Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Place the bird bath on a firm, level surface in your garden. Ensure the ground is stable to prevent tipping, especially when the basin is filled with water. Due to its 5 kg weight, avoid placing it on unstable ground or delicate surfaces.
Compatibility: This bird bath is designed for outdoor use in gardens, patios, or balconies. It is compatible with most garden environments and can be used with fresh water. Avoid placing it in areas prone to extreme temperature fluctuations that could exceed its frost-proof capabilities over extended periods.
Care: To maintain its appearance and hygiene, clean the bird bath regularly. Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove algae, debris, and bird droppings. Mild soap and water can be used for tougher stains, but rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the stonecast finish. During winter, if ice forms, empty the basin to prevent potential damage from expansion.
