FAQs
Can this birdbath stay outside in the winter?
Yes, it is designed for outdoor use. However, emptying the water during freezing conditions is recommended to prevent ice expansion.
Does it come with adhesive?
No, you will need to purchase a standard exterior-grade silicone adhesive or sealant separately for permanent fixing.
How do I clean the sandstone finish?
Use a soft brush and clean water. Avoid high-pressure washers, which may erode the material surface.
Is the bowl deep enough for larger birds?
The bowl is designed for standard garden bird species; it provides a sufficient landing area for both small and medium-sized birds.
Where is the birdbath manufactured?
Every piece is hand-crafted in Somerset, United Kingdom.
Will the white colour change over time?
As a natural material, the sandstone may develop a light, natural patina or age-related weathering that enhances its character.
Troubleshooting
Bowl feels unstable on the base
Ensure the locating pin is fully seated and apply silicone adhesive between the two sections for a permanent bond.
Water draining from the bowl too quickly
Inspect the waterproof lining for physical tears and ensure the basin is set perfectly level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble the birdbath, place the pedestal on a level, stable foundation before inserting the locating pin to secure the square bowl. While the pin provides stability, it is strongly recommended to use a high-quality silicone adhesive or outdoor sealant between the bowl and the pedestal base, especially if the birdbath is located in areas frequented by children or pets. For maintenance, simply use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove algae or debris from the basin. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the sandstone finish. During extreme freezing weather, consider draining the bowl to prevent potential expansion damage, although the durable sand-compressed material is designed for outdoor resilience.
