FAQs
What material are these fairy ornaments made from?
The ornaments are made from reconstituted stone, also known as concrete, which is durable and weather-proof for outdoor use.
How much does each fairy ornament weigh?
Each individual fairy ornament weighs approximately 45 kg.
Can I leave these ornaments outside all year round?
Yes, they are designed to be weather-proof and can be left outdoors year-round. However, in extremely harsh climates, applying a stone sealant annually can offer extra protection.
What are the dimensions of each fairy?
The dimensions vary: Fairy Sitting Up (HER5) is H 52 cm x W 32 cm x L 40 cm. Fairy Reclining (HER38) is H 52 cm x W 47 cm x L 35 cm. Fairy Lying (HER34) is H 41 cm x W 27 cm x L 50 cm.
How should I clean the ornaments?
Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. A soft brush can be used for stubborn dirt or minor algae growth.
Are these ornaments suitable for a small fairy garden?
Yes, they are perfect for fairy gardens and can create a charming, whimsical display. Their detailed design adds to the magical theme.
Do the fairies come as a single unit or separate pieces?
Each fairy sits on its own individual rock, so they are separate pieces that can be arranged as desired.
Troubleshooting
Ornaments appear to be tilting or unstable.
Ensure the ground surface is level and firm. If the ground has shifted, carefully reposition the ornament on a more stable base. Heavy weight requires a solid foundation.
Green algae or moss growth on the surface.
Gently scrub the affected area with a soft brush and clean water. For stubborn growth, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse. Ensure adequate sunlight and air circulation around the ornaments.
Surface chipping or minor damage.
For minor chips, a suitable stone repair compound or epoxy can be used. For significant damage, consider consulting a professional stone restorer. Handle with care to prevent future damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Choose a stable, level surface in your garden for each ornament. Due to their weight (45 kg each), ensure the ground can support them without sinking.
- Carefully place each fairy onto its chosen spot. It is recommended to have at least two people to move each ornament safely.
Compatibility:
- These ornaments are designed for outdoor garden use.
- They are compatible with various garden styles, from formal to cottage and whimsical themes.
- The natural brown stone colour blends well with natural surroundings.
Care:
- Clean the ornaments periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the stone finish.
- While weather-proof, prolonged exposure to extreme conditions (like heavy frost or constant dampness without drying) can eventually affect any outdoor material. Consider applying a stone sealant annually for extra protection, especially in harsh climates.
- Ensure no plants that retain excessive moisture are planted directly against the base of the ornaments to prevent long-term dampness.
