My Totems are made from fir or western cedar and primed with an exterior bonding primer before painting. (I DO NOT use pressure treated wood as paint will not bond to treated wood.) The paint I use is formulated for exterior mural use. They are then top coated with 3 coats of UV protecting marine varnish to prevent fading and to ensure a long life. However- If you wish to prolong their vivid color even more, I recommend placing them in a shaded area and that you store them indoors in the winter months when the sun is at it's harshest. Giving them a new coat of marine varnish every couple of years will prolong their life for many, many years.
My Garden Totems are a wonderful addition and create an exciting pop of color to your yard or garden. I currently offer 4 standard color schemes- the original Bright colors, Earthy color scheme for a more muted natural look, and the Jewel color scheme. I'm open to custom colors if you have an idea of your own. Give me a shout, I'm sure I can make something special for your garden.
The Small Totem Measures 30 inches from the base to the top of the ball, $195.00
The Medium Totem Measures 42 inches from base to top of the ball, $245.00
The Large Totem measures 54 inches from base to the top of the ball, $295.00
The XL Totem measures 66 inches from base to the top of the ball, $340.00
Keep in mind, these are a natural wood product and knots and other anomalies are a part of the character of wood. I do my best to minimize the appearance of these naturally occurring details but they are sometimes visible. I feel it adds to the uniqueness of each piece.

Each Totem comes with a piece of re-bar that is to be driven into the ground, leaving 10-12" above ground. Each Totem is drilled at least 12" deep into the base to then slide over the exposed re-bar. You can then push and pull to get them "plumb", or some people like them at an angle, which make a great accent also. The only tools you will need to install are a heavy hammer to drive the re-bar into the ground. If you want them straight up and down instead of at an angle, you will need a level.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
