The ideal solution is to store your outdoor items away from direct exposure to the winter elements: a basement, garage or shed.

Statues with designs that may collect water should be covered or stored. They are also susceptible to damaging effects of ice and wind. If they do not seem securely placed, lower them from their pedestals early in the winter. In windy cities, statues should be secured to permanent structures. Painted items should be allowed to winter over in a covered area. We strongly suggest that all portable statues be taken indoors in extremely inclement weather and freezing temperatures.

- Drain thoroughly.

- Remove the statues and pumps, and store inside.

- Fill the bowl or shell with an absorbent material such as towels, blankets, etc.

- Cover the entire fountain with a fountain cover or heavy-duty plastic sheeting and secure tightly.

- Small fountains and birdbath bowls may be inverted so that water will not pool inside.

- Remove the drain plug if your fountain has one.

- Do not use antifreeze in the fountains.

- Do not allow fountains or statuary to sit in freezing and thawing water.

- Store portable fountains, birdbaths and planters indoors.

Please remember, while resin and cast stone are durable, nature can be stronger. Maintenance is crucial!

Note: In summer months do not allow the sprinkler to constantly hit the item, this may cause pitting or chipping.
