Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor garden use
- 316 stainless steel for coastal or high-moisture garden environments
- Mirror polish for reflective, dynamic surface that changes with light
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Painting for colour integration into garden or architectural schemes
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the garden space, including scale, form and finish
- Small model created and scaled up to the final size with internal support structure
- Plaster mould taken from the model for accurate shaping of the metal shell
- Stainless steel plate forged over the mould and repeatedly ground to shape
- Welded joints ground and polished to ensure a seamless surface
- Final surface treatment—mirror polish, brushed finish or paint—applied to the entire shell
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 ensures a smooth, consistent shell before final finish
- Packing in a wooden crate with inner plastic or foam protects the surface during shipping
- Final inspection before packing to ensure no damage or finish defects
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size from 3 to 9 meters, or custom dimensions beyond that range
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish applied to the same stainless steel shell
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on the garden's exposure conditions
- Form can be customized—curved, abstract or figurative—based on a drawing or photo
- Base and fixing detail designed to match the garden’s ground type and wind load
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel insect sculpture | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish without maintenance |
|---|---|
| A corten steel insect sculpture | Corten steel develops a rusted patina over time, which may not suit a garden where a clean, modern look is desired |
| A fiberglass insect sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A bronze insect sculpture | Bronze is heavier and more expensive, and requires periodic maintenance; stainless steel offers similar longevity with lower upkeep |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden’s scale, not a standard catalogue size
- Install the sculpture where it has a clear view of the surrounding landscape to enhance reflection
- Use 316 stainless steel if the garden is near a coastal area or exposed to de-icing salts
- Plan for 25 to 30 days production and 15 to 20 days transport when scheduling the installation
- Avoid abrasive cleaners on the surface—use water and a soft cloth to maintain the finish
- Ensure the base and fixing detail are designed for the garden’s soil type and wind load
