My garden fountain was leaking at the bottom. I put it outside in the winter, maybe some ice caused the leak?

Ours did the same thing so I just had my husband drill more drain holes since its multi-level and put in succulents. They have done very well.

You can try GE Silicone 2,it works for most outdoor stuff.If that fails do what Patricia and i did,turn it into a succulent garden.I'd show you a picture,but i don't know how to post them here.

If you are able to find the source of the leak and it is small, the silicone caulk is a good fix. Then make sure to drain and cover the fountain before winter or put it in a shed, basement, garage, etc. If the leak is too big, a succulent garden is a good way to go.

You can purchase an epoxy based patch for concrete. Rustoleum makes one that is quite affordable.
