Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel requires repainting every few years; corten steel ages naturally and needs no maintenance |
|---|---|
| A mirror polished stainless steel sphere | A mirror surface reflects the surroundings and requires cleaning; corten steel is static and develops character over time |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be made in corten steel; it lacks the material authenticity and weathering of metal |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a green patina but is more expensive and heavier; corten steel is more cost-effective for large garden forms |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the garden’s scale, not the catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it can be seen from multiple angles and where it interacts with light and shadow
- Ensure the base is fixed securely, especially for larger sizes, to resist wind and movement
- Do not clean or treat the surface; the rust patina is part of the design and will develop naturally
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport before installation
- Confirm the final size and base detail with the workshop before production begins
