The listed size is custom size, and like most pieces in this catalogue, it is made to any diameter on request.

Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line

Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from two hemispheres over a mould and 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
- Surface finish applied after welding: mirror, brushed or painted
- Custom diameter as standard, not a special order, with no size limit beyond 25 mm to 10 m
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in non-coastal environments
- 316 stainless steel for areas with high humidity, coastal exposure, or winter de-icing
- Mirror polish to reflect the garden, sky, and surrounding plants
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Painting where a specific colour is required instead of reflective finish
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed in relation to the garden space, including form, scale, and finish
- Small clay model created and scaled up, with internal support structure designed in parallel
- Plaster mould taken from the model to guide the forging process
- Steel plate formed over the mould and ground repeatedly to build the shell thickness
- Surface treated with mirror polish, brushed finish, or paint after welding
- Final assembly and welding on site to allow for joint finishing and secure installation
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 on the finished surface
- Repeated grinding before surface treatment ensures a smooth base
- Inner plastic or foam padding protects the surface inside the wooden crate
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any diameter to specification, with the company stating spheres from 25 mm to 10 m
- Mirror, brushed, or painted finish from the same base shell
- 304 or 316 stainless steel 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 mild steel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten changes over time with weathering; this stainless piece is chosen to remain unchanged and reflective |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; this stainless steel piece is intended to keep its original surface |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the garden’s scale, not a standard catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: trees, sky, water, or architecture
- Ensure the foundation and fixing detail are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean the 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 de-icing salts
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
