Troubleshooting
Bench or birdbath appears unstable.
Ensure the unit is placed on a completely level and firm surface. If the ground is uneven, consider leveling the area or using shims to stabilize the item.
Water in birdbath is not staying clean.
Regularly empty and refill the birdbath. If algae growth is persistent, a gentle scrub with a non-abrasive brush and mild soap can help. Avoid harsh chemicals that could harm wildlife.
Surface of the concrete shows minor chips or wear.
These are normal signs of aging for concrete products exposed to the elements. For minor cosmetic imperfections, a concrete repair compound can be used.
Difficulty moving the heavy components.
Always use at least two people for lifting. Consider using furniture dollies or sliders to help move the items across flat surfaces before final placement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Due to the significant weight of both the bench (140 kg) and the birdbath (30 kg), it is recommended to have at least two people for lifting and positioning. Ensure the chosen location is a flat, stable, and level surface to prevent tipping and ensure maximum stability.
Compatibility:
This set is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with most garden environments, including lawns, patios, and gravel areas. No electrical components are involved, making it universally suitable for outdoor placement.
Care:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down both the bench and the birdbath. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the surface.
- Staining: Minor stains can often be removed with a mild soap and water solution. For tougher stains, a specialized concrete cleaner may be used cautiously, following the product's instructions.
- Winter Care: While the materials are durable, consider emptying the birdbath and covering the set during harsh winter months to prevent potential damage from freezing water or ice accumulation.
- Annual Check: Periodically inspect the set for any signs of wear or damage, particularly around the base of the bench and the birdbath's basin.
