Product Information
Full details
The Rackhams English Oak Design Stone Cast Bird Bath is designed for garden enthusiasts and nature lovers who want to combine functionality with decorative elegance. Its primary benefit is providing a stable, durable water source for local wildlife that doubles as an eye-catching focal point for your lawn or patio; however, due to its substantial 50 kg weight, it is best placed in a permanent location as it is difficult to move frequently.

FAQs
Does this product require assembly?
No, the bird bath arrives as a solid, single-piece unit ready for placement.
Can this be left outside during winter?
Yes, it is designed for all year-round outdoor use, though draining the water during severe frost is recommended.
Why does my bird bath look slightly different from the product photo?
Each piece is hand-finished with an antique effect, and the handcrafted nature means slight variations in color and texture are normal.
How do I move such a heavy item?
Due to the 50 kg weight, it is highly recommended to use a heavy-duty dolly or enlist two-person assistance to move it safely.
Is it safe for all bird species?
Yes, the depth and texture are designed to be accessible and safe for a wide variety of garden birds.
Should I seal the stone with a product?
The stone is durable and weather-resistant as-is. You do not need to apply external sealants.
Troubleshooting
Algae growth in the water basin
Empty the basin and scrub the surface with a soft brush and plain water. Avoid chemical cleaners.
Water appears cloudy or dirty quickly
Birds may carry dirt or leaves into the bath; rinse the basin daily or every two days to keep water fresh.
The bird bath feels wobbly on uneven ground
Adjust the ground surface beneath the base by adding a level paving stone or compacting the soil to ensure a flat foundation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup requires careful planning due to the 50 kg weight; it is recommended to have two people assist with positioning. Ensure the chosen site is perfectly level to prevent water from spilling unevenly. For maintenance, simply empty the water basin regularly to prevent algae buildup and gently scrub with a soft brush and water when needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washers that might damage the hand-finished surface. During extreme frost, some users choose to drain the bowl to prevent potential cracking from frozen standing water.
