Are these ornaments suitable for outdoor use?

How much does each set weigh?

Each griffin and plinth set weighs approximately 92kg.

How will the item be delivered?

Due to their weight, they are delivered on a pallet. The delivery driver will not remove the item from the pallet or place it in your garden.

Troubleshooting

Item arrives damaged

Inspect the pallet and packaging upon delivery. If damage is present, document it with photos and contact customer service immediately.

Difficulty moving the ornament from the pallet

Arrange for sufficient help and appropriate lifting equipment (e.g., heavy-duty sack truck, pallet jack if accessible) beforehand. Assess the weight and plan the move carefully.

Plinth appears unstable

Ensure the ground beneath the plinth is perfectly level and firm. If the ground is uneven, consider using shims or re-levelling the area before placement.

Appearance dulls over time

Lightly brush with a soft brush to remove dust. For tougher marks, use a damp cloth. Avoid pressure washing or strong cleaning agents.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a striking, majestic, and classic aesthetic to gardens or properties.
  • Constructed from durable, weather-resistant reconstituted stone for longevity.
  • Detailed craftsmanship gives an authentic, aged sculpture appearance.
  • Suitable for permanent outdoor display in all seasons.
  • Comes as a complete set with griffin figures and matching plinths.

Cons

  • Extremely heavy (approx. 92kg per set), requiring careful handling and placement.
  • Delivery is restricted to pallet drop-off; the item will not be moved from the pallet by the driver.
  • Requires significant space due to the large dimensions of both the griffins and plinths.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Due to the significant weight of each griffin and plinth set (approximately 92kg), these items are delivered on a pallet. The delivery driver is only contracted to deliver the pallet to the kerbside or driveway. You will need adequate assistance and appropriate equipment (e.g., strong trolleys, manpower) to move the item from the pallet and to its final garden location. Ensure the ground where the plinth will be placed is level and stable to prevent tipping.

Compatibility: These ornaments are designed for outdoor use and are compatible with most garden settings, including lawns, patios, pathways, and entranceways. They are suitable for display in all weather conditions.

Care: The reconstituted stone/concrete material is inherently durable and weather-resistant. To maintain their appearance, occasionally brush off loose debris with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these could damage the aged finish. Ensure water does not pool around the base of the plinth during very wet periods to maintain stability.
