Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel bear | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass bear | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable outdoors |
| A bronze bear | Bronze is heavier and more expensive; stainless steel offers similar longevity with lower maintenance |
| A corten steel bear | Corten changes over time; stainless steel maintains its original appearance unless specified otherwise |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the bear’s size against the garden or courtyard space, not against a catalogue image
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, building walls
- 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
- Choose 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to road salt
- Plan 25 to 45 days for production, plus sea freight from the installation date
