Know before you buy
While the statue is crafted from durable designer resin and designed for outdoor use, it is intended to be placed near the edge of a pond or water feature rather than submerged. Prolonged submersion may eventually degrade the hand-painted finish.
At 3 pounds, the statue has enough weight to sit sturdily on flat surfaces like patio stones or garden beds. However, if you live in an area with high winds or are placing it on an uneven slope, you may want to use a small amount of outdoor adhesive or a landscape stake to keep it secure.
You can keep the beaver looking fresh by gently wiping it down with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the hand-painted details.
The statue is finished with high-quality outdoor paint, but like any garden decor, prolonged exposure to intense, direct UV rays can cause gradual fading over several seasons. Placing it in a partially shaded area will help preserve the vibrancy of the markings for longer.
If you live in a climate with harsh winters, freezing temperatures, or heavy snow, it is recommended to bring the statue indoors. This prevents the resin from potentially cracking due to extreme temperature fluctuations and protects the paint finish from ice damage.
