Landscape architects and brand owners are shifting from traditional materials to stainless steel for its unmatched durability and modern aesthetic. Unlike cast iron, which rusts, or resin, which degrades under UV light, a premium stainless steel sphere garden ornament offers a lifetime of visual appeal with minimal maintenance.
