Know before you buy
The dry cast stone method creates a dense, highly durable material that mimics the structural integrity and longevity of natural stone. It is specifically engineered to withstand outdoor exposure and will develop a natural patina over time.
With a weight of 350 pounds and a wide 24-inch square base, this pedestal is exceptionally stable. It is designed to support significant weight, making it a secure foundation for heavy statuary or stone urns.
Yes, the finish is designed to age gracefully. Like natural stone, it will weather and develop a unique patina based on your local climate and environmental conditions.
While it can be placed on soil, we recommend setting it on a level, compacted surface like a stone paver or a concrete pad. This prevents the pedestal from settling unevenly into the ground over time.
The pedestal is low-maintenance and does not require sealing. If you wish to clean it, a simple rinse with water or a soft brush is sufficient to remove debris.
