Campania International Empire Birdbath

Yes. Because this birdbath is not frost-resistant, you should drain the bowl and cover it or move it to a protected area during freezing temperatures to prevent the cast stone from cracking.

Assembly is straightforward but requires two people due to the weight of the cast stone components. You will need to securely stack the base and the bowl, ensuring they are level on a solid, flat surface.

At 145 lbs, this birdbath is quite substantial and stable. Its weight and wide base design make it unlikely to tip over during typical windy conditions.

To clean the bowl, you can use a soft brush and a mild soap solution to scrub away algae or debris, then siphon out the water or use a sponge to soak up the remaining liquid before refilling.

It is highly recommended to place the birdbath on a level, hard surface like a stone patio or a concrete paver. Placing it directly on soft soil or grass can lead to uneven settling over time, which may cause the unit to tilt.

The cast stone is designed to weather naturally when exposed to the elements. While the finish is durable, you should expect the piece to develop a unique patina as it ages, which is a characteristic of authentic cast stone.
