- 316 stainless steel for gardens in coastal areas or where de-icing salts are used
- Mirror polish for strong reflection of sky, trees, and surrounding space
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Painting for colour integration when the design calls for non-reflective tones
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the garden space, including scale, form, and finish
- Small clay or digital model created and scaled up to full size
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the metal shell
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to achieve the final form
- Surface treated with mirror polish, brushed finish, or paint as required
- Final assembly and welding on site, with joint finished to match the surface
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 base before final surface treatment
- Inner plastic or foam padding protects the surface during transit in the wooden crate
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size, height, or curvature can be made to specification
- Mirror, brushed, or painted finish selected based on the garden setting

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish without maintenance |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten changes appearance over time with weathering; this stainless piece retains its original finish permanently |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is not suitable for long-term outdoor exposure |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze requires periodic waxing and can develop patina; stainless steel holds its surface with minimal care |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden’s scale, not on a standard catalogue dimension
- Position the sculpture where it has a meaningful reflection—sky, trees, or water
- Ensure the base and fixing are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- 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 experiences winter salting
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
