Gardman BA01281 Review by Ambergris "John Thomas" (New England.....USA)

I presently own two of these very same birdbaths. I will confess I bought them mostly based on the price, (which on sale was cheaper than what they're being offered for here). These birdbaths are attractive enough, stand at a good height, and are very effective as a birdbath. (Not too deep, and even comes with rocks which a lot of birds like in a bath). Unfortunately these birdbaths start to deteriorate and suffer a slow death almost immediately after putting them to work. The resin lining inside the bath begins to seriously erode after just a couple of months of use. Leaving an ugly rough black surface that is not as easy to clean. Although the rest of the bath stays relatively attractive for quite some time, it is the inside of the basin which is the business end of the unit, and where the decorative resin is no thicker or more water resistant than anyplace else. Mostly what I don't like about these baths is that both of mine ended up cracking open inside the basin after just the second year of use, thus requiring an ugly bondo type patch inside for it to hold water. One could probably get a couple of more years of use out of these baths without damage if they were to store them for the winter. Unfortunately birds like and need birdbaths just as much in winter as they do in summer. Mine got a lot of use and were used as drinking water by the birds every day that the water wasn't frozen.

Since it is possible to nurse these baths through the various planned obsolescence they suffer almost from the start, I don't really think its fair that I give them the total shaft as to a rating. They are after all very cheap, (especially on sale, but Amazons price is as good as it gets when not on sale). And they are well designed as far as the simple mechanics of birds baths go. (Many are just too deep. Birds don't like deep water. 3" deep is the limit). Therefore I recommend them for the undiscriminating bird enthusiast, (but only then on sale, or here on Amazon if you buy more than two at once). Having a couple in your back yard is better than none at all if you are on a tight budget, but serious about providing much needed bath water to the birds year 'round...

Gardman BA01281 Review by D. Montano (Mena, Arkansas)

I have had a this model birdbath for over 5 years and love it. Yes, it would tip, so I put heavy rocks on the base, I live in Arkansas so the winters are not extreme, but we do have freezing temps occasionally - no problem with cracking. The birds use it, so that's what matter to me. I think it is an attractive shape and color. I am purchasing two more today for a new home.

Gardman BA01281 Review by Simon Willams "SimonLN" (Birmingham, AL United States)

The paint finish is coming off after only a couple of months.

Also my 4 pound cat put its front paws on its edge to get a drink & the bowl broke so now it won't hold water, making it useless.

Its going out with the trash tonight to end-up in a landfill.

Total junk!

Gardman BA01281 Antique Bronze Pedestal RESIN Bird Bath:: Description

Add elegance to your birding haven with the Gardman Pedestal Birdbath. The interior and exterior of the bowl have a flower pattern, which adds visual interest to the entire piece and helps texture the interior for smaller songbirds. The 2-1/2-inch depth is perfect for allowing smaller birds to bathe while larger birds can drink from the bath. Rectangular holes along the edge of the bowl offer perching room for birds of any size. Adding a classic touch, scrollwork in the base of the pedestal is accented by the antique bronze finish. The pedestal and base easily screw into the bath for quick and easy assembly and the three included ground pegs add stability to the unit. The plastic construction is weather and frost resistant to last for many seasons. Keep birds coming to your yard with the Pedestal Birdbath. Assembly required.
