Description

There was a song in the '60s called 'Windmill in Old Amsterdam', it featured imaginatively crafted lines such as 'A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn't grousing'.

Maybe not a Grammy award winner but a song that was a favourite amongst children for many years, and windmills have always been a popular sight for most people not only in Amsterdam. They are reminders of a bygone age when the pace of life was slower.

There are very few working examples now, so Broderstone's cast stone Windmill Garden Ornament will introduce a reminder of the past when windmills used to be a common sight throughout the countrysid.

This tremendously nostalgic ornament replicates a real windmill with sails blowing in the wind, and you can imagine them powering heavy mill stones inside that crushed freshly harvested wheat with Dusting Miller filling sacks with the flour.

Vehicles We Use
Items will be delivered on larger lorries which can get to most places it's typically, a 7.5 ton lorry which is about the size of a dustbin lorry, this will depend on the item that is being delivered and should you have any concerns with restricted access to your property we ask you to contact us prior to placing an order.

Unloading Of Your Delivery
Due to the nature of this product, delivery will be made to the front of the property to the nearest location as a "curb-side delivery" service. Our drivers will not carry these items inside your home or back garden. When the item is delivered on a pallet, the pallet and packaging are non-returnable and the goods can only be manoeuvred on a flat and level surface (i.e. not a gravel driveway) by a pallet truck. On some occasions the driver will split the package to assist with manoeuvring of the item. Once you are happy, we will ask you to check the condition of the goods and sign for the delivery.

Once the delivery has been unloaded from off the driver's van, the customer has 10 minutes in order to unwrap and check the delivery contents for any damages before signing for and accepting a successful delivery. Any damages should be reported to the driver within this time frame, as once the driver has left, any claims for damages may not be successful.

Purchase of stone windmill

The product is excellent but the delivery was extremely poor. Driver was in a hurry and would not take product which was on wooden pallet in the back garden which was only a few feet away from where he left it. My wife and I had to drag the pallet with the heavy product on it which scratched our paving slabs. We also had to pay £40 to dispose of the pallet which was just left with us. Would definitely never buy anything from you again or recommit anyone. We have been left out of pocket and our property has been damaged. Very disappointed.

We Replied:

Thank you for your review, we are glad to hear that you are happy with the product. Although, cannot agree with your feedback regarding delivery as we do state on the product page underneath the Delivery Information section that: "Due to the nature of this product, delivery will be made to the front of the property to the nearest location. Our drivers will not carry these items inside your home or back garden. When the item is delivered on a pallet, the pallet and packaging are non-returnable" Most customers recycle the pallet or reuse the wood for a DIY project in their garden, and those with a firepit or wood-fired stove are more than happy to receive the free pallet which can then be broken down to use for kindling. Thank you for your review, we hope that you get many years of enjoyment out of your new ornament.

windmill garden ornament

Very attractive garden ornament, not very big, but blends nicely with the wishing well. Very neat and solid structure, I trust the plastic sails will withstand any strong winds.

Alan brown Asked:

Can you please tell me the height, width and depth of the windmill?

We Replied:

Dear Alan Thank you for your question. The windmill is 61cm high, but if you add the sail height on in the upright position it extends to 70cm. The windmill (excluding sails) is 30cm deep / wide at the widest point. The sails are heavy duty plastic, but light so they turn easily.

Walter Henshaw Asked:

Is the windmill already assembled or are the sails separate and have to be fitted?

We Replied:

Dear Walter Thank you for your question. The sails will have to be fitted but this is an extremely easy job that does not require a screwdriver as they are simply slotted in.
