Q.Are they frostproof
A.
Because of the bronze coating they do react with the weather and can, as solid bronze,

"wash up" sponge dwith a rough side to it. This will highlight the metal.

their own from wood yards, reclamation yards or from websites selling pedestals

It is advisable to polish them with pure bees wax once or twice a year.
A.
The scuptures are made with a threaded nut encapsulated in the base and each piece
is supplied with a threaded rod which can then screwed into the base and the sculpture
can then be fixed into a pedestal or pushed into the ground to give it stability.
