Design Toscano Jolly the Squirrel Downspout Statue - Hand-Painted Crushed-Stone Resin, Fits 4x5" Rectangular Downspouts

Jolly the Squirrel is a hand-painted resin-and-crushed-stone downspout statue that diverts rainwater from your gutter onto the lawn while adding whimsical curb appeal.

This decorative gutter guardian from Design Toscano combines practical water diversion with sculptural detail. Hand-cast from crushed stone bonded with designer resin and individually hand-painted, the piece captures the lively pose and fluffy tail of a playful squirrel while fitting common rectangular downspouts. It’s a lightweight, weather-ready accent designed to protect foundations by directing runoff where you want it to go, all while serving as a charming focal point for your home or garden.

How does Jolly the Squirrel work with my downspout?

Jolly mounts at the base of a rectangular downspout and redirects water flow away from the foundation. The rear opening accepts standard shapes and channels the water through the squirrel’s mouth and onto the lawn instead of pooling at the house.

• Rear opening measures approximately 5" W x 4" H for straightforward attachment.
• Fits many rectangular downspouts up to 4" x 5" (confirm your downspout dimensions before purchase).
• Designed to sit beneath the downspout outlet to guide runoff outward and downward.

What materials and finishations keep it outdoors-ready?

The statue is hand-cast from real crushed stone combined with high-quality designer resin for a durable, natural appearance. Artisans hand-paint each piece, adding weather-tolerant pigments and protective coatings to preserve color and sculptural detail.

• Crushed-stone/resin composite resists chipping and surface wear.
• Hand-painted finish gives unique texture and lifelike color variations.
• Lightweight (about 2 lbs) yet sturdy enough for garden and porch use.

Will Jolly fit my landscaping style and where can I place it?

With a playful, naturalistic design, Jolly complements cottage, rustic, and traditional landscapes while adding visual interest to modern yards. Place it at the base of a downspout, on a small patio, or near flower beds to integrate function with decorative appeal.

• Compact footprint: approximately 9" W x 6" D x 8" H for tight spaces.
• Works equally well on lawns, garden borders, or near foundation plantings.
• Perfect as a housewarming gift or an accent near entryways and porches.

How do I care for and install this gutter statue?

Installation is simple: position the piece under the downspout outlet and, if needed, trim or adapt the downspout to align with the rear opening. Routine care involves occasional rinsing to clear debris and inspecting the painted finish after severe weather.

• Set directly beneath the downspout or anchor with discreet landscape spikes if desired.
• Rinse with a garden hose to remove leaves or sediment buildup.
• Touch up paint chips with outdoor acrylics to refresh appearance if necessary.

Who is this for? Jolly the Squirrel is ideal for homeowners and gardeners who want a practical water-diverting solution that also enhances outdoor aesthetics. If you appreciate artisan-made accents, need a compact downspout adapter for common rectangular sizes, and want something more decorative than a standard splash block, this whimsical Design Toscano statue is created for your porch, lawn, or garden setting.
