Winter Care: Protect all benches from freezing and thawing. Cast stone, is slightly porous, which can allow small amounts of moisture to absorb into the surface of the bench. If this moisture freezes, it can cause small cracks or chips. The bench may be left in freezing weather, provided it is dry and covered.

Placement: Always place benches on a solid level foundation. If the bench is to be placed on a softer surface like the ground and the weight of the bench is significant, two inches of packed stone or sand will provide your bench a solid foundation.
