Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres over a mould and welded together
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body, selected based on environmental exposure
- Mirror polish applied to the entire shell for a continuous reflective surface
- Custom diameter as standard, not as a special order, to fit the garden space
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for standard garden use in non-coastal areas
- 316 stainless steel for gardens near the sea or in areas with de-icing salt
- Mirror polish that reflects the garden, sky, and surrounding forms
- Hollow construction that keeps weight low for garden installations
- Corrosion and temperature resistance suitable for long-term outdoor exposure
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the garden’s layout, scale, and visual flow
- Small clay or model created and scaled up to the intended size
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the hemispheres
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to form the shell
- Surface polished to mirror finish, with welds ground and blended
- Final assembly and packing in a wooden crate with inner plastic or foam
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 polishing ensures a smooth, reflective finish
- Inner plastic or foam protection prevents scratches during transport
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter to specification, from 25 mm to 10 m, as stated in the company’s verified capabilities
- Mirror polish, brushed finish, or painting available on the same shell
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on the garden’s exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the garden’s soil and wind load
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sphere | Painted mild steel is cheaper but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sphere | Corten changes over time with weathering; a mirror sphere maintains a consistent reflective surface |
| A fiberglass sphere | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is not suitable for long-term outdoor exposure |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; a mirror sphere keeps its original reflective appearance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the garden’s scale, not on a standard size
- Place the sphere where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, or garden structures
- Ensure the foundation is 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 salt
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
