Troubleshooting

Ornament seems unstable.

Ensure the ground is level and firm. If the ground is uneven, consider placing a flat stone or paver beneath the ornament's base for added stability.

Surface appears dirty or has minor marks.

Gently wipe the surface with a damp, soft cloth. For stubborn marks, use mild soap and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

Color seems slightly faded after long exposure.

While designed for outdoor use, prolonged direct sunlight can cause natural fading over time. This is normal wear. Consider repositioning the ornament to a spot with partial shade if significant fading is a concern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These ornaments require no assembly. Simply unbox and place them in your desired outdoor location. Due to their individual 10 kg weight, ensure the ground surface is stable and level before positioning to prevent any risk of tipping.

Compatibility:

Compatible with all outdoor garden environments including lawns, patios, balconies, and decking. They are designed to be freestanding.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the ornaments periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the finish.

  • Handling: Lift each ornament by its base to move it. Avoid dragging to prevent scratching the surface or damaging the finish. Ensure a firm grip due to their weight.
