Silver Polished Stainless Steel Garden Whale Tail Sculpture
A silver polished stainless steel whale tail sculpture is designed for a garden or outdoor space where it becomes a focal point that reflects light and landscape. This abstract form, shaped like a whale’s tail, is made from a hollow shell of 304 or 316 stainless steel, finished with a mirror polish that catches sunlight and surrounding greenery. The listed height is 800 cm, and like almost every piece in the catalogue, it is made to any custom height on request. It is intended to stand in natural environments where its reflective surface enhances the sense of place and evokes a quiet, mythical presence.

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel whale tail | Painted steel may cost less initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A corten steel whale tail | Corten changes over time with rust and weathering; this piece is chosen for a consistent, reflective surface |
| A fiberglass whale tail | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is not suitable for outdoor exposure |
| A bronze whale tail | Bronze develops a patina over time; this piece is chosen for a stable, silver reflective surface |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the height against the garden space, not against a catalogue image
- Place the sculpture where it has something to reflect: sky, trees, water or a building
- Ensure the foundation and fixing detail are sized for wind load at large heights
- 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 salt spray
- Plan 25 to 30 days production plus 15 to 20 days transport from the order date
