Set of 8, weathered, outdoor

The skeleton that comes up through the lawn

Eight bone-colored pieces — skull, arms, loose hands, legs with feet — washed in grey so the eye sockets, the tooth line and the knuckle gaps still read from the street. You sink the ends in the flower bed and leave the rest above the dirt. Works along a walkway, at the base of a headstone, or half under the porch steps.

Weathered before it ships

The grey wash is already in the sockets, the tooth line and the finger joints. No dry-brushing, no matte spray, no evening with a paintbrush before the yard goes up.

Nothing to plug in

Static, made for outdoor use. No cord running across the lawn, no batteries to swap in the dark, nothing to unplug when the forecast turns.

Read it from the sidewalk

Bury the ends and leave the hands and the skull above the soil, spread across the bed instead of clustered in one spot. A body coming up reads at car speed; a pile of bones reads as a pile of bones.

Gravesend Groundbreaker, closer in

Built for outdoors

October 31 in the dirt, November 1 in the box

On the night, the porch light catches the skull and the fingers, and the rest of the yard fills itself in from there. November 1 you pull the pieces out of the soil, hose them off, let them dry, and they stack flat for storage. Order by mid-October: standard runs 5 to 7 days, express 3 to 4.

What exactly are the eight pieces?

A skull, two arms, two loose hands and two legs with the feet attached — eight bone-colored parts in one box, which is enough to build a whole body coming up without buying a second set.

How much is supposed to show above the dirt?

The ends go under and the rest stays up. Skull and hands above the soil, the arms and legs half in, spread across the bed rather than clustered in one spot. A body coming up reads at car speed; a pile of bones reads as a pile of bones.

The ground here is packed hard. Now what?

Soak the spot with a hose an hour before you set it, or open each hole with a trowel first. In a flower bed the mulch does the work for you — pull it back, lay the piece, pull it over the ends. Hard clay is where people force a piece and snap it.

Do I have to paint or dry-brush it?

No. The grey wash ships already worked into the sockets, the tooth line and the finger joints, so it comes out of the box looking dug up. No matte spray, no evening with a paintbrush before the yard goes out.

Does anything need power?

Nothing. It is a static set made for outdoor use, so there is no cord across the lawn, no batteries in the dark, and nothing to unplug when the forecast turns.

How does it store?

Pull the pieces out of the soil, hose them off, let them dry and they stack flat. The whole set goes back in one box.
