- Hollow construction keeps weight manageable even at large scale, simplifying installation
- The sculpture can be shaped into any form, including abstract or organic curves, to suit the garden’s character
- Wooden crate with inner plastic or foam packing protects the surface during transit
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed

Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in gardens with no salt exposure
- 316 stainless steel for gardens near coastal areas or where de-icing salts are used
- Mirror polish for strong reflection of sky, trees and surroundings
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Painting to introduce colour into the garden scheme, where reflection is not desired
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the garden’s layout, planting and architectural style
- Small model created and scaled up to match the intended size and form
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the metal shell
- Stainless steel plate forged over the mould and ground repeatedly to form the shell
- Surface treated with mirror polish, brushing or painting as required
- Welded assembly and installation detail worked out with the piece, including base and fixing
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
- Inner plastic or foam padding protects the surface inside the wooden crate
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You

- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the garden’s ground type and wind load
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is not suitable for long-term outdoor exposure |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten changes over time with weathering; this stainless steel sculpture is chosen to remain unchanged |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina and may require maintenance; stainless steel holds its original surface finish |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden’s scale, not on a standard catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, water, or a building facade
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for the garden’s ground type and wind exposure
- Clean the 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 uses de-icing salts in winter
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the date the garden must be completed
