Troubleshooting

Statues feel unstable

Ensure the statues are placed on a perfectly level and solid surface. If placed on grass, consider a small paving slab beneath each statue for added stability.

Surface discoloration or moss growth

Gently clean the affected area with a soft brush and water. For stubborn moss, a mild, stone-safe cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a rinse. Ensure good air circulation around the statues.

Cracks appear over time

While made of durable stone, extreme temperature fluctuations can sometimes cause minor surface crazing. Inspect for significant structural cracks. Minor imperfections are part of the stone's character. For significant cracks, consult the retailer for potential repair advice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Due to their considerable weight (30 kg each), these statues require careful placement on a level and stable surface. Ensure the ground or platform is firm to prevent any shifting or tipping. It is recommended to position them once in their final location.

Compatibility: These statues are designed for outdoor use and are compatible with most garden settings, including lawns, patios, balconies, and porches. They complement traditional garden aesthetics and can be paired with other stone ornaments, planters, or water features.

Care: To maintain their appearance, it is advisable to clean the statues periodically. Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove any dust, dirt, or moss that may accumulate. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials, as these could damage the detailed finish. While they are weather-proof and frost-proof, in extreme climates with prolonged harsh freezing temperatures, consider placing them in a more sheltered location to ensure maximum longevity.
