Wine Barrel Yard Sculpture Or Yard Art With Lights

This is a red barrel sphere with wine barrel stave stand with solar lights included. We have reclaimed the wine barrel, broken it down, cleaned, and sanded it. Then we have coated with metal bands with red rust-oeleum which will help keep the metal from tarnishing and also give it a vibrant red color. The metal bands include 6 different bands that are mounted together in a sphere. The wine barrel staves have been coated with an outdoor sealant and remain in their natural color. We have mounted the base of the staves together and then wrapped another band around the bottom keeping it help firmly together. This item would look great with more than one down the entry way of your house, or down your driveway, or in your front yard, backyard, or garden. You simply dig down a couple of inches into the ground and then place the dirt back around the hoop and stand. We will include some ties to stick into the ground for additional security. You could also add some heavier dirt, rocks, and even cement to hold it in place. Materials: -6 Red Wine Barrel Hoops -mounted together on both the top and bottom -4 wine barrel staves mounted together with the base -Additional ties to the ground and item included -Lights are 30 feet of solar light string with batteries. Dimensions: Sphere: is approx 26 x 26 inches Sphere and Stand : 26 x 26 x 60 inches Weight : approx 25 pounds Assembly: The sphere will come in one piece , the stand will come mounted together. The only thing you will have to do is string the lights inside the sphere. There will be grommets to wrap the string around to hold it in place. Maintenance and Care: It is treated to be outside but I do recommend storing the item indoors during harsh winter months where there is a lot of snow or rain or if it's very windy out. You can remove the sphere from the stand anytime so it's easier to store. Would be great as a yard or garden sculpture, yard art, driveway art , or garden sculpture.
