FAQs
Can I leave the bird bath out in the winter?
Yes, the product is frost-proof and suitable for year-round outdoor use.
How do I assemble the two pieces?
We recommend using a strong outdoor silicone adhesive to fix the bowl to the pedestal for safety.
Is the color uniform on every unit?
No. Due to the handcrafted process using natural sand, each piece will feature unique variations in color and texture.
How heavy is the bird bath?
The total weight is 40kg, which provides a solid, stable base for outdoor environments.
What is the best way to clean the sandstone surface?
Use a soft brush and plain water. Avoid pressure washers or harsh chemical detergents.
Troubleshooting
Bowl feels unstable on the pedestal
Apply a generous bead of exterior-grade silicone adhesive between the pedestal and the bowl interface.
Water level dropping too quickly
Check the interior lining for signs of physical cracking and reseal with a waterproof masonry-compatible sealant.
Algae growth in the basin
Clean the bowl regularly with a soft bristle brush and refresh the water every 2-3 days.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Due to the narrow pedestal design, stability is paramount. Always place the unit on a flat, level surface to prevent wobbling. We strongly recommend using a high-quality outdoor-grade silicone adhesive to bond the bowl to the pedestal during assembly, as this provides essential security against accidental knocks. Maintenance is minimal: simply clear debris such as leaves or twigs weekly. During freezing temperatures, ensure the basin is not filled to the brim to prevent ice expansion from stressing the material. In instances of heavy algae buildup, scrub the bowl gently with a soft brush and clean water; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could harm visiting birds.
