I would like to cover my well pipe with this wishing well -- is the center open to the ground?

If I understood your question,there is no bottom to the wishing well and it is hollow. The grass grows up thru the center.

Sorry for delay. Had to ask my friend, as it is in her yard. She said yes it is open on bottom to ground so you could definitely put it over something. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is. I put a concrete block in there and then sat a potted begonia on it to make it look like it was growing out of the ground... Very nice product and I love the way it looks!

Hi I bought it last fall and haven't assembled it yet because of the winters in New York. It's on my to do list in June. Sorry. :-/

It's not anchored down in any way. What I did that worked great was to fill the well with gravel after I placed it in the yard. I was careful to NOT put plastic under the gravel. If you bury the base, the soil will rot the wood. If you use plastic, the water will collect over the plastic and rot the wood.

I had the same issue on the exposed side of the Sheet Rock/Plasterboard, what I did was to go inside the wall and in my house it was 3/4 inch pipe and I plumbed it to 3/4 to the water heater. I am telling you what I did, I am not instructing you to modify your gas lines, Natural gas is explosive.

Yes, but because it is open, it doesn't appear that deep. I am glad we purchased it.

yes you could be off center about 6 " you would just have to add some drain pipe and make adjustments

Yes, there is no opening. You just drop it in the tank and walk away. I've had hard water/mineral trouble with my well water for twenty years...noticed a difference within a week. I won't be without them again! Even the OLD stains are fading.

The opening is large but, it has drawstrings that will narrow it. My next idea is to use a cheap, corrugated, plastic drain pipe attached to my hand blower-vac and the TerraKing Leaf Bag.

I assume by your question your well is shaped like the pictured cover and not a 52X30 rectangle. Either way the straight line end that goes against the house is 39", and the widest part of the arc is 19". So, I would say no, it would not fit. BTW, the dimensions are listed on the product page at the bottom under technical details

A downspout can be positioned into that open top, then I would suggest you cover around it with plastic or such. There is a perforated disk to enclose the top while letting in loose rain (with no downspout), or downpour from eaves - which is what I use it for. The disk doesn't quite fit tightly enough for me, so I added a circular screen wire on top of the disk (which eliminates more dirt droppings) and I duct taped the disk/wire around the top of the barrel to help hold it in place. The faucet works well; the whole container holds a lot of water. I have really enjoyed having 2 of these (where I have a lot of run-off from the roof) to help with watering during our extreme drought and water rationing for 2 summers. I plan to add gutter drops into them eventually. They are very stable and you can add a barrel/tub/trash can next to it under the "run-off" drain so that when the barrel is filled during a storm, you can still collect extra water.

There are no holes/openings in the bottom. I had to drill holes in it for drainage.

Part does not have pre-drilled holes in it. I believe the intent of the design is to bring drain tiling to the basin and pump it out from there. You would only need holes in the lower half of the basin if you are trying balance the ground water pressure and the basin. If you cement this the basin or physically hold it down (ie large rock on top)it wouldn't push up.

Yes. I used it in buried PVC pipes. It is supposed to be capable of direct burial but I wanted it protected.

No, the floor is open. It has extended sides so there is good coverage all the way to the ground and when we want a barrier on the floor we stake down a canvas.

Yes that is what it was intended for. You may want to get the collar and lid option (Like I did) that can be put on top of it to hide the pipes that come out of the top.

Depending on your hook up for your water lines you could have it right up against it as long as you can tighten the connections. I didn't measure specifically but I had maybe four or five inches between the center and my stud on the sides, I hooked it up with PEX lines tho so I could slide it back and forth to have the room to crimp the lines onto the adapters. I'm not a plumber so I can't speak for any code requirements or issues that might crop up.

There is one 1/2" drain hole in the center of container. It's access is somewhat difficult to get to unless you move the dirt to get to it. Best to keep this stand out of direct rain. Under overhang is helpful. Can easily overfill. Tip: leave it unpluged and place a saucer directly under the hole, on the lower shelf, to keep wet dirt from making an unwanted mess.

You could dig down. It comes with no stakes. I wanted to set it over my existing well head for the house, so I actually built up a base with pavers for the wishing well to sit on. I have not had a problem with it trying to blow away.
