What This Piece Is
A custom-designed corten steel outdoor garden waterfall fountain built to your specified size, curvature and height. The sculpture uses corten steel, which develops a stable rust patina over time, giving it a natural, weathered appearance that blends with planting and landscape features. Kapur Sculpture fabricates it from your photo, drawing or 3D file, and inspects it at every stage from production to loading on the vessel. Each piece ships in a standard wooden crate with inner plastic or foam protection for ocean freight.
Key Benefits
- Corten steel develops a stable rust patina over time, creating a natural, weathered look that suits outdoor gardens and planting areas
- Made to your custom size, curvature and height so it fits the actual site dimensions and sightlines
- No paint or coating required—patina forms naturally and remains stable in outdoor conditions
- Built from your photo, drawing or 3D file so your design concept is reproduced directly
- Inspected at every stage with digital photos supplied before shipment
- Packed in a standard wooden crate with plastic or foam lining to survive ocean freight
Buyers and Specifiers
- Landscape architects designing garden features with a natural, weathered material palette
- Property and hotel developers commissioning outdoor art that complements the site’s planting
- Public art commissioners for parks and civic spaces needing durable, low-maintenance installations
- Interior designers sourcing large outdoor features for villa or resort courtyards
- Garden and plaza project managers needing a custom piece that fits a specific footprint
What It Fixes
- Fixed catalogue sizes rarely fit a real garden site so the piece is made to your exact dimensions
- Painted or coated steel fades and requires recoating, while corten steel develops a stable patina naturally
- Buyers cannot inspect an overseas factory so digital photos are supplied at each stage
- Large sculptures are damaged in transit so each piece ships in a wooden crate with foam or plastic lining
- Designs from a sketch or photo are often rejected by suppliers, but Kapur accepts custom input directly
- Corten steel is often misunderstood—this piece is made with the correct material and process to ensure proper patina development

- OEM and ODM orders accepted
- Waterfall flow path and water channel design can be adjusted to your layout
Ordering and Care
- Send the site dimensions, viewing angle and a reference photo or drawing when you enquire
- Confirm the installation location to ensure the corten steel will develop patina properly (avoid sheltered or very dry areas)
- Prepare a level concrete foundation matched to the base plate drawing supplied
- Allow crane access on the installation day for a tall or heavy piece
- Avoid abrasive cleaning tools—rinse with water and wipe with a soft cloth if needed
- Do not apply sealants or coatings—patina forms naturally and will stabilize over time
How It Compares With Other Options
An honest read on the trade-offs, so the material decision is made before fabrication starts.
| Stainless steel sculpture | Stainless steel stays bright and reflective, while corten steel develops a warm, natural rust patina that blends with planting and soil |
|---|---|
| Fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper to ship and takes any colour, but it does not develop a natural weathered look and may degrade under UV exposure |
| Painted carbon steel | Painted steel requires recoating and is prone to chipping, while corten steel forms a stable patina without maintenance |
| Bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a green patina over time and is heavier, while corten steel offers a more industrial, earthy tone with lower material cost |

Questions About This Sculpture
Can you make this in a size that is not listed?
Yes. Size is custom on this piece, and both curvature and height are made to your drawing. Send your dimensions and we will confirm feasibility and price.
How long does production and shipping take?
Production takes 25-30 days and ocean transport a further 15-20 days. Some items are held in stock, which shortens the production window.
Should I choose corten steel or stainless steel?
Choose corten steel for a natural, weathered look that blends with gardens and planting. Choose stainless steel if you want a bright, reflective finish that stays unchanged.
Can you work from my own design?
Yes. Orders are accepted from your photo or drawing, and OEM and ODM work is welcome. Send a 3D file, a sketch or detail pictures and our design team will work from it.
How is the sculpture packed for sea freight?
Each piece ships in an outer standard wooden crate with plastic or foam lining inside to protect the surface during handling.
Can I inspect the sculpture before it ships?
Yes. Our QC team inspects at all stages up to loading on the vessel and supplies digital pictures, and your own QC team is welcome to check quality in our factory.
Do you supply a certificate or load calculation?
Certification and structural documentation are confirmed per project. Tell us what your local authority requires when you send the enquiry.
