FAQs
What material is the swinging monkey made from?
The ornament is crafted from hard-wearing resin, which is known for its durability and resistance to weather elements.
Is this ornament suitable for outdoor use all year round?
Yes, it is designed to be waterproof and weatherproof, making it suitable for hanging outside in all seasons. However, for extreme conditions, bringing it indoors can prolong its life.
How do I hang the monkey ornament?
The ornament comes with a strong rope cord attached. You can hang it from a tree, garden hook, fence, or any suitable secure point.
What are the approximate dimensions of the ornament?
The monkey measures approximately H 31 x W 17cm, with a hanging rope length of approximately 53cm.
Can I paint over the ornament if I want to change its color?
While you could technically paint it, it is not recommended as it may void any durability guarantees and could interfere with the weatherproof coating. The hand-painted finish is designed to be a key feature.
How should I clean the ornament?
A gentle wipe with a damp cloth is usually sufficient to clean the ornament. Avoid using abrasive cleaning chemicals or tools.
Does the monkey actually swing?

Troubleshooting
Ornament not swinging freely
Ensure the rope is not tangled and that the monkey has adequate space to move. Check that the hanging point is stable and not causing the ornament to be restricted.
Fading of paintwork over time
While designed to be weatherproof, prolonged intense sun exposure can cause fading. For maximum color retention, consider repositioning the ornament to a slightly more shaded area or bringing it indoors during peak summer months.
Rope appears worn
Inspect the rope periodically. If significant wear is observed, consider replacing the rope with a durable, weather-resistant alternative to ensure continued secure hanging.
