Stainless Steel Sphere Sculpture
Garden Decor Mirror Polished Stainless Steel Sphere Sculpture
A mirror polished stainless steel sphere is designed for garden spaces, where it reflects the sky, trees, and surrounding planting in a continuous curved surface. This piece is a hollow ball made from 304 or 316 stainless steel, finished with a hand-made polish to create a reflective surface that changes with the light. The listed size is 100 cm, and like almost every item in this catalogue, it is made to custom size on request. It is intended for placement in private gardens, courtyard entrances, or garden pavilions, where it acts as a focal point that draws attention without dominating the space.

Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line

- A commission based on a photo but without a technical drawing or dimensions
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres over a mould and welded together
- Weld ground and hand-polished to ensure the joint is not visible on the finished surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body, selected based on environmental exposure
- Mirror polish applied by hand to maintain a uniform reflective finish
- 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 de-icing salts are present
- Mirror polish that reflects the garden, sky, and surrounding planting
- Hand-made polishing process that ensures surface consistency
- Plastic or foam inner packing to prevent surface contact during transit
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the garden space, which sets the size, placement, and finish
- Small model created and scaled up with internal support designed in parallel
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the hemispheres
- Plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell
- Surface hand-polished to achieve mirror finish
- Welded assembly on site to allow final joint finishing
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Weld between hemispheres is ground and polished to be invisible
- Repeated grinding before polishing 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 spheres from 25 mm up to 10 m
- Mirror finish applied to the entire shell, no partial treatment

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sphere | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting; stainless holds its finish and is better suited for long-term outdoor garden use |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sphere | Corten changes over time with weathering; a mirror sphere is chosen when the surface must remain consistent and reflective |
| A fiberglass sphere | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be polished to a mirror; it is better suited for indoor or sheltered garden areas |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; a mirror sphere is chosen when the surface must remain unchanged and reflective |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the garden’s scale, not on a catalogue size
- Place the sphere where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, or water
- Ensure the base and fixing detail are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean the mirror 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 de-icing salts
- Plan 25–30 days production plus 15–20 days transport from the date the garden must be complete
