Kakehi Water Spouts
Kakehi Water Spouts
Mike Riddle, a retired Corvallis design/build landscape contractor who specialized in Japanese design (and who STILL does design and specialized pruning) makes these water spouts in his spare time. He uses wire on the copper styles to mimic the nodes on natural bamboo! These are built for longevity and the all copper designs should last a lifetime without any maintenance whatsoever.
Specifications
Standard sizes listed below with some variability. Heights can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the depth the spout is buried in the ground. Mike is no longer taking custom orders due to the popularity of the standard models.
They are easy to plumb using 1/2" flexible irrigation tubing from the pump. A 250 gph magnetic drive pump provides plenty of volume for these spouts. We stock a variety of "pondless" bubbler basins to make these features very easy to install and virtually bulletproof or you can use pond liner and an EcoBlock Water Displacement block directly below the basin and locating the pump in a hidden vault behind it, this type of pond-less water feature (pictured) takes up a very small amount of space and can be installed in a day on a DIY basis.
"All copper" with hammered top and heights can be adjusted on-site by varying the buried depth... NEW PRICING - COPPER COSTS HAVE SKYROCKETED!

My Kakehi spout...
The water spout arrived yesterday in good shape. I've been looking for the right water spout for more than a year. Thank you for all your help solving my dilemma. My compliments to Mike on his workmanship.
Thanks again.

our kakehi spout
Hi Steve, Just wanted to send a big 'thank you!' to you and especially Mike Riddle for the excellent Kakehi fountain spout. The spout arrived on Wednesday afternoon, August 3 and I had it up and running by about 9:00 the next morning, in time for my father-in-law's 80th bday party that weekend. We received a lot of compliments on the fountain and are very happy with the dimension it adds to our newly renovated yard. Thanks again, Ron Hipwell
