Product Information
Full details
The Fun Snail Garden Feature by LV Bespoke is a charming decorative element designed for homeowners looking to add a touch of whimsical character to their outdoor spaces. Its primary benefit is the unique, evolving aesthetic that transforms from a modern raw steel appearance into a rustic, weathered patina over time. While its design is robust and visually striking, users should be aware that the material is intended to oxidise, meaning it will develop a layer of surface rust as part of its natural design process when exposed to outdoor conditions.

FAQs
Will the rust stain my patio?
Yes, as the steel weathers, water runoff may carry iron oxide stains onto light-coloured patios. It is recommended to place it on gravel, soil, or a dark-coloured paver.
Can I prevent it from rusting?
While it is designed to rust, you can slow or stop the process by applying a high-quality, clear-coat outdoor metal sealant.
What are the dimensions?
The snail measures 48cm in height, 10cm in width, and 26cm in depth.
Is the red colour permanent?
The vibrant red finish is an applied coating, while the body itself is raw steel that will patina. The coloured accents should remain visible as the body rusts.
Does it require maintenance?
Very little maintenance is required. Simply wipe away debris occasionally if desired, or let it weather naturally.
Is the marble eye colour the same on all units?
The marble eye colours are a customisable feature; please verify the specific unit details for your chosen colour.
Troubleshooting
The steel is turning orange or brown.
This is expected behavior. The raw steel is designed to oxidise and develop a natural rustic patina.
The marble eyes appear loose after extreme temperature changes.
Check if the sealant or adhesive needs a light touch-up with an outdoor-rated epoxy if the eyes feel wobbly.
The snail is tipping over in high winds.
Ensure it is placed on a level surface. For additional stability, you can use landscaping adhesive to secure the base to a heavy paving stone.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Fun Snail is straightforward; simply unpack the item and place it in your chosen location. No assembly or additional hardware is required. Regarding compatibility, this piece suits a wide variety of garden themes, from modern minimalist landscapes to traditional cottage gardens. Care is minimal due to the nature of the material. As it is designed to weather, you do not need to apply anti-rust coatings. If you prefer to stop the oxidation process once it reaches your desired look, you may apply a clear outdoor-grade metal sealer, though this is optional. During extreme winter conditions, some users prefer to bring decorative items inside to prevent frost damage to the marble accents.
