Full details
The Christow Lily Leaf Garden Bird Bath is designed for bird enthusiasts and gardeners looking to attract local wildlife without the hassle of heavy stone ornaments.

While it is incredibly lightweight and easy to reposition, users should be prepared to fill the base with sand or gravel to prevent it from tipping during particularly high winds.

FAQs
Does this require any tools for assembly?
No, the bird bath features a simple screw-together design that requires no tools.
Can I leave this outside in the winter?
Yes, the polypropylene resin is weather-resistant, but we recommend emptying the water during freezing conditions to prevent ice damage.
What should I use to weight the base?
Sand or gravel are the most effective materials to fill the hollow base and pedestal.
How deep is the water bowl?
The bowl is 9cm deep, which is ideal for small to medium garden birds.
Is the material prone to fading?
The resin is designed to resist fading and cracking from UV exposure better than many other materials.
How heavy is it once filled?
The bird bath weighs approximately 4-5kg once filled with sand or gravel.
Troubleshooting
The bird bath feels wobbly or tips over easily.
Ensure the base and hollow pedestal are filled with sand or gravel to add weight and lower the center of gravity.
The unit moves on windy days.
Use the provided metal ground pegs to pin the base into the soil. If on a patio, consider placing the bath against a windbreak or adding additional weight to the base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward: simply screw the pedestal components together until they feel secure. Before fully tightening, ensure the internal cavity is accessible for your chosen ballast.
Maintenance Tips:
- Cleaning: Regularly empty and rinse the bowl to prevent algae buildup. Use a soft brush and mild soap if necessary.
- Placement: Position the bath at least a few feet away from dense bushes or trees where predators might hide, but ensure there is a tree or fence nearby for birds to retreat to if startled.
- Winter Care: In freezing conditions, consider emptying the bowl to prevent ice expansion from potentially damaging the resin surface.
