A full size concrete bird bath wants about three feet of clearance on every side to look right. A narrow garden or a balcony does not have three feet.

PEDESTAL BIRD BATH

Full Height, Small Footprint

This one drops the basin to 16 inches and keeps the column at 24. It stands as tall as a full size bath and takes a smaller circle of ground.

The column is properly fluted, with the channels running the full length and opening out as the base flares. A band of dentils sits under the bowl and another around the foot. Get the classical proportions right and a compact piece reads as small rather than shrunken.

Two Pieces, One Twist

Every concrete bird bath we carry uses the same twist fit, whatever the shape.

Your Concrete Pedestal Bird Bath Roman Fluted, up in three steps

  1. 1

    Insert top into bottom

    Lift the basin onto the pedestal and drop the collar into the socket. Two people make this easy, one person can manage it.

  2. 2

    Twist to lock

    Turn the basin a quarter turn until it seats. No adhesive, no fixings, and it comes apart again the same way.

  3. 3

    Level and fill

    Check it sits flat all the way round, then fill to about two inches.

What You Get With This Concrete Pedestal Bird Bath Roman Fluted

  1. 01

    Sized for gardens that are not big.

    A 20 inch basin crowds whatever is next to it unless you leave space around it. Sixteen inches on the same 24 inch column gives you a proper pedestal bath on a balcony, in a side return, at the end of a narrow border, or on a patio where the furniture already takes the floor.

  2. 02

    Fluting that runs all the way down.

    The channels are not stopped halfway. They follow the base as it flares and open out with it, which is the correct classical treatment and the reason this reads as a small column rather than a short one.

  3. 03

    Fill to two inches, not to the brim.

    At that depth chickadees sip from the rim and wrens stand right in it. A smaller basin holds less water, so top it up more often through summer.

  4. 04

    Still 31.9 pounds.

    Compact does not mean light. Resin baths this size usually need anchoring. This one holds position on its own weight.

Where to put it

A balcony, a side return, the end of a narrow border, a patio corner, anywhere a full size bath would crowd its neighbours. Twenty four inches puts the basin at a safe height. Even in a tight spot, leave what open ground you can on the approach side and keep a shrub or a low branch within a short flight for cover.

Questions About This Concrete Pedestal Bird Bath Roman Fluted

How much space does it need?
Far less than a 20 inch bath. The narrow footprint works on a balcony, in a side return, or at the end of a border where a full size piece would crowd whatever is beside it.
Is 16 inches enough for birds?
Yes. The rim is what matters most and this one is wide enough to land on and assess from. A smaller basin simply needs topping up more often.
Will it hold on a balcony?
Thirty two pounds is heavy for a compact piece and it holds position on a level solid surface. In a very exposed spot, set it against a wall rather than free standing.
What are the small blocks under a bird bath rim called?
Dentils, a classical band borrowed from Greek and Roman architecture. They repeat around the foot as well, which ties the two ends of the column together.
What bird bath suits a small garden or balcony?
One that keeps the height and loses the width. This one holds a full 24 inch column and drops the basin to 16 inches, so it stands as tall as a full size bath and takes a smaller circle of ground.
Is a 16 inch basin big enough for birds?
Yes for the small birds most gardens get. Chickadees sip from the rim and wrens stand right in it. A smaller bowl holds less water, so top it up more often through summer and empty it rather than refilling on top.
