FAQs

What material is the bird bath made from?

The bird bath is constructed from reconstituted stone, also known as concrete, which is known for its durability in outdoor environments.

How do I assemble the bird bath set?

Assembly is straightforward. The two parts connect easily using a locating pin. For added security, a silicone adhesive or sealant is recommended.

What are the dimensions of each bird bath?

Each bird bath in the set has a height of 62 cm, a width of 23 cm, and a length of 31 cm.

How much does the bird bath set weigh?

Each part of the bird bath set weighs approximately 30 kg.

Is this bird bath suitable for gardens with children or pets?

Yes, the solid and heavy construction makes it stable. For added safety, securing the two parts with silicone adhesive is advised.

How should I clean the bird bath?

Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. A natural patina may develop over time, adding to its charm.

Is the bird bath frost-proof?

While made of durable reconstituted stone, it's advisable to empty the bird bath during freezing temperatures to prevent potential damage from frost.

Where is this bird bath manufactured?

This bird bath set is manufactured in the UK using traditional craftsmanship.

Troubleshooting

Bird bath feels unstable after assembly

Ensure the locating pin is fully engaged. For added security, use silicone adhesive or sealant to permanently fix the top bowl to the base as recommended.

Finish appears to be fading or changing

This is often a natural patina developing on reconstituted stone. If significant fading occurs, consider using a stone sealant suitable for decorative items. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.

Water is not holding in the basin

Check for any hairline cracks. If minor, a waterproof sealant can be applied to the inside of the basin. Ensure the basin is level.

Difficult to move due to weight

Plan the placement carefully before assembly. If repositioning is needed, seek assistance to lift and move the assembled or individual parts to avoid injury or damage.

  2. Align the locating pin on the base with the corresponding hole on the upper bird bath section.
  3. Gently press the two parts together until they are securely seated.
