FAQs

What material is the birdbath made from?

The birdbath is made from reconstituted stone, also known as concrete.

How heavy is the birdbath?

The birdbath weighs approximately 60 kg.

Can I use a pressure washer to clean it?

It is not recommended to use a pressure washer, as it can damage the finish and the reconstituted stone material. Gentle cleaning with a soft brush and water is advised.

Is assembly required?

Yes, some assembly is required to connect the pedestal and place the basin. Instructions on securing the basin for safety are also provided.

How do I make it safer for children and pets?

For enhanced safety, we suggest using silicone adhesive or sealant to fix the basin to the base after assembly, in addition to the locating pin.

Will the birdbath withstand frost?

Reconstituted stone can be susceptible to frost damage if water freezes within it. It is best to empty the basin during winter or protect it from harsh frost.

Where is this birdbath manufactured?

This birdbath is manufactured in the UK using traditional craftsmanship.

Troubleshooting

Birdbath appears unstable

Ensure the birdbath is placed on a level and firm surface. For added security, use silicone adhesive or sealant to fix the basin to the base after assembly.

Algae or debris buildup in the basin

Clean the basin regularly with a soft brush and clean water. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Minor cracks appear due to frost

Empty the basin completely during winter months to prevent freezing. For significant cracks, consult with a stone repair specialist.

Birdbath finish looks dull

Gently clean the surface with water and a soft cloth. Consider applying a stone sealer appropriate for garden ornaments if the finish needs refreshing.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable construction using reconstituted stone ensures long-lasting use.
  • Attracts a variety of garden wildlife by providing a water source.
  • Hand-finished quality and traditional UK manufacturing add to its appeal.
  • Environmentally sustainable production method.

Cons

  • Substantial weight (60 kg) requires careful handling and placement.

  • Concrete material can be susceptible to cracking in extreme frost if left untreated.
  • The vintage finish may require occasional maintenance to preserve its appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Carefully unpack all components, noting the significant weight of the base and basin.
  2. Assemble the pedestal column onto the base.
  3. Place the square basin onto the pedestal. Ensure it sits securely.
  4. For enhanced safety, especially if children or pets are present, use silicone adhesive or sealant to fix the basin to the base after assembly, utilizing the locating pin if provided.

Compatibility:

This birdbath is designed for outdoor garden use and is compatible with standard garden environments. It can be placed on lawns, patios, or directly on the ground, provided the surface is level and firm.

Care:

  • Clean the birdbath periodically with a soft brush and water to remove algae or debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  • In winter, if extreme frost is expected, it is recommended to empty the basin completely to prevent water from freezing and potentially cracking the stone. For added protection, consider covering the birdbath or moving smaller elements indoors if feasible.
  • The reconstituted stone may develop a natural patina over time, which can add to its charm. If you wish to maintain the original finish, gentle cleaning and occasional application of a stone sealer (suitable for birdbaths) may be considered.
