- Wooden crate with inner plastic or foam packing protects the surface during transit
- 25 to 30 days production time, with 15 to 20 days transport, offering a clear timeline
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
- A private garden where a single abstract form adds visual interest without dominating the planting
- A residential courtyard that needs a modern focal point between lawn and hardscape
- A public garden path where the sculpture stands as a subtle landmark
- An urban garden terrace where the matte surface blends with stone and greenery
- A garden feature near a water feature, where the reflection is soft and non-distracting

Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed by shaping plate over a mould and welding two hemispheres
- Weld joint ground and finished to match the matte surface, not left proud
- 304 or 316 stainless steel body, selected based on environmental exposure
- Matte finish applied after welding and polishing, consistent across the entire surface
- Custom diameter as standard, with no additional cost for non-standard sizes
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general garden exposure in temperate climates
- 316 stainless steel for gardens near coastal areas or where de-icing salts are used
- Matte finish that minimizes reflection and avoids glare in bright sunlight
- Stainless steel’s corrosion resistance ensures long-term durability in outdoor conditions
- Hollow construction reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the garden space, considering scale, placement and light
- Small clay or plaster model created and scaled up to the intended size
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the metal plate
- Plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to form the hemispherical shell
- Surface treated with a matte finish after welding and polishing
- Welded assembly and final inspection before packing and shipping
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Weld joint is ground and finished to match the matte surface, not left visible
- Repeated grinding ensures a uniform surface before the final finish
- Inner plastic or foam protection inside the wooden crate prevents scratches during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter to specification; the company states spheres from 25 mm to 10 m
- Matte finish applied to the entire surface, consistent with the base shell
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on the garden’s exposure conditions
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the garden’s ground type and wind load
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A mirror polished stainless steel sphere | A matte finish reduces glare and avoids harsh reflections, making it better suited to gardens with changing light and close human interaction |
|---|---|
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel may chip or fade over time; stainless with a matte finish maintains its appearance without maintenance |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten changes over time with weathering; a matte stainless steel piece remains consistent in appearance |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be finished with a true matte metal surface and is less durable outdoors |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the garden’s scale, not a standard size from a catalogue
- Place the sculpture where it has space to be seen and where light falls evenly across the surface
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for the garden’s ground type and wind load
- Clean the matte surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the garden is near the sea or regularly treated with de-icing salts
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
