Stainless Steel Sculpture
Unique popular fishes sculpture for water

The piece is made in 304 or 316 stainless steel, with a listed size range of 3 to 9 meters, and can be built to any dimension within that range. It is intended to stand in or near water, where its polished surface captures the ripple of light and the flow of water, creating a living image that changes with the environment. The production window is 25 to 30 days, with transport taking 15 to 20 days after production.

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel fish sculpture | Painted steel may cost less initially but requires repainting every few years; stainless steel holds its finish permanently in wet environments |
|---|---|
| A fiberglass fish sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror and is more prone to cracking in outdoor use |
| A bronze fish sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time, which may not suit a modern water feature; stainless steel maintains a consistent reflective surface |
| A corten steel fish sculpture | Corten steel is chosen for its weathered appearance; this piece is chosen for its clean, reflective surface that changes with light and water |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Choose the diameter based on the size of the water feature, not a catalogue standard
- Position the sculpture where it has water and sky to reflect, enhancing its visual impact
- Ensure the base and fixing are designed for water flow and potential wave action
- Clean the surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Use 316 stainless steel if the water feature is near the sea or exposed to de-icing salts
- Plan 25 to 30 days for production and 15 to 20 days for transport from the order date
