Caring for Your Gnome

Your new concrete garden gnome has been sealed to protect it from the weather. Generally, they are very durable; however, to prolong the life of your gnome, they should never be placed directly on damp ground.

Placement Tips

Keep gnomes on a well-drained surface such as:

Crushed rock
Patio blocks
River rock

This will prevent the concrete from soaking up too much moisture, which may cause the paint to peel and concrete to crumble.

Annual Maintenance

We recommend that you re-seal your gnome every year with an exterior concrete sealer to keep the colours bright and to repel moisture.

Recommended product: Ace Seal Tech water-based waterproofing sealer

Important: Always leave the bottom of the concrete ornament unsealed so it can breathe.
