Garden statues and ornaments mounted securely to plinths, walls, or ground fixings. Proper installation so they don't blow over in Devon's weather or walk off in the night.
### Stop Worrying About the Wind
Devon gets **proper weather**. A beautiful garden statue on an unsecured plinth becomes a garden ornament projectile when the next storm rolls through. Secure mounting means you can stop bringing it indoors every time the forecast looks dodgy.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** For valuable statuary, consider non-visible fixings that don't damage the piece but still deter theft.

### Why Proper Mounting Matters
Garden statues are often heavier than they look, but Devon wind is stronger than you'd think. **Professional mounting** means the right fixings for the weight and location.

Good to Know
> 🗿 **Antique or valuable statuary?** Let me know upfront - I'll use methods that don't damage the piece. Some techniques are reversible, which matters for valuable items. **Multiple statues?** Doing several in one visit is more efficient - you'll save on the callout. **Exeter's stone walls?** Local limestone and older rendering needs different fixings than modern brick. I'll use the right ones for your wall type.
Frequently Asked Questions about Garden statue mounting in Exmouth
How do you secure a garden statue?
Depends on the statue and where it's going. Plinths usually get a hidden pin or adhesive. Wall-mounted pieces need proper wall fixings - rawl plugs for brick, different fixings for rendered walls. The goal is secure but not permanent - you might want to move it or bring it in for winter.
Will it stop someone nicking my statue?
It'll stop opportunistic theft - someone can't just pick it up and walk off. Determined thieves with tools can still remove anything, but the idea is to make yours more hassle than it's worth compared to the neighbour's unsecured one. Bit grim but that's reality.
Can you mount statues on walls?
Yes, but I need to check your wall first. Solid brick or stone is fine. Rendered walls depend on what's underneath. Some garden ornaments are heavier than they look - I'll make sure your wall can actually handle it before we start drilling.
What if I want to move it later?
I'll use fixings that can be removed if you tell me that upfront. Completely invisible fixings tend to be more permanent (epoxy adhesive and such). It's a trade-off between security and reversibility - your call.
How long does statue mounting take?
Usually 30-60 minutes depending on complexity. Heavy statues on plinths are quick. Wall-mounted pieces take longer because I need to find solid fixing points and make sure everything's level.
