Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor garden exposure
- 316 stainless steel for coastal or salt-affected garden environments
- Mirror polish that reflects the surrounding garden, sky and trees
- Hollow construction that reduces weight while maintaining form at large scale
- Plastic or foam inner packing to protect the surface during transport
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the garden setting, including scale, orientation and visual impact
- Small model created and scaled up with internal support structure designed in parallel
- Plaster mould taken from the model for accurate shaping of the metal shell
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell thickness
- Surface polished to mirror finish after welding and grinding
- Final assembly and installation with base and fixing detail designed for the site
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Welds are ground and polished to be invisible, not left proud or visible
- Repeated grinding before polishing ensures a smooth, consistent surface
- Inner plastic or foam packing protects the polished surface during transit
- Wooden crate provides structural protection during sea freight and handling
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 polish, brushed or painted finish available on the same shell
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body selected based on site 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 whale sculpture | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass whale sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is not suitable for long-term outdoor exposure |
| A corten steel whale sculpture | Corten steel is chosen for its weathered, rusted appearance; this piece is chosen for its reflective, clean finish that does not change over time |
| A bronze whale sculpture | Bronze is heavier and more expensive, and requires maintenance to prevent patina changes; stainless steel offers a consistent, low-maintenance surface |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the sculpture’s size against the garden courtyard dimensions, not against a standard catalogue size
- Place the whale where it has a clear view of sky, trees, or water to maximize reflection
- Ensure the foundation and fixing detail are sized for wind load, especially at 1000 cm diameter
- 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 in winter
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the factory to the site
