FAQs

What material are the lion statues made from?

The statues are made from reconstituted stone, also known as concrete, which is a durable material for outdoor use.

Are these statues suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, they are manufactured to be weather and frost proof, making them suitable for year-round outdoor display in various climates.

How heavy are the lion statues?

Each statue weighs approximately 70 kg.

Can I place these statues on a lawn?

Yes, they can be placed on a lawn, but ensure the ground is firm and level to provide adequate support for their significant weight.

Will the statues look new forever?

No, these statues are designed to mature and weather naturally over time, developing a classic, aged appearance, which is part of their intended aesthetic.

Do I need to assemble the statues?

No assembly is required. The statues are supplied as complete units and are ready for placement upon arrival.

What are the dimensions of each statue?

Each statue measures 84 cm in height, 30 cm in width, and 20 cm in length.

Troubleshooting

Statue appears unstable.

Ensure the statue is placed on a completely level and firm surface. Check for any ground subsidence around the base. If necessary, consider adding a layer of gravel or a small concrete pad for added stability.

Moss or lichen growth is excessive.

Gently scrub the affected area with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. For stubborn growth, specific stone-safe cleaners may be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Color seems to be fading or changing.

This is a natural characteristic of stone weathering. The statues are designed to mature and change appearance over time. No action is typically required unless the change is due to damage from harsh chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances entranceways with a regal and classic look.
  • Durable construction made from reconstituted stone.
  • Weather and frost resistant for long-term outdoor use.
  • Adds a sense of history and grandeur to gardens and buildings.

Cons

  • Very heavy (70 kg each), requiring significant effort for placement.
  • Requires stable ground due to weight.
  • Natural weathering may alter appearance over time (though this is also a feature).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Due to their significant weight (70 kg each), these statues require careful placement. Ensure the ground is level and stable to prevent tipping. It is recommended to have at least two people for lifting and positioning to avoid injury.

Compatibility:

These statues are designed for outdoor use and are compatible with most garden and landscape settings. They are particularly suited for solid ground surfaces like lawns, patios, or driveways. They are not recommended for unstable or soft ground without additional support.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe away dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the stone finish.
  • Maintenance: The statues are designed to weather naturally. Over time, moss or lichen may begin to grow, which is often considered part of their charm and classic appeal. If you wish to remove it, a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush can be used, followed by rinsing.
  • Winter Care: While frost-proof, extreme prolonged frost could potentially affect older or heavily weathered statues. In areas with exceptionally harsh winters, covering them with a breathable material might offer additional protection, though generally, they are designed for year-round outdoor display.
