Know before you buy
Yes, the birdbath is crafted from durable stone, providing significant weight and stability for ground-level placement. It is designed to remain secure in typical garden conditions without needing additional anchoring.
The basin has a depth of 3 inches. This is ideal for most garden birds, as it allows them to bathe comfortably while still providing enough water for hydration.
Because it is made of natural stone, you should periodically rinse the basin with a soft brush and water to prevent algae buildup. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the stone surface and be harmful to birds.
While it is designed for ground-level placement, it can be placed on any level, solid surface like a patio or stone pavers. Ensure the surface is flat to maintain the stability of the pedestal.
The Shell Birdbath typically arrives in two pieces—the pedestal and the shell basin. Assembly is straightforward and involves placing the basin securely onto the pedestal base.
