Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel garden sphere | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass garden sphere | Fibreglass is lighter and lower cost but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is less durable outdoors |
| A corten steel garden sculpture | Corten changes appearance over time through weathering; this mirror sphere is chosen for a consistent, reflective surface |
| A solid metal sphere | Hollow construction reduces weight and material cost while maintaining visual impact at large sizes |
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 sphere where it has something worth reflecting: trees, sky, or architectural elements
- 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 experiences winter salting
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the date the garden is ready
