Stainless Steel Sphere Sculpture
120cm Garden Hollow Ball Stainless Steel Sculpture
A hollow stainless steel ball is designed for a garden setting, where it reflects the sky, trees and surrounding planting in a smooth, curved surface. This piece is a 120 cm diameter sphere made from 304 or 316 stainless steel, and like most in the catalogue, it is made to custom size on request. The body is formed by welding two hemispheres, polished to a mirror finish, and built to stand outdoors in a garden space. The listed production time is 25 to 30 days, with transport taking 15 to 20 days after that.

Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You
- A mirror finish reflects the garden, sky and trees, making the object feel part of the landscape
- Hollow construction reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity at 120 cm diameter
- 304 for general garden use or 316 where coastal exposure or winter salting is a factor
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish available from the same shell, matching the garden scheme
- 120 cm as listed, or any diameter the garden requires
- Wooden crate with inner plastic or foam packing protects the surface during transit
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A private garden where a single object adds visual interest without dominating the planting
- A garden path that needs a reflective landmark at a turning point
- A courtyard with paving and greenery where the sphere reflects the surroundings
- A garden entrance where the sculpture is seen before the house or gate
- A garden feature that stands alone in a lawn or beside a water feature
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify It
- Landscape architects specifying a reflective object for a private or public garden
- Garden designers creating a focal point with a modern, polished form
- Property developers adding a high-end feature to a residential garden
- Private collectors seeking a contemporary metal sculpture for outdoor space
- Art consultants sourcing a custom sphere for a garden installation
Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- A garden that lacks a visual anchor and reads as empty or unfinished
- A space with no object to reflect the sky or trees, making it feel flat
- Off the shelf spheres that come in fixed sizes and do not fit the garden scale
- Painted steel features that fade or chip over time in outdoor exposure
- A commission based on a photo but with no technical drawing to work from
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres over a mould and welded together
- Weld ground and polished so the joint is not visible on the finished surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body depending on the garden’s exposure
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish applied to the same shell
- Custom diameter as standard, not as a special order
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general garden exposure
- 316 stainless steel where coastal air or winter salting is present
- Mirror polish, which reflects the garden, sky and trees
- Brushed finishing, which softens reflection and hides handling marks
- Painting, where the garden scheme calls for colour rather than reflection
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the garden site, setting form, size and finish
- Small clay model scaled up with internal support designed alongside
- Plaster mould taken from the model
- Plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell
- Surface mirror polished, brushed or sprayed
- Welded assembly on site, so the joint can be finished out
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- The weld between hemispheres is polished out rather than left proud
- Repeated grinding before surface treatment is part of the published method
- Inner plastic or foam packing protects the polished surface during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter to specification; the company states stainless steel spheres from 25 mm to 10 m
- Mirror, brushed, painted or coloured finish
- 304 or 316 body to suit the garden exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail worked out with the piece
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel garden ball | Painted mild steel costs less at day one but needs repainting; stainless holds its finish, which is why it dominates permanent outdoor work |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass garden sphere | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper at large diameters but cannot be polished to a mirror and is better suited indoors |
| A corten steel garden form | Corten is chosen when the client wants the surface to weather and change; a mirror sphere is chosen when it should not |
| A solid metal sphere | Solid construction increases weight and cost at large diameters; hollow shell keeps the installed weight down |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Fix the diameter against the garden space, not against a catalogue size
- Set the piece where it has something worth reflecting: sky, trees, planting
- Allow a foundation and fixing detail sized for wind load at 120 cm diameter
- Clean a mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; abrasives kill the polish
- Specify 316 rather than 304 if the garden is near the coast or salted in winter
- Plan 25 to 30 days production plus 15 to 20 days transport from the date the garden is ready
Questions Buyers Ask
120cm Garden Hollow Ball Stainless Steel Sculpture Questions
What size is this garden ball and can it be made larger?
The listed size for this piece is 120 cm, and like most of this catalogue it is also made to custom size. The company states stainless steel spheres from 25 mm up to 10 m in diameter.
Which stainless grade will I get for this garden ball?
This garden ball is made in #304 or #316 stainless steel. Tell us whether the garden is near the coast or salted in winter and we will confirm which grade suits the exposure.
Mirror, brushed or painted finish?
All three are available for this piece. Mirror gives the strongest reflection, brushed reduces glare and hides handling marks, and painting is used where the garden scheme wants colour instead.
How long from order to delivery for this garden ball?
The listing states a production time of 25 to 30 days. Transport takes 15 to 20 days after that, so work back from the date the garden is ready.
How is this polished ball packed for delivery?
In an outer standard wooden crate with inner plastic or foam packing, which protects the polished surface during transit.
Can you build one from a picture I have?
Yes. The workshop takes orders according to a photograph or a drawing from the customer. Send the reference image, the diameter you want and where it will stand in the garden.
