Special Pickup Instructions

This birdbath is so beautiful but it is INCREDIBLY heavy. It will be located on a slight slope in the garden so please bring enough help to safely lift and load both pieces, or hire professional movers. Bring a suitable dolly, protective padding, moving blankets, and tie-down straps. Measure your vehicle’s cargo space and loading opening before pickup to ensure the 34" basin and pedestal will fit. Buyers are responsible for moving and loading their purchases.
