It is intended to stand in a garden space where it can catch movement and change throughout the day. The size is custom, and the listed production time is 25 to 30 days.

Key Benefits
What This Nozzle Gives You
- A mirror finish reflects the garden, sky and surrounding planting, making the sculpture dynamic over time
- Brushed finishing reduces glare and hides handling marks while maintaining a refined look
- Painting allows for colour integration into the garden scheme without relying on reflection
- 304 stainless steel for general garden exposure or 316 where coastal or salty conditions are present
- Corten steel option for a weathered, natural appearance that evolves over time
- Custom size means the sculpture fits the exact space, not the other way around
Application Scenarios

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel dandelion | Painted steel is cheaper but requires repainting; stainless holds its finish and is better suited for permanent outdoor use |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass dandelion | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is not durable in direct outdoor exposure |
| A corten steel dandelion | Corten changes over time with a natural rust patina; stainless maintains a consistent reflective surface |
| A bronze dandelion | Bronze is heavier and more expensive; stainless offers similar visual impact with lower weight and maintenance |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden space, not a standard catalogue dimension
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, grass, water or planting
- Use 316 stainless steel if the garden is near a coastal area or exposed to de-icing salts
- Avoid abrasive cleaners on mirror surfaces; use water and a soft cloth only
- Plan for 25 to 30 days production time plus shipping from the installation date
- Design the base and fixing to handle wind load, especially at larger diameters
