Natural Garden Arts Japanese Stone Lantern JL0402

Because the lantern is constructed from five interlocking, heavy granite pieces, it is quite stable on its own. However, if you live in an area with high winds or uneven ground, you may want to use a small amount of clear masonry adhesive between the sections to ensure a permanent, secure fit.

Pearl Flower granite is a dense, natural stone that is highly resistant to moisture absorption. It is perfectly safe to leave outdoors year-round, even in freezing climates, as it will not crack or spall like concrete or softer stone materials.

The lantern is designed with a central cavity that can accommodate a small LED tea light or a solar-powered light fixture. While it does not come pre-wired for electricity, the modular design makes it easy to place a light inside the main chamber.

As a natural stone product, the granite will maintain its structural integrity indefinitely. Over time, it may develop a light patina or moss growth depending on your local climate and the amount of shade in your garden, which many gardeners find adds to the authentic, aged aesthetic.

Assembly is straightforward and requires no tools. The pieces are designed to stack securely on top of one another using gravity and precision-cut grooves. We recommend having a second person assist you during assembly, as the individual granite components are heavy.
