Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Due to the significant weight of each figure (28 kg), it is recommended to have assistance when moving and positioning the ornament. Choose a stable, level surface for placement to ensure it sits securely and to prevent any risk of it tipping.

Compatibility: This ornament is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with a wide range of garden styles, from traditional cottage gardens to more contemporary settings looking for a touch of personality. It can be placed on lawns, patios, decking, or garden paths.

Care: The ornament is made from reconstituted stone/concrete and is waterproof and frost-proof. To maintain its appearance, gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these could damage the hand-finished details. For very harsh winters in extreme climates, consider covering the ornament or bringing it to a sheltered location, although it is designed for all-year-round outdoor use.
