Problems It Solves
What It Fixes on the Line

- A home exterior that needs a distinctive feature but has no room for large figurative work
- Off-the-shelf animal sculptures that come in fixed sizes and do not match the site
- Materials that degrade quickly in outdoor conditions, requiring frequent maintenance
- A commission based on a photo or sketch without a technical drawing
Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow shell formed from stainless steel plate over a mould, shaped into the swan form
- Two halves welded together and ground smooth to hide the joint
- Surface polished to mirror, brushed, or painted finish from the same base shell
- Available in #304 or #316 stainless steel, or corten steel for a weathered look
- Custom diameter as standard, not as a special order
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- #304 stainless steel for general outdoor garden use
- #316 stainless steel where salt exposure or coastal conditions are a factor
- Corten steel for a weathered, rusted appearance that develops over time
- Mirror polish to reflect the garden, sky, and surrounding environment
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Painting for colour integration into the landscape design
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the garden or courtyard setting, including scale and orientation
- Small clay or model built and scaled up to the final size with internal support
- Plaster mould taken from the model for consistent shaping
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to form the shell
- Surface treated with mirror polish, brushed finish, or paint
- Welded assembly and final fitting on site, with joint finished to match the surface
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 final finish ensures a smooth, consistent surface
- Wooden case packing protects the polished surface during transport
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Available in 80 cm, 90 cm, 110 cm, or any custom diameter to fit the space
- Mirror, brushed, or painted finish selected to suit the garden or architectural scheme

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel swan | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass swan | Fibreglass is lighter and lower cost at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable outdoors |
| A corten steel swan | Corten changes over time with rust; this piece offers a stable, reflective surface that does not alter |
| A bronze swan | Bronze is heavier and more expensive; stainless steel offers similar longevity with lower maintenance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden space, not the catalogue listing
- Place the swan where it has a clear view of sky, grass, or planting to reflect
- Ensure the base and fixing are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean mirror surfaces with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Select #316 stainless steel if the garden is near the coast or exposed to road salt
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus sea freight from the installation date
