The sturdy pedestal keeps the birdbath from tipping over while the ceramic construction withstands weather changes.

It's likely that no further discussion is required, in which case we recommend starting a new thread.Metal absorbs the sun's heat rapidly and you can use a sheet of metal encased in a simple pedestal following directions from Build It Solar to warm the water in a shallow basin set on the top of the pedestal. Like the de-icer, these heated birdbaths also need an outdoor electrical outlet with a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. You could see where the tiny g]amount of glue had been and the fixings were just nasty, I requested a full refund having sent photos and was repeatedly told to ‘pick another product’… no thank you.
