Technical Features

- Surface finish applied after forming: mirror, brushed, or painted
- Custom size as standard, not a special order, with no fixed dimensions listed
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- #304 stainless steel for general outdoor use in urban or suburban environments
- #316 stainless steel for coastal or high-moisture areas where corrosion resistance is critical
- Corten steel for a piece that is meant to weather and develop a rusted patina over time
- Mirror polish for strong reflection of sky, plants, and people
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor surface marks
- Painting to introduce colour into the design or match a specific scheme
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design developed against the site, considering scale, location, and surrounding environment
- Small clay model created and scaled up to the intended size with internal support structure
- Plaster mould taken from the model to form the shell
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to achieve the correct shape
- Surface treated with mirror polish, brushed finish, or paint after forming
- Welded assembly and final finishing carried out on site, ensuring the joint is seamless
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 is part of the published method before surface treatment
- Wooden case packing protects the surface during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size to specification; the company states stainless steel spheres from 25 mm to 10 m in diameter
- Mirror, brushed, or painted finish applied to the same base shell
- #304 or #316 stainless steel body depending on exposure conditions
- Corten steel available as an alternative for a weathered appearance
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the installation site
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel squirrel sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting over time; stainless steel holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass squirrel sculpture | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is less durable outdoors |
| A corten steel squirrel sculpture | Corten changes over time with rust; stainless steel maintains a consistent appearance, ideal for a controlled visual effect |
| A large abstract sphere | A sphere reflects the environment uniformly; this squirrel form adds narrative and detail, suitable for a garden or park |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on a standard catalogue dimension
- Place the sculpture where it has a clear view of sky, planting, or paving to enhance its reflective or textural qualities
- Use #316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or exposed to road salt in winter
- Avoid abrasive cleaners on mirror surfaces; use water and a soft cloth for maintenance
- Plan for 25 to 30 days of production time before the installation date
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for the final location, especially in windy or high-traffic areas
