FAQs

Does this sundial work in cloudy weather?

No, the sundial requires direct sunlight to cast a shadow and function as a timepiece.

Is the sundial frost-proof?

While slate is a durable stone, extreme cycles of freezing and thawing can cause natural stone to crack. It is best to protect it during harsh winter months.

Can I leave this outside all year round?

Yes, it is designed for outdoor use; however, covering it or bringing it in during severe weather will help preserve its appearance.

Is the sundial exactly the same as the product image?

Because it is made of natural slate, every piece has unique color and texture variations, meaning yours will be slightly different from the promotional imagery.

How do I align it to north?

Use a standard compass to find north, then orient the 12 o'clock marking on the dial to face that direction.

Troubleshooting

The time on the sundial does not match my watch.

Ensure the 12 o'clock line is perfectly aligned to true north and that the surface is level.

The sundial is covered in garden debris.

Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to gently remove moss or leaves to keep the markings visible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, natural slate material
  • Each unit features a unique texture and color variation
  • No batteries or maintenance required
  • Compact size fits versatile placement options
  • Elegant traditional aesthetic

Cons

  • Functionality is limited to sunny daylight hours
  • Requires precise north-south alignment for accuracy
  • Slate can be heavy and prone to chipping if dropped

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: choose a level, sun-exposed location. We recommend placing the sundial on a stone plinth or a sturdy garden table to elevate it for better visibility. Because the product is made of natural slate, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. To clean, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove debris or dust. If the slate appears dull over time, you can lightly wipe it with a small amount of mineral oil to restore its natural luster, though this is optional. In extreme winter conditions, some users prefer to store the sundial indoors to prevent moisture from freezing within the natural fissures of the stone, ensuring the longevity of the carving.
