To use this Custom Metal Owl Tree Stake Wall Art, you can place the tree stake part into the ground in your garden or hang it on a wall. When placing it outdoors, make sure the ground is soft enough to insert the stake easily. If you choose to hang it, ensure the wall can support its weight. As for maintenance, occasionally wipe it with a dry cloth to keep it clean. Avoid exposing it to harsh weather conditions for long periods to prevent rust. And if you have added the free mounting holes, check the fasteners regularly to make sure they are secure.
