Full details
The Blakeway Elegant Tall Birdbath is designed for bird enthusiasts and garden hobbyists who want to combine classic aesthetics with reliable functionality. Hand-crafted in Somerset, UK, this sandstone-style birdbath provides a sturdy, elevated station for local wildlife to bathe and drink. While its substantial 35 kg weight ensures excellent stability against high winds, potential buyers should note that the base is not included, and the heavy-duty two-part construction requires careful handling during assembly.

How much does the birdbath weigh?
The birdbath has a total weight of 35 kg.
Is it safe to leave outside in the winter?
Yes, it is weather and frost-proof, though it is recommended to keep the basin free of standing water to prevent ice damage.

Where is this product made?

How do I secure the two parts together?

Troubleshooting
The birdbath feels wobbly after assembly.
Check if the surface underneath is level. If not, use stone shims under the base to ensure the pedestal is perfectly vertical.
Water appears to be leaking from the basin.
Check the interior lining for debris that might be creating a siphon effect, or ensure the unit is perfectly level so water does not overflow unevenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Placement: Choose a flat, stable surface. Because the base is not included, ensure the ground is level to prevent the pedestal from leaning.
- Assembly: Align the locating pin on the pedestal with the corresponding hole on the underside of the bowl. Gently lower the bowl until it sits flush against the pedestal.
- Compatibility: This item is designed as a standalone feature. While it is heavy, you may consider adding a small amount of exterior-grade adhesive if placing it in high-traffic areas where it might be bumped.
- Care: Clean the bowl using a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid abrasive chemicals that might compromise the waterproof lining. During severe frost, ensure the bowl is clear of standing water to prevent ice-expansion damage, despite the frost-proof rating.
