Contemporary Metal Outdoor Garden Stainless Steel Sculpture

It is made from 304 or 316 stainless steel, with a surface finish that can be mirror polished, brushed, or painted. The listed size is custom size, and like almost every item in this catalogue, it is made to any diameter or height on request.

Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in non-coastal areas
- 316 stainless steel for coastal exposure or areas where de-icing salts are used
- Mirror polish for reflective surfaces that show sky, plants and surroundings
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor handling marks
- Painting where a non-reflective, coloured surface is required
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the garden or site context, including form, scale and finish
- Small clay or digital model created and scaled up to the final size
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the metal shell
- Steel plate forged over the mould and ground repeatedly to achieve the final form
- Surface polished, brushed or sprayed after welding and shaping
- Welded assembly completed on site, with joint finished to match the surface
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Welds are ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- Repeated grinding is part of the published method to ensure surface uniformity
- Inner plastic or foam padding protects the surface inside the wooden crate

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish without maintenance |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten changes over time with weathering; this stainless piece is chosen to remain stable and reflective |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be mirror polished and is not suitable for long-term outdoor exposure |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze requires periodic maintenance and develops patina; stainless steel holds its original finish |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden’s scale, not on a standard catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has a meaningful view to reflect—sky, trees, water, or architecture
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean the surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the garden is near the coast or exposed to road salt
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production, plus 15 to 20 days for transport, from order to site delivery
