Full details
The LV Bespoke Fun Snail is a whimsical garden sculpture designed for homeowners looking to add personality and artistic flair to their outdoor landscaping. Crafted to evolve with the seasons, this feature offers a unique aesthetic that transitions from raw steel to a natural, rustic patina over time; however, potential owners should note that the steel is supplied raw and will develop surface rust as it is exposed to the elements.

FAQs
Will the snail rust immediately upon arrival?
It is supplied in raw steel. Depending on the humidity in your area, it will begin to develop a rust patina shortly after being placed outdoors.
Can I paint the snail to stop it from rusting?
Yes, you can paint the item with an outdoor metal paint or primer, but ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.
Is this product suitable for indoor use?
While it can be used indoors, the raw steel finish is primarily intended for outdoor environments and may require sealing to prevent oxidation or transfer of steel dust.
How do I secure the snail to the ground?
The 3.0 kg weight is usually sufficient for level ground. In extremely windy areas, you may need to use landscape pins or an adhesive if placing it on a hardscape.
Are the marble eyes replaceable?
The eyes are a stylistic accent. While they are fitted for the design, they are not intended to be swapped out frequently.
Troubleshooting
The snail is staining my patio pavers.
Apply a clear outdoor sealant to the base of the sculpture or place it on a protective rubber mat to prevent iron oxide runoff.
I do not want the snail to rust further.
Thoroughly clean the surface, remove any existing rust with a wire brush, and apply multiple coats of a high-quality outdoor-rated clear lacquer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your snail, simply place it on a level surface in your desired outdoor location. Because the steel is supplied raw, if you wish to prevent rust or protect the surface underneath (such as a paved patio), you should apply a metal sealant or a clear-coat outdoor lacquer before initial placement. If you choose to allow the item to rust, be aware that runoff during heavy rain may temporarily stain light-colored stone or concrete. To clean, simply wipe with a dry cloth to remove debris; avoid using harsh chemicals that could interfere with the desired aging process of the steel.
