Product Overview
We start from your concept or drawing. There are two ways to put a pattern into a large steel ball, and the choice depends on whether the pattern repeats.
3D laser cutting suits uniform patterns, for example evenly spaced flowers or leaves. Every element comes out sharp with no burrs at the edge, which matters when guests and children touch the sphere. Hand crafting suits complicated or random art elements, where our workers cut precisely to your drawing and can give the elements a three dimensional quality.
Surface finishing happens after cutting: mirror polished, sandblasted, spray plated or titanium electroplated. LED kits can be fitted inside so the sphere throws coloured light through the cut pattern after dark. One sphere, two effects.
Key Benefits
- 1200mm Garden Art Steel Ball.
- Durable AISI304 stainless steel alloy hand crafted with electroplating bronze finished.
- MOQ:1PCS.
- Delivery Time:12days for Scheduled production.
Application Scenarios
- Residential and municipal landscape
- Hotel gardens and entrances
- Public squares
- Night-lit garden features
Who It Is For
- Municipal landscape departments
- Residential developers and their landscape consultants
- Hotels and resorts specifying night lighting
- Artists with a pattern drawing
Problems It Solves
- Cut edges on a touchable sculpture. Laser cutting leaves no burrs and hand cut edges are ground.
- A daytime sculpture that disappears at night. An internal LED kit turns the cut pattern into a light show.
- Complex artwork that a laser cannot follow. Hand crafting takes over where the pattern is irregular.
Technical Features
- Diameter: 1200mm
- Surface finish options: Electroplated
- Alloy: 304 stainless steel
- Drilling and tapping in metric and unified threads on request
- Base plates, pedestal tubes and hanging fittings fabricated with the piece
- Sheet development calculated in house, so non-standard sizes are possible above ∅200mm

Materials
We form spheres and hemispheres in AISI 304, AISI 316 and AISI 316L stainless steel, Q235 carbon steel, H62 brass alloy and A6061 aluminium alloy. The alloy decides corrosion resistance, weight and how the surface takes a polish.
For this product the standard specification is 304 stainless steel. Tell us the site conditions and we will confirm whether a different grade is worth the cost.
Manufacturing Process
Forming happens by stamping press, water pressuring, spinning or hand assembling. Two halves are joined at the equator, the weld is ground, and the surface is finished last, after any cutting or drilling has been done.
Quality Control
Incoming material
Alloy and sheet thickness are checked against the order before any blank is cut.
Forming check
Diameter and wall are measured after pressing, spinning or water pressuring.
Weld and grind
The equator weld is inspected, then welds and burrs are ground off before finishing.
Surface inspection
Every piece is inspected for scratches, dents and polish consistency under light.
Packing
Protective packing is built around the diameter and weight, and photographs are sent before dispatch.
Customisation Options
- Diameter and wall thickness to your drawing, with no mould limit above ∅200mm
- Metric and unified threaded holes, drilled apertures and perforated patterns
- Welded base tubes, base plates, internal ribs and pedestals
- Mirror, brushed, sandblasted, etched, electroplated, PVD colour or spray painted finishes
- Logos, lettering and world maps by sandblasting, etching, laser cutting or plasma cutting
- LED kits fitted inside the sphere
- Segmentation into quarters or eighths for sizes above container limits

Comparing forming routes rather than products? The process guide sets out size, thickness, seam and mould limit for each.
Use Guide
Confirm the diameter first
Diameter drives the forming route, the wall thickness, the price and the freight mode. Settle it before anything else.
Match the alloy to the site
304 inland, 316 near salt water or pools, Q235 where a rust patina is wanted, brass or aluminium where weight or colour matters.
Choose the finish last
Finishing always happens after forming, welding, cutting and grinding, so pattern edges stay clean.
Plan the fixing
Tell us whether the piece is bolted, threaded, welded to a base tube or suspended, and we build the fitting into the part.
Check the shipping limit
∅2200mm fits a container, ∅3500mm fits a flat rack, and larger spheres are segmented with bolted ribs.
