- Art consultants sourcing a contemporary metal sphere for a garden installation
- Garden designers integrating a durable, low-maintenance object into a long-term landscape
Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line
- A garden that lacks a central visual element and reads as empty or unfinished

- A garden with limited space for large figurative sculpture but space for a simple form
- A need for a durable outdoor sculpture that does not require repainting or maintenance
- A project with a reference image but no technical drawing, requiring fabrication from visual input
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 selected based on environmental exposure
- Mirror finish applied after welding and polishing to ensure a continuous reflective surface
- Custom diameter as standard, with no fixed size listed in the catalogue
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel suitable for general garden use in temperate climates
- 316 stainless steel recommended for coastal gardens or areas with high moisture
- Mirror polish provides a continuous reflective surface that captures the garden environment
- Plastic or foam inner packing protects the surface during transit
- Wooden crate ensures the sculpture arrives undamaged after long-distance shipping
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the garden space, including scale, placement, and environmental exposure
- Small model created and scaled up to match the intended installation size
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the hemispheres
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to achieve the spherical shape
- Weld joint ground and polished to blend with the surrounding surface
- Final mirror polish, brushing, or painting applied before packing and shipping
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 raised
- Repeated grinding ensures the surface is smooth before final finish
- Inner plastic or foam packing protects the polished surface during transport
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter to specification, with no fixed size listed in the catalogue
- Mirror, brushed, or painted finish available on the same shell
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on the garden’s exposure conditions
- Orders accepted from a photograph or a technical drawing provided by the customer
- Base and fixing details designed to suit the garden’s ground conditions and wind load
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel garden ball | Painted steel is cheaper upfront but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass garden ball | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is more prone to cracking outdoors |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten changes appearance over time through weathering; this stainless steel ball maintains a consistent reflective surface |
| A bronze garden ball | Bronze develops a patina and requires maintenance; stainless steel retains its original finish without change |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the garden’s scale, not on a standard size from a catalogue
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, or garden architecture
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed 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 salt spray
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production, plus 15 to 20 days for transport, from order to installation
