Classic Round Slate Sundial
We can supply the Classic Slate with a plain gnomon (the shadow caster) instead of one with the word SUNDIAL engraved on it. When you order make a note of this in the special instructions box.
These unusual slate sundial are engraved on a solid sheet of slate, 1/2" to 3/4" (12 to 20mm) thick, with agnomon that casts theshadow. Slate is a natural material already present in many gardens and impervious to the ravages of our weather. And being a natural material it will vary in dimensions and finish.
Slate sundials make a stunning focal point in any garden. Set upon a pillar they will draw the eye to the centre of your garden. The dials are set up to show solar time so a mental adjustment has to be made to bring these in line with British Summer Time. Whilst not precision instruments they will tell the passing of time.
It is not possible to engrave directly on our sate sundials but we can supply a brass plaque engraved with a dedication of your choice, which can be mounted on the sundial plinth, making a slate sundial a memorable and unique gift.
Our price includes FREE delivery to the UK mainland, a free comprehensive manual describing how to set up, fix and care for your sundial. We also offer free insurance against theft of your sundial for 12 months along with a full money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the sundial you purchased.
If you are not satisfied with your sundial we will refund your purchase price in full or swap it for a different model
We will send you an order acknowledgement confirming our intended shipping date. If you order an engraving we will not start this until you confirm the email we send you laying out the intended engraving. Any delay in your reply could effect that intended shipping date.
