You need to decide which type of ornament suits the character of your outdoor space. The Garden Ornaments & Statues range includes items like a garden gnome, a gothic gargoyle, a practical rain gauge and patriotic flags. You can select an animal design such as a hippo or a rooster, or opt for a simple cast iron house number. The collection covers various materials from polyresin to pure copper. You might want a piece that acts as a water feature, or a wind direction indicator for a roof. Knowing the exact size, material and weight of an item helps you find the right spot for it in your garden.
What matters most
The main thing to consider is the size of the piece you want. Photographs often flatter the size, so you must check the exact height in centimetres before you choose an ornament. For example, the Design Toscano Kiss and Tell Lover gnome stands at 30cm. The Hanna Hippo pond spitter measures exactly 25.5cm tall.
You also need to think about the material and the finish. A pure copper weathervane brings a multi-colour patina in red and bronze tones. The large flags are made of durable polyester. An Esschert house number is cast iron in a rust brown finish, which suits a traditional or modern garden setting.
How to choose
Weigh up exactly where you plan to put your new garden ornament. The Design Toscano Apex Winged Dragon roof cresting features a hinged base. This design sits securely astride a standard roof pitch for easy installation. The Kerbl Rain Gauge with Scale mounts onto round posts measuring up to 24mm across.
Think about the typical weather conditions in your garden. Resin statues are lighter than stone and can blow over in an exposed spot. You should put them against a solid wall or weigh the base to keep them secure. The Design Toscano Chained Cathedral Gargoyle is made from crushed stone bonded with resin.
Types in the range
The collection features decorative items alongside practical accessories. You can choose a water feature like the Hanna Hippo pond spitter. This is designed to pour water into a pond and aerate the water. It connects to a pump, which you can find in Garden & Outdoor.
The range includes several Union Jack flags for outdoor displays. These polyester flags come in a 5 x 3ft size and a 10 x 6ft size. You can also pick a 5 x 3ft King Charles III Coronation design. We list a squirrel proof bird feeder. This hanging metal tray design holds 1.3kg of seed.
Care and use
Each piece is built for outdoor use, but correct placement helps it last. The Kerbl Rain Gauge with Scale is plastic and works all year round. It helps you manage lawn watering plans and understand your garden climate. The pure copper Red Rooster Weathervane serves as a wind direction indicator.
For any statues with a two tone stone finish, you can place them in a courtyard or indoor spot if you prefer. The gargoyle statue is listed as UV resistant for outdoor display. You will find planters, seeds and feed in the Pots, Planters & Growing category.

Common questions
How do I keep my resin statues from blowing over?
Resin statues are lighter than stone and can blow over in an exposed spot. You can stop this by putting them against a solid wall. You might also weigh the base down to keep them upright. Always check the weight, such as the garden gnome which weighs about 2.6kg.
What do I need to run the pond spitter?
The Design Toscano Hanna Hippo pond spitter is piped to pour water into a pond. It works by aerating the water feature. The spitter is designed to connect to a water pump to keep the water flowing smoothly. We list a pond pump in the Garden & Outdoor section for this purpose.
How do I mount the winged dragon roof cresting?
The Design Toscano Apex Winged Dragon roof cresting features a hinged base. This engineered mount sits securely astride a standard roof pitch. The design means it fits securely on top of your roofline. It is hand-cast in crushed stone bonded with resin, bringing architectural character to your outdoor home.
Does the rain gauge come with mounting brackets?
The plastic Kerbl Rain Gauge with Scale does not need complex assembly. It is designed for easy installation straight into your garden. The gauge simply mounts directly onto round posts up to 24mm across. This allows you to place it in vegetable patches or flower beds to easily monitor rainfall.
What finishes are available for the garden statues?
The statues feature a range of detailed finishes. The Design Toscano Chained Cathedral Gargoyle comes in a two tone stone finish. The Kiss and Tell Lover gnome is hand-painted in full colour. The pure copper Red Rooster Weathervane is hand-finished with a multi-colour patina in red and bronze tones.
