How to Measure a Water Fountain
Match the Drawing
Choose the style that has the same look as your fountain. You will find a drawing that shows the side you should measure on each order page.
Measure the Height
Measure from the ground to the highest point of the fountain, including the finial or top spout.
Measure the Widest Point
Measure across the widest part of the fountain, usually the bottom basin. You should measure the top tiers too if the drawing requires them.
Enter Exact Sizes
Enter your exact measurement. We will add extra inches when we make the cover for proper fit, meaning you don't have to add extra inches to the measurement.

Get Your Fountain Ready for Winter
Drain the Water
Drain all the water from the fountain to prevent freezing water from cracking the basins.

Store the pump indoors after you remove it. Then clean and dry the fountain basins.
Cover the Fountain
Use a custom cover to secure the top of the fountain; this way, rain and snow will stay out until spring.
Common Questions
How do I winterize my outdoor water fountain?
To winterize your outdoor water fountain, drain all the water, store the pump indoors after removing it, then dry and clean the basins. Cover the fountain with a waterproof cover to stop rain and snow from collecting in the bowls and freezing.
At what temperature will a fountain freeze?
Water freezes at 32°F (0°C). When the temperature reaches this point or drops lower, the remaining water in a fountain can start to freeze. Stone, concrete, and resin basins can start to crack as ice expands. We recommend that you drain and cover your fountain before the first hard freeze.
How to measure for a fountain cover?
To measure for a fountain cover, start by measuring the height from the ground to the top of the fountain and the width across its widest basin. You may also need to measure the upper tiers for some styles. Enter the exact measurement; we will add extra inches when making the covers to ensure proper fit.
What are some good water fountain covers for winter?
Some good water fountain covers for winter are heavy, waterproof vinyl covers specifically made to fit your fountain's shape. ALCO 18 oz vinyl covers come with a lifetime warranty, while the 12 oz vinyl covers have a 10-year warranty.
How to stop a fountain from freezing?
The most verified way to stop a fountain from freezing is to drain it before freezing weather. If you plan to run it in winter, keep the water moving and use a heater designed for fountains. However, if the fountain is not running, drain it, then cover it to keep snow and ice out.
What to do with a fountain in the winter?
In the winter, we recommend taking small fountains indoors. For large stone fountains, you can keep them outside. Therefore, drain the fountain, take out the pump, and cover them. Using a custom cover that guarantees proper fit keeps water, leaves, and snow out of the basins until spring.
We needed a complete set of covers for our bar patio furniture and we had a lot of different shapes and sizes to cover. We needed covers that would not look over-sized and sloppy so ALCO was the perfect solution. We could make the covers to our exact sizes and the quality of the material far exceeded what we expected. Thanks ALCO!!!!

It was hard finding custom covers and we looked all over to get covers that would fit our furniture. ALCO had just what we we were looking for and at a reasonable price. In the end the covers worked great and looked marvelous. The ordering process was smooth, it shipped on time, and they look great! Well worth the money!

We have purchased outdoor furniture covers from a retail store before. The stitching came apart shortly after installation. These covers are what we should have purchased from the get go! You get what you pay for and the ALCO cover is still working after years of use. We are back now for more covers for new furniture. Can't recommend them more!

We had a hard time finding a cover for our odd L-shaped sectional. ALCO made it easy to order and the quality is better than we expected. Could not recommend them more! The quality is much better than all the other fabric furniture covers you find online. This is the same material that is used on trucking tarps! Its Strong!
