What This Nozzle Gives You

- Wooden case packing and door to door delivery protect the surface during transit
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A private garden courtyard where a single object anchors the space without dominating it
- A semi-public garden at a residential complex where the sculpture becomes a shared landmark
- A garden entrance where the piece is seen before the house or pavilion
- A garden feature near a water feature, where the reflection is doubled by the surface
- A garden with low planting, where the sculpture stands out against greenery and paving

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 depending on the garden’s exposure
- Mirror, brushed or painted surface applied to the same shell for consistency
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- #304 stainless steel for general outdoor garden use
- #316 stainless steel where salt exposure or de-icing is expected
- Mirror polish to reflect the garden, sky and people
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor handling marks
- Painting for schemes that require colour rather than reflection
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the garden site, setting form, size and finish
- Small clay model scaled up with internal support structure designed in parallel
- Plaster mould taken from the model for precision shaping
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell
- Surface mirror polished, brushed or sprayed based on the chosen finish
- Welded assembly on site to allow final joint finishing and secure installation
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Weld between hemispheres is ground and polished to be flush, not raised
- Repeated grinding before surface treatment is part of the published method
- Wooden case packing protects the polished surface during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You

- #304 or #316 body to suit the garden’s exposure conditions
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed with the piece for garden installation
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, changing surface; this polished sphere is chosen for a consistent, reflective appearance |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is not suited for outdoor exposure |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; this stainless steel piece maintains its original surface finish |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the size against the garden space, not against a catalogue listing
- Place the sculpture where it has something worth reflecting: sky, trees, water, or a building facade
- Allow for a foundation and fixing detail sized for wind load at large diameters
- Clean a mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Specify #316 rather than #304 if the garden is near a coastal area or exposed to road salt
- Plan 35 days production plus sea freight from the installation date
Questions Buyers Ask
200cm Large outdoor garden courtyard polished stainless steel month sphere sculpture Questions
What size is this garden sculpture and can it be made larger?
The listed size for this piece is 150 cm high by 120 cm wide and deep. Like most of this catalogue, it is also made to custom size.
Which stainless grade will I get for this garden sculpture?
This sculpture is made in #304 or #316 stainless steel. Tell us whether the garden is near the coast or exposed to de-icing salt, and we will confirm the best grade for the exposure.

All three are available for this piece. Mirror gives the strongest reflection, brushed reduces glare and hides handling marks, and painting is used where the scheme calls for colour.

Yes. The workshop takes orders according to a photograph or a drawing from the customer. Send the reference image, the size you want, and where it will stand in the garden.
