Q: What are the 3 available models and their differences?
Three distinct designs with the same windmill mechanism. The Bee is the most natural design and most in tune with the theme of biodiversity — its wings turn as if it were flying. The Frog is the most playful and humorous design — its elements come to life with lightness. The Flamingo is the most exotic and elegant design — its parts rise in the wind with the characteristic grace of the bird. Same height (H46cm) and same mechanism for all three.
Q: What wind speed is needed for the windmill to turn?
A light breeze (force 2-3 on the Beaufort scale, starting at 5-10 km/h) is enough to set the windmills in motion. On an exposed balcony or in an open garden, they practically turn continuously from spring onwards. In calm weather, they remain static — but their decorative silhouette remains beautiful even without movement.
Q: Can this stake stay outside all year round?
Yes — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The metal is frost-resistant (-20 °C) and treated with anti-UV for the painted elements. In high winds, the mechanism is designed to adapt to significant wind speeds — the metal is flexible enough to bend slightly without breaking.
Q: What is the difference between these windmills and the ladybug stakes on leaf from the catalog?
The fundamental difference is the movement. The ladybug stakes on leaf are static — they add color but do not move. These windmills are kinetic — they come to life in the wind and bring movement, life, and dynamism. The two complement each other very well in the same space — one for color, the other for movement.
Q: Is it a good gift for someone who loves their balcony or garden?
One of the most immediately appreciated gardening gifts in the catalog — precisely because the effect is visible from the first breath of wind. For someone with a flower-filled balcony or a well-kept garden, a decorative windmill says "I think of what makes your space lively and joyful". In the recipient's favorite model or in a collection of three for a more complete gift.
