FAQs

What material is the garden set made from?

The set is made from reconstituted stone, commonly known as concrete, cast into shape.

Is the set suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, the product is designed for all-year-round outdoor use and is weather-resistant.

How heavy is the set?

The bench weighs 130 kg and the birdbath weighs 60 kg.

Does the set require assembly?

No, the set comes ready to be placed in your garden; no assembly is needed.

How should I clean the birdbath and bench?

Clean with a damp cloth or soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners. A mild soap solution can be used for tougher marks, followed by rinsing.

Will the color fade over time?

The coloring is designed to be durable for outdoor use, but like all natural materials exposed to sunlight, some gradual change may occur over many years.

Can I leave the birdbath full of water in winter?

It is not recommended to leave the birdbath full of water during freezing temperatures, as the expanding ice can cause damage. Empty it before frost.

Troubleshooting

Birdbath water freezes in winter.

Empty the birdbath completely before freezing temperatures arrive. Consider a birdbath heater for continuous use in colder climates.

Bench feels unstable.

Ensure the bench is placed on a completely level and firm surface. Re-evaluate the ground for any softness or unevenness and adjust placement accordingly.

Surface has a slight crack or chip.

Minor imperfections can occur with stone cast items. For small chips, a concrete repair compound can be used. Avoid dropping or impacting the items.

Birdbath appears to be draining faster than usual.

Check the birdbath bowl for any hairline cracks or imperfections in the sealing. Ensure the water level is maintained appropriately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  2. Assembly: The set arrives ready to use; no assembly is required.
  3. Birdbath Water: Fill the birdbath bowl with fresh water, ensuring it is not overfilled to prevent spillage onto the base.

Compatibility:

  • Location: Compatible with all types of outdoor gardens, patios, and lawns. Ensure the ground is firm enough to support the weight.
  • Environment: Suitable for all seasons and weather conditions.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the surfaces with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
  • Maintenance: For prolonged life, especially in freezing conditions, it is advisable to empty the birdbath and cover it or bring it indoors if possible, although the material is designed for all-year-round use.
  • Moss/Algae: If moss or algae growth occurs, gently scrub with a mild soap solution and water, then rinse thoroughly.
