Massarelli's Fishing Girl

Yes, cast stone concrete is highly durable and designed for outdoor use. While it can withstand rain and sun, we recommend sealing the statue every few years or bringing it indoors during extreme freeze-thaw cycles to prevent potential cracking.

No, the statue is freestanding. At 37 pounds, it has enough substantial weight to remain stable on flat, level surfaces like patios, walkways, or firm garden soil without needing additional anchors.

A simple scrub with a soft-bristled brush and a mixture of mild soap and water is usually sufficient. Avoid using pressure washers or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish and the integrity of the concrete over time.

You can, but placing it on a flat stone, paver, or brick base is recommended. This prevents the bottom of the statue from sitting directly in mud or damp soil, which helps keep the base clean and prevents it from sinking over time.

Like most outdoor concrete decor, the finish may develop a natural patina as it is exposed to the elements. This weathering process often enhances the statue's character, though you can maintain the original look longer by applying a concrete sealer.
