Materials
Body Materials and Where Each One Suits
- 304 stainless steel for general outdoor garden use
- 316 stainless steel where the garden is near coastal areas or exposed to de-icing salts
- Mirror polish to reflect the garden, sky, and movement around it
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor handling marks
- Painting where the design calls for a non-reflective, coloured surface
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the garden space and intended visual effect
- Small clay model created and scaled up to full size with internal support structure
- Plaster mould taken from the model to guide metal forming
- Plate metal forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to shape the form
- Surface polished, brushed, or sprayed after welding and shaping
- Welded assembly and final finishing done before packing and delivery
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 before surface treatment ensures a smooth base
- Inner plastic or foam packing protects the surface during transit
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Any size to specification; the company states spheres from 25 mm to 10 m, and this applies to animal forms
- Mirror, brushed, or painted finish from the same base shell
- 304 or 316 stainless steel selected based on the garden’s exposure
- Ordered from a photograph or a drawing supplied by the customer
- Base and fixing detail designed to suit the garden surface and wind load
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted mild steel animal sculpture | Painted steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel maintains its finish permanently |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass animal sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A corten steel animal sculpture | Corten changes over time with weathering; this stainless steel piece maintains a consistent reflective surface |
| A bronze animal sculpture | Bronze develops a patina and requires maintenance; stainless steel retains its original finish without change |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden’s scale, not on a standard catalogue size
- Place the sculpture where it has a clear view of sky, planting, or a path to reflect
- Ensure the base and fixing are sized for wind load, especially at larger diameters
- Clean the 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 experiences winter salting
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production plus 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
