These original ceramic Totems are hand-built from low-fire clay using slab construction. They are fired to a bisque temperature, then glazed and fired again to a colorful waterproof finish that will not fade in sunlight.
For the most part they are weatherproof, with the exception of hail, freezing, & heavy snow. They would definately last longer inside or under a coverd porch. I would recommend bringing them inside for inclimate seasons relative to your area.
They are sold as a set of pieces that you can display in a variety of settings. Center rod, pots and filler are not included, available at most home improvement or hardware stores.
Outdoor installation -- drive a section re-bar or tomato stake deep into the ground, I also suggest putting a lyer of river rock or other drainage material under the bottom piece for garden install (so that it never sits in water) and stack the pieces (you can stack them the way that I have in the photo or make your own arrangement)
Indoor (or patio) installation -- use a tomato stake (1.53 m rubber coated hollow aluminum tomato stake, easily obtained from any garden center or home improvement store) plant it into a pot filled with sand or heavy rocks, its all about the weight & pot depth, so that your totem doesn't tip over.
For the taller totems use in concrete base or heavy steel welded base w/ rebar.
