Our English Sandstone Accent Stone Bird Baths Garden Collection is manufactured using a technique called Dry-Casting. This method has been around for centuries and has proven itself to be a durable, attractive and high quality alternative to other materials (such as terra-cotta, plastic, clay, fiberglass or concrete).

The nature of our stone bird bath statues has a number of advantages, it has the appearance of carved stone at a fraction of the cost, and it ages much like natural stone, developing a rich patina quite rapidly. Our most recent stone bird bath design improvements and curing methods have given our stone greatly increased strength, weather tolerance and resistance to abrasion.
