Most items are made to order. This can take 4 to 6 weeks depending on the product. We will discuss the delivery date with you at the time of purchase.
Our Faraway Garden pieces are handcrafted and one-of-a-kind. This means there will be slight colour variations from piece to piece, reflecting the natural materials used in the production process. Our pieces are made in either dry cast stone or wet cast stone (concrete).
Dry cast pieces use a combination of washed sand, cement and crushed stone. A little water is added – just enough to hold the composite together. The mixture is then hand packed into a mould and left to cure which takes a month. The rough surface promotes weathering and a beautiful ageing effect in a relatively short amount of time.
Concrete is made using a wet cast process, whereby water is added to the cement, sand and a crushed stone mix and this is then poured into a mould. The smooth surface means ageing will take longer so your piece will stay in its original condition for longer.
To maintain our quality and ensure the best outcome in the production of our pieces, we have a curing time of at least 4 to 6 weeks.

Concrete consists of naturally occurring materials, produces no emissions and does not require toxic preservatives.
It is exceptionally durable, in fact items built over 100 years ago, as long ago as the Romans, are still in use today.
Concrete is born from a reaction with water, and this continues to happen to a small degree even after it is fully cured. Where metals oxidise, concrete hydrates. As concrete is porous, moisture can penetrate into the surface causing tiny chemical changes, evidence of age and weathering, while gaining further strength.
Like the silvering of wood as it is exposed to sun and rain, concrete pieces through weather and use (both people and wildlife) can develop fine cracks and marks, telling stories of garden life, family gatherings and celebrations, of passing seasons – a lasting testament to experiences, a record of time and life. Concrete gains character from age - the beauty of patina.

Important Installation Details:
For your safety and the preservation of your new Faraway Garden Bench Seat it is essential that it is sited on a firm and level area. Although the top is reinforced, it may crack if subjected to a pivoting or twisting strain. An 8 to 1 sand/cement bedding mortar must be used to ensure that each support bears an equal weight. The properties of this mixture give a secure hold that can be broken without difficulty if the seat has to be re-sited. We cannot accept responsibility for breakage if this instruction is not followed.
