SERPENTINE SLATE COLUMN
The Water Zigzags Sideways, Not Straight Down
Stack seven ledges in a line and the water falls in a line. Offset each one to the opposite side of the one below and the water has to cross the column on every step, left, right, left, and what you get is a serpentine path down forty eight inches instead of a straight drop.
That does two things. It makes the fall longer than the height of the piece, since the water travels sideways as well as down, and it gives you seven separate visible changes of direction rather than seven identical drops. From the front you read a zigzag. From the side you read the depth of the offsets.
The ledges are cast in stacked slate texture, the layered look of a split shale face, with a lit basin under each one. Twenty three inches long and sixteen deep, which is enough footprint for a forty eight inch piece to hold together as a formation rather than looking like a narrow post.
What You Get With This Slate Column Fountain
-
01
Lateral zigzag, not a straight drop.
Each ledge is offset to the opposite side of the one below, so the water crosses the column on every step. The path it travels is longer than the piece is tall.
-
02
Seven visible changes of direction.
Seven identical drops down a line get repetitive. Seven that alternate left and right keep giving you something to follow, which is most of why people watch a fountain rather than just listen to it.
-
03
Lit at every basin.
Light under each of the seven ledges, so after dark the zigzag is picked out step by step and the slate goes dark around it.
-
04
Twenty three by sixteen inches at the base.
Enough footprint that a forty eight inch piece reads as a rock formation, and enough depth that it holds up from the side.
The zigzag is a front on effect, so give it a viewing position. The end of a path, a corner of a patio, or against a border where you pass it and look at it rather than walk around it. It wants twenty three by sixteen inches of level ground, and level matters here, because offset ledges show a tilt as the water starting to favor one side of the zigzag. Something dark behind it makes the lit basins read better after dark.
