GARDEN DESIGN
Step 1
THE HIDE GARDEN
The OASE Copper Bowl range has captured the imagination of both designers and landscapers throughout 2022 . A focal point of RHS Malvern ’ s “ best in show ” winner : The Hide Garden , this project is testament of the bowl ’ s beauty and ability to work in any space it is placed in .
What you will need :
Large Round Copper Bowl 90 ( 84169 ) Water Reservoir 120 ( 72936 ) Spiral Hose 1 ½ ” ( 37178 ) Eco-Rise 30 ( 87091 ) Fountain Ring LED ( 88264 ) Aquarius Universal Premium 6000 ( 56637 )
Step 1 : Decide where to place the bowl . Be aware of the position of your power source , which is required for running the pump and light ( two sockets needed ). Place the reservoir and mark out the area you need to excavate ( see step 1 image ). Once the hole is ready , level the ground to ensure the water will flow evenly over the edge of the bowl . Put the reservoir in the hole and backfill any space with soil .
Step 2 : Place the pump within the pump chamber opening . Route the power cable to prevent damage . It is important to check the level to prevent future balance problems . Once you are happy with both the pump and reservoir , you may move on to assembling the bowl .

Step 3 : Remove the bowl from the packaging using the supplied gloves . Connect the hose tail to the bottom of the bowl and fasten with the provided elbow and then secure the hose with a jubilee clip . Fasten the feed pipe to the bottom connector . Place the LED light ring around the inlet within the bowl and use the rubber bung to keep secure . Finally , thread the power supply cable through the middle of the cable transition .

Step 4 : Place the Eco-Rise on the centre of the reservoir and place the bowl on top . Attach the hose from the bowl to the pump . Fill the reservoir with water and turn on the pump . Water should be pumped through the bowl ’ s middle . To finish , decorate the top of the reservoir with elements such as pebbles , stones , or gravel .
