Full details

Enhance your outdoor space with this elegant pair of verdigris-effect crane garden stakes. Ideal for garden enthusiasts seeking to add a touch of tranquility and sculptural interest to their lawns, patios, or pond edges, these 100cm tall cranes offer an easy way to introduce height and artistic flair. A slight caveat is that the verdigris effect is a finish, designed to emulate age, rather than actual aged material. Key features include their impressive height, dual different poses, integrated ground stakes for simple placement, and a rustic, aged patina that blends seamlessly with natural environments.

FAQs

What are the dimensions of each crane?

Each crane stands at H100 x W32 x D3cm.

Do these cranes come as a set?

Yes, they come as a pair, with each crane in a different pose.

What does 'verdigris-effect' mean?

This refers to the finish applied to the ornaments, designed to mimic the appearance of aged copper or bronze that has naturally oxidized. It is a decorative finish.

Can these ornaments be used indoors?

While primarily designed for outdoor garden use, they could be used indoors as decorative pieces if placed on a stable surface. However, their intended use is for gardens.

How should I clean the ornaments?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the finish.

Are the stakes detachable?

The ground stakes are integrated into the design for stability and ease of placement; they are not designed to be detached.

Will the finish rust?

The verdigris effect is a finish designed to look aged. It is typically applied over a material that resists rust, but prolonged exposure to harsh elements could eventually affect any painted finish.

Troubleshooting

Crane is unstable after placement

Ensure the ground stakes are fully inserted. If the ground is very soft, consider using additional support or a more stable location.

Finish appears to be fading or changing unevenly

The verdigris effect is a painted finish. Minor variations are normal. If significant fading occurs, consider cleaning and reapplying a compatible outdoor sealant or paint suitable for metal garden ornaments.

Obstruction preventing stake insertion

Gently clear any rocks or roots from the insertion point before pushing the stake further into the ground.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds significant visual height and interest to garden spaces.
  • The verdigris-effect finish provides an attractive, aged look.
  • Easy to install with integrated ground stakes.
  • Comes as a pair with distinct poses for a more natural display.
  • Suitable for various outdoor locations like lawns, patios, or pond edges.

Cons

  • The verdigris effect is a finish, not naturally aged material.
  • Height may be too imposing for very small garden areas.
  • Requires stable ground for secure placement.
  • May require occasional cleaning to maintain appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your Gainsborough Garden Ornaments, simply choose your desired location in your garden. Ensure the ground is firm enough to support the stakes. Gently push the integrated ground stakes into the soil until the cranes are stable and upright. The different poses allow for flexible arrangement, whether placed close together or further apart.

Compatibility: These ornaments are designed for outdoor use in gardens, patios, balconies, and around pond areas. They are compatible with most soil types, lawns, and borders.

Care: To maintain their appearance, periodically wipe the cranes with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the verdigris-effect finish. While designed for outdoor durability, extreme weather conditions may affect the finish over prolonged periods.
