Stainless Steel Sculpture
Outdoor Large Size Stainless Steel Fish Sculpture Animal Statue Garden
A large stainless steel fish sculpture is designed for outdoor garden spaces, where it becomes a focal point that reflects light and movement across its curved surface. This piece is a hollow, welded form made from 304 or 316 stainless steel, intended for permanent installation in gardens, courtyards, or public green spaces. The listed size is 6 m, and like most items in this catalogue, it is made to any custom size on request. The body is formed from two hemispheres over a mould, welded, and polished to a mirror or matte finish. It is packed in a standard wooden crate with inner plastic or foam protection for transport.

Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You
- A large fish form stands out in a garden without dominating the space, adding rhythm and narrative
- Hollow construction reduces weight at large sizes, simplifying foundation design
- 304 for general outdoor use or 316 where exposure to salt or de-icing chemicals is expected
- Mirror or matte finish applied to the same shell, so the surface treatment is consistent
- 6 m as listed, or any diameter the site requires, with production time stated as 25 to 30 days
- Wooden crate with inner plastic or foam packing protects the surface during sea freight
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A private garden where a sculptural fish adds a sense of arrival and story at the entrance

- A hotel courtyard that needs a unique, non-figurative animal piece to match the landscape design
- A garden path that leads to a water feature, where the fish form echoes the aquatic theme

What It Fixes on the Line

- Weld joint ground and polished to blend with the surrounding surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body depending on environmental exposure
- Mirror or matte finish applied to the same shell, ensuring uniform surface treatment

Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure in temperate climates
- 316 stainless steel where coastal air, road salt, or de-icing chemicals are present
- Mirror finish for high reflectivity and visual impact under sunlight
- Matte finish to reduce glare and highlight the form without reflection
- Plastic or foam inner packing to protect the surface during transit
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the garden space, which determines the scale, orientation, and finish
- Small clay model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed in parallel
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the steel plate
- Plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell thickness and form
- Surface polished to mirror or matte finish, depending on the site's lighting conditions
- Welded assembly on site, allowing the joint to be finished out after 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 blend with the shell
- Repeated grinding before surface treatment ensures a smooth base
- Inner plastic or foam packing protects the surface during transport
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter to specification; the company states stainless steel spheres from 25 mm to 10 m
- Mirror or matte finish applied to the same shell, so the surface is consistent
- 304 or 316 body selected based on the site’s exposure conditions
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed with the piece to suit the garden’s ground conditions
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel fish sculpture | Painted steel costs less upfront but requires repainting every few years; stainless holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass fish form | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is less durable outdoors |
| A corten steel fish sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, rusted appearance over time; this piece is chosen for a clean, reflective surface that does not change |
| A small metal fish in a garden fountain | A small piece may be decorative but lacks presence; this 6 m form commands attention in a large garden space |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the fish’s size against the garden space, not against a catalogue listing
- Place it where it has a clear view of sky, water, or planting to reflect meaningfully
- Design the foundation and fixing detail to resist wind load at large diameters
- 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 winter de-icing
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for sea freight from the installation date
