- Custom diameter as standard, not as a special order, allowing precise fit to the garden space
- Wooden crate with inner plastic or foam packing protects the surface during transit
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A private garden where a single object needs to draw the eye without dominating the planting
- A public garden courtyard that requires a modern, reflective centrepiece
- A residential garden entrance where the sculpture acts as a visual marker
- A landscaped garden path where the ball reflects light and movement from the surrounding greenery
- A garden feature near a water pool, where the reflection is doubled by the surface

- A commission based on a reference image but without a technical drawing
- A desire for a reflective surface that changes with time of day and weather
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres over a mould, welded together
- Weld joint ground and polished to be invisible on the finished surface
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body selected based on environmental exposure
- Mirror polish applied to the entire shell, ensuring a uniform reflective surface
- Custom diameter as standard, not as a special order, with no fixed size listed
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor garden use
- 316 stainless steel for gardens near coastal areas or where de-icing salts are used
- Mirror polish that reflects the garden, sky, and people in a continuous curve
- Plastic or foam inner packing to prevent surface contact during transit
- Wooden crate for structural protection of the polished surface
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the garden site, including scale, placement, and environmental exposure
- Small clay model created and scaled up to the desired diameter
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the hemispheres
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell
- Surface mirror polished after welding to ensure a seamless finish
- Welded assembly and final inspection before packing and delivery
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Weld joint is ground and polished to be flush, not raised
- Repeated grinding before polishing ensures a smooth surface
- Inner plastic or foam packing prevents scratches during transport
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter to specification; the company states spheres from 25 mm to 10 m
- Mirror polished finish applied to the entire shell
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on garden exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the garden foundation and wind load
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel garden ball | Painted steel requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently, reducing long-term maintenance |
|---|---|
| A corten steel garden sculpture | Corten steel is chosen for its weathered, rusted appearance; this mirror ball is chosen for a clean, reflective surface that does not change |
| A fiberglass garden ball | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is more prone to cracking in cold climates |
| A bronze garden sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; this mirror ball maintains a consistent reflective surface without surface change |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the garden’s scale, not a catalogue size
- Place the ball where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, water, or a building facade
- Ensure the foundation and fixing detail are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean the mirror 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 exposed to road salt
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the factory to the site
