Rain Barrel Fountain Assembly Instructions (PDF)

Material
High-fired natural clay, natural glazing elements (glazed only). This glazed and terra cotta pottery is high fired between 990 (terra cotta) and 1000 (glazed) degrees centigrade to ensure frost resistance and durability. Due to the processes used in the manufacturing of these hand-made and hand-glazed containers, all variations with respect to firing, color, size and crackling are natural occurrences in the manufacturing process. The glazes on these containers consist of natural, not chemical, components and therefore the final color of each product will vary. This process creates the unique beauty of each piece.

Includes all of the proper tubing and piping to set your fountain up.

Care and Maintenance
We suggest that birdbath/fountain tops not be left outside in the winter. Once the top fills with water/snow and freezes, the top may crack. All birdbath/fountain bases, bench legs and statuary should be raised up off the ground in winter so they will not freeze to the ground surface. Ideally, a fountain should be stored indoors in the winter away from the elements. However, if a fountain bowl must be left outside, remove all pumps, rubber stoppers, drain pipes, finials and small components, and cover the top with burlap or any absorbent material (old blanket/towel) and then wrapped with dark plastic, making sure that water does not accumulate in the basin and freeze. Fountain pumps, finials, and other small components should be stored indoors. Check the fountain periodically to insure that the cover is secure and water is not accumulating in any fountain component.

Cleaning Instructions
Clean with mild soapy water and use a lint-free cloth or sponge to wipe the surface. Do not pressure wash, use alcohol based cleaners, apply corrosive cleaners or scrub with anything abrasive.

Warranty
All landscaping pieces are warrantied to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for one year from the original date of purchase.
