Campania International Sunbury Birdbath

Yes, cast stone is a dense, weather-resistant material designed for outdoor longevity. However, in climates with harsh freeze-thaw cycles, we recommend draining the basin and covering it or moving it to a sheltered area during winter to prevent potential cracking.

Regularly scrub the basin with a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and water to prevent algae buildup. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washers, as these can damage the finish and the integrity of the stone.

The birdbath typically arrives in two or more pieces—the pedestal and the basin—which are designed to stack securely. No complex tools are required, though we recommend having a second person assist with placement due to the weight of the cast stone.

Because of its weight, the Sunbury birdbath is quite stable on flat surfaces. If you are placing it on grass or soil, we recommend creating a level, compacted base of gravel or a stone paver to ensure it remains steady and does not tilt over time.

Cast stone finishes are applied to age gracefully, and some natural weathering or softening of the color is expected when exposed to the elements. This patina often adds to the classic, traditional aesthetic of the piece.
