How do I care for my garden bell chimes?

Caring for your Wooden Bell Chimes

Once you have made your garden bell chime purchase, caring for your chimes can be tedious, but will ensure that your chimes maintain the look that you desire. For hardwood parts of your garden bell chimes you can prevent natural weathering by applying a thin layer of Danish or lemon oil. Regular oil will retard the natural weathering process. Use a mild soap and water to clean any glass or aluminum parts of the chimes. It is best to avoid dampening the string or cord to prevent wear.

   
Where do I hang my garden bell?

Hanging Garden Bells

In order to create the most effective sound for your garden bell look for where the wind can catch the chime of the bell most frequently and affectively. You can hand your garden bell from a structure, a shepherd's hook staked in the garden, or even on a low limb of a nearby tree. If you hang it from a structure, just be sure to allow sufficient swing room for the bell and its chimes.

   
What type of garden bell should I purchase?

Purchasing garden bells

Many would argue that when purchasing a garden bell, bronze is the most prefered metal. Bronze resists erosion and decay and may well outlast any other type of metal bell, providing years of pleasure for its buyer. In fact, many artisans and craftsmen will use bronze exclusively for not only its appearance but also quality and durability.

   
How can I create nostalgia?
