Know before you buy
Each sign features an integrated pointed stake at the base. You can simply press or tap them directly into the soil by hand or with a rubber mallet.
The signs are made of cast iron, which is a natural material that may develop a rustic patina over time when exposed to the elements. This weathered look is part of their design and does not affect their structural integrity.
Yes, the signs stand approximately 12 inches tall. They are sized to be noticeable to passersby without being visually overwhelming in your garden beds or lawn.
No, the set includes two distinct signs: one specifically depicting a dog in a pooping position and one depicting a dog in a peeing position, both accompanied by the word 'NO!'.
These signs are best suited for soft soil, mulch, or garden beds. If your ground is particularly hard or rocky, we recommend loosening the soil with a trowel before inserting the stake to avoid bending or damaging the cast iron.
