Know before you buy
This plinth is designed to serve as a stable, elevated display stand for garden ornaments such as armillary spheres or sundials. Its height and robust construction provide a focal point for your garden features.
The plinth is a freestanding pedestal mount. Given its substantial weight of 165 pounds, it is designed to remain stable on level ground without the need for additional anchoring in most garden settings.
Cast stone is a durable, weather-resistant material chosen specifically for outdoor longevity. It is built to withstand the elements, though like any natural stone product, it may develop a subtle patina over time when exposed to the outdoors.
The top surface of the plinth measures 15 inches in diameter. This provides a generous platform for most standard-sized armillary spheres or sundials.
Due to its 165-pound weight, this piece is not intended to be moved frequently. We recommend choosing your desired location carefully before final placement to ensure the foundation is level and secure.
