Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You
- A mirror finish reflects the garden, sky and surrounding planting, making the sculpture dynamic over time
- Hollow construction reduces weight at large diameters, easing installation and foundation design
- #304 for general outdoor use or #316 where coastal exposure or winter deicing is a factor
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish from the same shell ensures consistent surface treatment
- Custom size as standard, not a special order, so the piece fits the space exactly
- Wooden case packing and door to door delivery protect the surface during transit
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A private garden where a single sculptural object adds interest without blocking sightlines
- A public park where the apple form stands as a landmark among trees and pathways
- A hotel courtyard where the sculpture complements landscaping and invites close viewing
- A garden entrance where the apple form signals arrival and draws attention to the space
- A public art installation in a green space where the reflective surface interacts with the environment
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Specify It
- Landscape architects specifying a sculptural object for a garden or urban green space
- Property developers commissioning a permanent feature for a residential or resort garden
- Garden designers integrating a modern metal form into a planting scheme
- Art consultants sourcing a custom stainless steel apple for a public installation
- Private collectors seeking a durable, reflective sculpture for an outdoor garden
Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- A garden that lacks a visual anchor and reads as empty or unstructured
- A space where off-the-shelf sculptures are too small or too generic to stand out
- A commission with only a reference image and no technical drawing
- A need for a durable outdoor sculpture that does not require repainting or maintenance
- A site where the sculpture must be sized to fit a specific garden dimension
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres welded together over a mould
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- #304 or #316 stainless steel body depending on exposure conditions
- Mirror, brushed or painted finish applied to the same shell for consistency
- Custom diameter as standard, not a special order, to fit the site
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- #304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure
- #316 stainless steel where coastal air or road salt is present
- Mirror polish to reflect the garden, sky and people around the sculpture
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide handling marks
- Painting where the design calls for colour rather than reflection
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the garden or 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 forming the shell
- Plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell thickness
- Surface mirror polished, brushed or sprayed to final 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
- The weld between hemispheres is ground and polished to be invisible
- 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
- Mirror, brushed, painted or coloured finish
- #304 or #316 body to suit the exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail worked out with the piece for site installation
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel apple | Painted steel costs less initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass apple | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror and is better suited for indoor use |
| A corten steel apple | Corten is chosen when the surface is meant to weather and change; a stainless apple is chosen when it should remain reflective and unchanged |
| A bronze apple | Bronze is heavier and more expensive; stainless offers a similar reflective surface at lower weight and cost |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the diameter against the garden space, not against a catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has something worth reflecting: planting, sky, water or a building facade
- Allow a foundation and fixing detail sized for wind load at large diameters
- Clean a mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; abrasives damage the polish
- Specify #316 rather than #304 if the garden is near the coast or exposed to winter deicing
- Plan 45 days production plus sea freight from the installation date

Large outdoor metal garden stainless steel apple sculptures Questions
What size is this apple sculpture and can it be made larger?
This apple sculpture is made to custom size.
Which stainless grade will I get?
