Garden Ornaments Metal Stainless Steel Lotus Flower Sculpture

Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You

- 304 for general garden exposure or 316 where coastal or salted conditions are present
- Hollow construction reduces weight at large diameters, easing installation
- Available from 3 to 9 meters, so it can scale to the space rather than the other way around
- Wooden crate with inner plastic or foam packing protects the surface during transit

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel lotus | Painted mild steel is cheaper but requires repainting; stainless steel holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass lotus | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable outdoors |
| A corten steel lotus | Corten changes over time with weathering; this stainless version maintains its original appearance |
| A bronze lotus | Bronze is heavier and more expensive; stainless steel offers similar visual impact with lower weight and maintenance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the garden’s scale, not the catalogue size
- Place the lotus where it has something to reflect: water, sky, or planting
- Ensure the base and fixing are sized for wind load, especially at the upper end of the size range
- Clean the surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the finish
- 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 the factory
