I'm still looking for ideas so I'm going to bump this thread.

I'm not sure what I was originally thinking, but that 2" beaded foam is $22 a sheet. I need 8 sheets and that = too much.

SOoooo, I'm back to the drawing board. My thoughts: Piece of plywood cut in half (to make 2 4x4 ft sections). 2x2's secured vertically around (round cage)... that's about where I'm at to make the foundation to this fountain... my biggest problem is how I can make the stone.

There is a product at Lowes - it's foam, but it's super thing foam padding used in window sills and such. The reason I thought of it is because it's flexible and can wrap around the foundation without breaking (unlike the 'normal' insulation foam sheets). However, it's only a 1/4" thick (or so). How do I carve/make that to look like rectangle stone?

OR - any other ideas, tips, thoughts would be helpful.
