Pro Usage Tips

• Setting the Scene: Pair these Shikaras with our Natural Wooden Bark Slices to simulate a rustic boat landing or pier.
• Stability: If placing in a garden with moving water, use a tiny drop of waterproof adhesive to “anchor” your Shikara to a stone or piece of wood.
• Maintenance: To keep the intricate cabin details clear of dust, a quick rinse in cool water or a soft-bristled brush is all that’s required.
