FAQs
Does the sundial require assembly?
The unit arrives as a sturdy, finished piece and does not require assembly, though it should be handled with care due to its 40 kg weight.
Is it truly frost-proof?
Yes, it is designed to be frost-proof and weather-resistant for year-round outdoor use.
Will the color stay exactly the same?
Natural factors and environmental exposure will cause slight color variations over time, which is normal for this material.
Can I use it as a reliable clock?
It is intended primarily as an ornamental garden feature, and while it tracks the sun, it may not provide 100% accurate timekeeping.
What are the dimensions?
The sundial is 61 cm in height, with a base of 38 cm and a top diameter of 34 cm.
Troubleshooting
The sundial feels unstable or wobbly
Ensure the base is placed on a perfectly level, solid surface; add a thin layer of sand or stone dust under the base if the ground is uneven.
Surface appears dirty or dull
Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which may react with the sandstone material.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptionally heavy and stable due to 40 kg weight
- Frost-proof material ensures longevity in cold climates
- Beautiful hand-crafted finish made in the UK
- Easy to clean thanks to the integrated waterproof lining
Cons
- Timekeeping may not be 100% accurate
- Natural color variation can occur over time due to weather
- Significant weight makes it difficult to reposition frequently
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Due to its 40 kg weight, it is recommended that two people assist in positioning the unit to ensure it is centered on its 38 cm base.
Compatibility: The beige colorway and 61 cm height make it suitable for a variety of garden beds, patio corners, or entryways.
Care:
- Clean the surface periodically with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust or garden debris.
- Avoid using high-pressure washers, which could damage the hand-crafted sandstone texture.
- Because it is a natural material, slight color changes over time are normal and should be expected as part of the natural aging process of garden masonry.
