Stainless Steel Sculpture
Metal Decorative Stainless Steel Garden Sculpture
A custom stainless steel garden sculpture is designed for outdoor landscapes, where it acts as a focal point in a garden, courtyard or public green space. This piece is made from 304 or 316 stainless steel, finished in a brushed surface that reduces glare and highlights the form without reflecting the surroundings. The listed size is custom size, and like almost every item in this catalogue, it is made to any diameter or height on request. The body is hollow, formed from plate over a mould, and assembled with welded joints that are ground and polished to match the brushed finish. It is packed in an outer wooden crate with inner plastic or foam protection and delivered factory direct with door to door service.

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A mirror polished stainless steel sculpture | A mirror finish reflects the environment, which may distract from the form; a brushed finish focuses attention on the shape and texture |
|---|---|
| A painted mild steel sculpture | Painted steel requires repainting every few years; stainless holds its finish permanently, reducing long-term maintenance |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten changes over time with weathering; this brushed stainless piece maintains a consistent appearance |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be brushed and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden space, not on a standard catalogue dimension
- Place the sculpture where it is visible from key viewing points, such as a path or window
- Use 316 stainless steel if the garden is near the sea or exposed to winter de-icing
- Avoid abrasive cleaners on the brushed surface; use water and a soft cloth only
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
- Confirm the base and fixing method with the site conditions and wind load
