Modern Garden Outdoor Large Metal Stainless Steel Decor Dandelion Botanical Form
Modern Garden Outdoor Large Metal Stainless Steel Decor Dandelion Botanical Form is a stainless steel botanical form built to order in our Shenzhen workshop.
Product Overview
What This Piece Is
Modern Garden Outdoor Large Metal Stainless Steel Decor Dandelion Botanical Form is a stainless steel botanical form built to order in our Shenzhen workshop.
Botanical forms tie a sculpture into planting, so the piece belongs in the landscape rather than being dropped into it.
Stainless steel is the workhorse of outdoor sculpture because it carries its own corrosion resistance instead of relying on a coating.
The minimum order is one piece, the size is set by your drawing rather than by a catalogue, oem and odm work is accepted under your own branding.

Key Benefits
Why Buyers Specify This Piece
- Fabricated in stainless steel, so the surface you approve is the surface that stays, with no paint film to fail.
- Height, width and base detail for this botanical form are set from your drawing, so it is proportioned to the space instead of being the nearest standard size.
- One botanical form is a full order. A single project in gardens and courtyards does not have to wait for a container quantity.
- At large scale this botanical form is trial assembled in the workshop, then split into transportable sections with the joints placed where they will not be seen.
- Botanical forms tie a sculpture into planting, so the piece belongs in the landscape rather than being dropped into it.
- The crate is built around the finished geometry of this botanical form, with foam contact on every finished face.
- Because the stainless steel is worked and finished in the same building, one team owns the surface from the first cut to the last pass.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
Set on a lawn, in a planting bed or on a courtyard paving grid, on a concrete pad or a levelled base plate.
Who It Is For
The People Who Order This
- Private clients commissioning a single finished botanical form for gardens and courtyards
- Architects matching a botanical form to a material palette that already uses stainless steel
- Facility and estate managers replacing a tired feature in gardens and courtyards with something that needs no repainting
- Landscape architects specifying a finished botanical form as the focal piece for gardens and courtyards
Problems It Solves
What This Piece Removes From the Project
- Coated sculptures fade and flake where sun and rain hit hardest. Stainless steel removes that maintenance line from the budget.
- Large botanical forms are often quoted without the base, the fixings or the crate, and the budget moves after the order. Those are quoted up front here.
- Freight damage to a finished surface is the most common way a botanical form project goes wrong. The crate is built around the geometry rather than bought as a standard box.
- A botanical form specified late has to fit dimensions that are already fixed. Working from your drawing means the piece adapts instead of the scheme.
Technical Features
How It Is Constructed
- Multiple element assembly with each stem or leaf located from the same base
- Fabricated throughout in stainless steel with matching filler where the material is welded
- Internal frame sized to this botanical form rather than taken from a standard section list
- Base plate and anchor pattern for the botanical form issued as a drawing before the foundation is poured

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
Compared with Cast stone or GRC
Cast stone reads heavy and chips on the edges. Stainless steel gives a thinner profile, a cleaner line and a surface that survives handling.
Compared with A cast or moulded reproduction
A reproduction repeats a fixed size. This botanical form is built to your dimensions, which is the whole reason to commission one.
Compared with Buying through a trading company
A trader passes drawings along and adds a margin. Here the botanical form is drawn and built by the same people you are talking to.
Use Guide
Looking After It Once It Is Installed
- Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth
- Neutral detergent for marks and fingerprints
- Keep iron filings and construction dust off the surface
- No abrasive pads on finished faces

How to Choose the Right Size for a Garden Sculpture
The single most common regret is a piece that is too small. Here is how to get the scale right before anything is fabricated.

Foundations and Fixings for Outdoor Sculpture
The base plate and the anchor pattern cause more delays on site than anything else. They are also the easiest part to get right in advance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this be made in a different size
Yes. Modern Garden Outdoor Large Metal Stainless Steel Decor Dandelion Botanical Form is made to order, so the height and width are set from your drawing or from the dimensions of the space. Send the position and the height you have in mind and the quotation follows those figures.
What is the minimum order quantity
One piece. There is no container minimum, which is why single projects in gardens and courtyards are a normal part of the workload here.
Why stainless steel rather than something cheaper
Stainless steel is the workhorse of outdoor sculpture because it carries its own corrosion resistance instead of relying on a coating. Coated sculptures fade and flake where sun and rain hit hardest. Stainless steel removes that maintenance line from the budget.
How is a botanical form this size packed and shipped
A plywood crate is built around the finished geometry with foam on every finished face. Large botanical forms are split into sections at joints chosen during design, trial assembled in the workshop, then marked so they go back together in the same order on site.
What do you need from me to quote
The position, the height or overall size you want, and any drawing, render or reference photograph you already have. For gardens and courtyards a photograph of the space is often enough to start.
What is the lead time
Lead time depends on the size of the botanical form, the surface finish and how much design work it needs, so it is confirmed with the quotation rather than promised in advance. Send the brief and the schedule comes back with the price.
