- 304 for general garden use or 316 where coastal exposure or de-icing chemicals are a factor
- Custom size ensures the sculpture fits the exact dimensions of the garden space
- Polished surface resists corrosion and maintains appearance without repainting
- Wooden crate with inner plastic or foam packing protects the finish during transit
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed

- Corrosion resistance that ensures long-term appearance in outdoor settings
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the garden space, including form, scale and finish
- Small model created and scaled up to the final size with internal support designed
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the metal shell

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel may cost less initially but requires repainting over time; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten changes over time with weathering; this mirror finish is chosen to remain consistent and reflective |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is less durable outdoors |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; this piece is intended to remain reflective and unchanged |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden’s scale, not on a standard catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, water, or architecture
- Ensure the base and fixing are sized 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 in winter
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production, plus 15 to 20 days for transport, from order to installation
