Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sphere | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently, making it better for long-term outdoor installations |
|---|---|
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathered, rusted appearance over time; this mirror sphere is chosen for a clean, reflective surface that does not change |
| A fiberglass sphere | Fiberglass is lighter and less expensive at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is more suitable for indoor use |
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; this stainless steel sphere is intended to remain reflective and unchanged |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the garden’s scale, not a standard size from a catalogue
- Place the sphere where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, water, or architecture
- Ensure the foundation and fixing system are designed 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 exposed to winter de-icing salts
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the factory to the site
