Troubleshooting
Ornament appears unstable
Ensure the ornament is placed on a flat, level surface. If necessary, slightly embed the base into the soil for added stability, especially in windy areas.
Color fading over time
While designed to be weather-proof, prolonged direct sunlight can eventually affect finishes. Periodic cleaning with a mild soap and water solution can help restore its appearance. Consider a very light application of a stone sealer if fading becomes significant, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Water pooling in the trailer
Ensure adequate drainage. If the trailer does not have pre-drilled holes, add a layer of gravel or small stones at the bottom before adding soil and plants to aid drainage.
