Do you put anything on that pedestal ?

No so far.. we have two of them and are trying to work them into the foliage.. My guy wants to put planters on them, but I'd rather leave them to blend in as our plants mature. We got the pair last year, and have to winter them in the shed so they don't get too damaged. They're so heavy that it takes the two of us to lift each one onto the wagon. Well probably move them every year until we find the 'perfect' spot.
