Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Due to its weight, careful planning is advised for placement. Ensure the chosen location is level and firm to maximize stability. Lift with appropriate assistance if needed.
Compatibility:
This plinth is specifically designed for statuary with a base measuring 26 x 26 cm or less. It is highly compatible with heavy materials such as stone, concrete, and metal.
Care:
Maintaining the plinth is straightforward due to its durable construction:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the hand-finished surface.

- Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage, particularly if the plinth is in a high-traffic area or exposed to harsh elements.
