Slate is a natural stone that is often chosen for its durability, resistance to weathering, and attractive appearance.

Slate plinths are designed to be stable and sturdy, ensuring that the bird bath placed on top remains secure. The weight and thickness of the slate contribute to the overall stability of the structure.

Sandstone is generally durable and can withstand outdoor weather conditions. However, it may require occasional cleaning to maintain its appearance.

Proper care can help prolong the life of the bird bath, ensuring that it remains an attractive feature in the garden for years. Regular cleaning with water and a mild detergent can help prevent the buildup of dirt and algae.

Foras Cleaning Kit Instructions

Please Note: Slate is a product of nature and as such, there will be variations in colour, texture and patina. These features are part of the natural beauty of stone, and ensure that each piece is completely unique.

• For Multiples– We will ensure they work well together, but exact colour matching (especially copper tones) is not guaranteed or offered.
• Online orders – Single items are picked at random from stock. We will not open multiple heavy crates to select colours.
• Copper tones are rare and cannot be requested when ordering online.  If you want to hand-pick your colour/tone, please visit our showroom selection area.
•  Website images show examples only – your planter will be unique. Natural slate comes from the earth – it is not manufactured. These differences are what make it special.

Slate is a metamorphic rock with a fine grain, it has the unique ability to be split accurately into straight slabs and plates. The split sheets each display unique texture and colouration, though always with a predominantly grey base. Slate varies in colour depending on where it is mined as the individual composition of the rock varies between localities. Slate is particularly suitable for use as a planter as it has an extremely low water absorption index, meaning that it is resistant to frost damage. It is incredibly durable and will last for hundreds of years, a Foras slate plinth is a feature for life.
