Start with where you’ll display it and how you want it to look from a distance.

• Measure the spot: Check height, width, and the footprint so the base fits shelves, steps, or garden beds.
• Match the scale: Small figures (around a few inches) work on mantels or tabletops; medium (about 10–15 inches) suit planters and porches; larger pieces (near 20–30 inches) create yard focal points.
• Consider weight: Heavier concrete is steadier outdoors; lighter pieces are easier to move indoors.
• Style and sets: A single statue can anchor an entry, while pairs or trios frame walkways.
• Check details: Product pages list dimensions and weight to help you visualize the fit.

Cement and concrete garden statues are often used outdoors, but a few habits can help them hold up better through the seasons.

• Give it a stable base: Place on a level paver or step to keep it off soil and improve drainage.
• Mind freeze–thaw cycles: In colder regions, move it to a covered spot or raise it slightly so water doesn’t pool beneath.
• Optional sealing: If the manufacturer allows, a breathable masonry sealer can help reduce staining; spot-test first.
• Avoid harsh products: Keep de-icing salts and fertilizers off the surface.
• Wind awareness: Position lower, heavier pieces in exposed areas, or secure the base as appropriate.

Simple, gentle cleaning typically works well for concrete, cement, terracotta, and faux-concrete finishes.

• Dust and rinse: Brush off debris with a soft bristle brush, then rinse lightly with water.
• Mild soap: Use a small amount of dish soap and a soft brush or cloth for grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or acids.
• Protect the finish: If the piece has a stained or painted look, test a small hidden area first.
• Terracotta note: Don’t soak it; wipe with a damp cloth to help prevent moisture absorption.
• Dry completely: Allow full air-dry before returning it outdoors. If you’ve used a sealer before, reapply only as the maker recommends.

Plan the move and lift from the strongest part to help prevent chips or cracks.

• Check the specs: Review listed weight and dimensions so you know what to expect.
• Team lift larger pieces: Use two people, a dolly, or a hand truck when needed.
• Lift from the base: Avoid holding by ears or delicate details; support from underneath.
• Protect surfaces: Use a moving blanket while transporting and felt pads or a mat when setting indoors.
• Set on level ground: A flat, stable spot helps reduce tipping and wear on the base.

Rabbit statues pair nicely with greenery, whether you’re nesting them in beds or using planter-style designs.

• Look for planter features: Some styles include a bowl, basket, or saucer; check the description for capacity and measurements.
• Drainage matters: Confirm if there’s a drain hole; if not, use a liner pot or add a shallow layer of lightweight filler before soil.
• Protect surfaces: Use a saucer or tray on decks and indoors to catch excess water.
• Plant choices: Compact annuals, herbs, or small succulents complement smaller planters; groundcovers frame standalone statues.
• Seasonal refresh: Rotate plants by season and gently clean the planter between swaps.
