- 316 stainless steel for environments with salt air, de-icing, or high humidity
- Mirror polish to reflect the garden, sky and surrounding architecture
- Brushed finishing to reduce glare and hide minor handling marks
- Hollow construction to reduce weight at large diameters
Manufacturing Process
How the Part Is Made
- Scheme design based on the garden or public space, including form, scale and finish
- Small model created and scaled up to full size with internal support structure
- Plaster mould taken from the model to shape the steel plate
- Steel plate forged to the mould and ground repeatedly to form the shell
- Surface polished to mirror or brushed finish, or sprayed with paint if required
- Welded assembly and installation on site, with joint finished to match the surface
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 polishing ensures a smooth, consistent finish
- Inner plastic or foam protection inside the wooden crate prevents surface damage
Customization
What Can Be Changed to Suit You
- Available in sizes from 3 to 9 meters, with custom dimensions possible on request

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel bird sculpture | Painted mild steel is cheaper initially but requires repainting; stainless steel maintains its finish without maintenance |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass bird sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and less expensive at large sizes but cannot be mirror polished and is better suited for indoor use |
| A corten steel bird sculpture | Corten is chosen for its weathering effect; this stainless steel bird is chosen for a consistent, reflective surface that does not change |
| A bronze bird sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time; stainless steel maintains its original appearance, which is preferred for consistent visual impact |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the size based on the garden’s scale, not on catalogue stock
- Place the sculpture where it has a meaningful view—sky, planting, or a building facade
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for wind load, especially at sizes over 6 meters
- 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 exposed to de-icing salts
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
Questions Buyers Ask
Stainless Steel Outdoor Metal Bird Garden Sculpture Questions
What size is this stainless steel bird sculpture and can it be made larger?
The listed size range for this piece is 3 to 9 meters, and like most of this catalogue it is also made to custom size. The company states stainless steel sculptures from 25 mm up to 10 m in diameter or height.
Which stainless steel grade will I get?
This sculpture is made in #304 or #316 stainless steel. Tell us whether the garden is near the coast or exposed to salt in winter and we will confirm which grade suits the exposure.
Mirror, brushed or painted finish?
All three finishes are available for this piece. Mirror gives the strongest reflection, brushed reduces glare and hides handling marks, and painting is used where the scheme calls for colour.

In an outer standard wooden crate with inner protection in plastic or foam, which is what keeps the polished surface intact during transit.
