaving only the natural basalt and decorative pebbles visible.
Explore the complete Aqua Moda Miren collection, including patio-ready Corten combinations, raised slab fountains, smooth babbling stones, carved ripple designs, natural boulders and larger statement pieces.
Our water feature specialists can help you decide whether the patio-ready or in-ground Miren is best for your space, as well as advise on positioning, installation, decorative stone and surrounding garden design.
