Stainless Steel Sculpture
Painted Stainless Steel Life Size Metal Horse Sculpture
A life size painted stainless steel horse sculpture is designed to stand in an outdoor public space, where its form and colour become part of the surrounding environment. The piece is made from a hollow 304 or 316 stainless steel body, shaped into a standing horse with a painted finish that holds its colour over time. The listed size is custom size, and like almost every item in this catalogue, it is made to any dimension on request. It is intended for placement in gardens, squares, shopping malls, or hotel forecourts, where it acts as a focal point with a strong visual presence.

- Custom size means the sculpture fits the space, not the other way around
- Painted surface allows for bold colour schemes without relying on reflection
- Wooden crate with inner plastic or foam packing protects the finish in transit
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed

Technical Features
How It Is Built
- Hollow body formed from 304 or 316 stainless steel plate, shaped to a life size horse form
- Painted surface applied after shaping and welding, which holds colour and resists weathering
- Welds ground and finished to reduce visibility, with the paint covering any minor imperfections
- Custom diameter and height possible, as the company states it can make any shape and height
- Designed for outdoor use with materials chosen for corrosion and temperature resistance
- Assembled and finished in the workshop before packing and shipping
Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor exposure in urban or suburban areas
- 316 stainless steel where coastal air, road salt, or de-icing chemicals are present
- Painted finish that resists fading and holds colour over time in direct sunlight
- Hollow construction that reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity
- Stainless steel body that resists corrosion and high temperature exposure
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design against the site, which sets the scale, pose, and colour of the horse
- Small model created and scaled up to life size, with internal support structure designed
- Plate formed over a mould to match the shape, with welding at key joints
- Welds ground and smoothed before the surface is painted to ensure even coverage
- Paint applied in multiple coats to match the desired colour and finish
- Final assembly and packing in a wooden crate with inner plastic or foam for protection
Quality Control
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- The company states it runs its own professional QC team
- Welds are ground and finished to reduce visibility before painting
- Paint is applied evenly and tested for adhesion and coverage
- Packing includes inner plastic or foam to prevent surface contact during transit
- Final inspection before dispatch ensures no damage or finish defects
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size and height to specification, as the company states it can make any shape and height
- Paint colour chosen to match a reference or scheme, not limited to standard options
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on the site’s exposure conditions
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the installation site and load requirements
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A bronze horse sculpture | Bronze has a natural patina that changes over time; painted stainless steel holds its colour and is easier to maintain in outdoor settings |
|---|---|
| A fibreglass horse sculpture | Fibreglass is lighter and cheaper at large scale but cannot be made with a durable painted finish that resists UV and weathering |
| A painted mild steel horse | Painted mild steel requires repainting every few years; stainless steel with paint resists corrosion and holds its finish longer |
| A mirror polished stainless steel horse | A mirror finish reflects the environment and can be distracting; a painted finish focuses attention on the form and colour |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the space it will occupy, not on a standard catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has a clear view from the main approach or circulation path
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or uses road salt in winter
- Avoid abrasive cleaners on the painted surface; use water and a soft cloth for maintenance
- Plan for 25-30 days production plus 15-20 days transport when scheduling the installation
- Ensure the base and fixing detail are sized for wind load and ground stability at large scale
