- Factory Direct and Door to Door Delivery ensures the sculpture arrives protected and ready for installation
- Hollow construction keeps weight manageable even at large scales
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A garden courtyard where the fish sculpture sits at the edge of a water feature, reflecting the pool surface
- An outdoor square with a paved area where the sculpture acts as a visual anchor between buildings
- A hotel entrance courtyard with a pool, where the fish becomes a landmark for guests
- A private garden with a water feature, where the sculpture adds movement and reflection
- A public plaza with a fountain, where the fish form interacts with flowing water and light
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify It
- Landscape architects designing a focal point in a paved or water-adjacent space
- Hotel and property developers commissioning a unique sculpture for a courtyard or pool area
- Garden designers integrating a modern metal form into a natural or structured landscape
- Art consultants sourcing a custom abstract piece for a public or private installation
- Urban design studios specifying a durable, reflective object for a civic or commercial space
Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- A garden or courtyard that lacks a visual centre despite having space for one
- A pool or water feature that needs a sculptural element that reflects rather than competes
- A project that requires a custom-sized piece but is limited by off-the-shelf options
- A site where a painted or non-reflective sculpture would not engage with light or movement
- A commission with only a reference image, no technical drawing, and a need for precise fabrication
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres over a mould, welded together and ground smooth
- Weld joint polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- Material choice between #304 or #316 stainless steel, or corten steel, based on exposure
- Surface finish applied to the same shell: mirror, brushed, or painted
- Custom diameter as standard, not as a special order, with no fixed size listed
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- #304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in urban or garden settings
- #316 stainless steel for coastal or high-salt environments
- Corten steel for a weathered, rusted appearance that evolves over time
- Mirror polish to reflect the sky, water, and people around the sculpture
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Painting for colour integration into a landscape or architectural scheme
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the site, considering placement, scale, and visual impact
- Small clay model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the metal shell
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to form the shell
- Surface treated with mirror polish, brushed finish, or paint, depending on the specification
- Welded assembly completed on site, with the joint finished to match the surrounding 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 before surface treatment ensures a smooth base
- Wooden case packing protects the polished surface during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter to specification, with no fixed size listed
- Mirror, brushed, or painted finish applied to the same shell
- #304 or #316 stainless steel, or corten steel, selected based on site exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the installation site and load conditions
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel fish sculpture | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A corten steel fish sculpture | Corten steel is chosen for its weathering effect; this piece is chosen when a stable, reflective surface is needed |
| A fiberglass fish sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable outdoors |
| A solid metal fish sculpture | Hollow construction reduces weight and cost at large diameters, while maintaining visual presence |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the size to fit the space, not the other way around—let the environment define the scale
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: water, sky, paving, or building façade
- Ensure the base and fixing are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean mirror surfaces with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Choose #316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to road salt in winter
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production, plus sea freight, from the date the installation must be complete
