The glass, used in the chimes, is frosted and polished giving a soft luster. It is durable under normal weather conditions. The line, used to string the chimes, is made from woven polyethylene designed to withstand years of UV exposure. In extreme weather and high winds, the chimes should be moved to a protected location.
Each chime is shipped in a corrugated box packed in water-soluble biodegradable materials made from vegetable starch. A brass cup hook is also included.
