Know before you buy
The statue is crafted from durable designer resin, which is weather-resistant. However, to maintain the hand-painted finish and prevent potential fading or cracking, we recommend bringing it indoors or placing it in a sheltered area during extreme winter conditions.
Yes, the design is intended to look as though the gophers are emerging from the ground. You can nestle the base into soil, mulch, or gravel to create a seamless, natural appearance.
No assembly is required. The statue arrives as a single, solid piece and is ready to be placed in your garden or home immediately.
You can clean the statue by gently wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbers, as these may damage the hand-painted details.
While the designer resin is sturdy, it is lightweight compared to stone or concrete. If you live in an area with high winds, you may want to place it in a protected corner or use a small amount of adhesive putty on the base to secure it to a patio surface.
