About Our Metal Garden Ornaments
Metal garden ornaments add character and style to outdoor spaces across the UK. Our collection features over 200 handcrafted pieces, from contemporary sculptures to traditional animal figures. You'll find metal garden statues in various sizes, weather-resistant garden arches for climbing plants, and decorative ornamental metal gates that combine function with beauty. Most of our metal garden ornaments are crafted from powder-coated steel or cast iron, materials that withstand British weather for 15-25 years. Sizes range from compact 30cm figurines to statement pieces reaching 180cm tall. Each piece arrives with protective coating applied, though reapplication every 3-4 years extends lifespan by 40%. Free UK delivery applies to orders over £50, and all purchases include a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Choosing Metal Garden Ornaments: Quick Guide
Your choice depends on three factors: location, size, and material durability. For exposed coastal areas, stainless steel or aluminium pieces resist salt corrosion 60% better than standard steel. Garden centres across the UK stock similar ranges, but prices online typically save 25-30% compared to retail. Budget £15-£40 for smaller decorative pieces like wall plaques or plant supports. Mid-range metal garden ornaments (£50-£150) include animal statues and birdbaths that become garden focal points. Premium sculptures and large metal gazebos start from £200 and can exceed £800 for bespoke commissions. Browse our water features collection for complementary pieces that pair beautifully with metal ornaments. The best metal garden ornaments balance aesthetic appeal with practical durability. Check the gauge thickness (minimum 2mm for outdoor use) and verify the powder coating meets BS EN 13438 standards. These specifications indicate professional manufacturing quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Prices for metal garden ornaments range from £15 for small decorative pieces to £800+ for large sculptures. Most buyers spend £60-£120 on statement pieces that become garden features.

Quality metal garden ornaments resist rust for 15-25 years when properly coated. Powder-coated steel and aluminium pieces need the least maintenance. Apply rust-inhibitor spray every 3-4 years to extend lifespan by 40%. Cast iron develops a protective patina naturally, which many gardeners prefer for its authentic aged appearance.
Yes, our metal garden statues withstand British weather year-round. Powder-coated pieces resist temperatures from -20°C to 80°C without cracking or fading. Wind speeds up to 70mph won't damage properly anchored statues. Coastal locations need stainless steel or marine-grade aluminium for maximum salt resistance.
Weight varies by size and material. Small metal garden ornaments (30-50cm) weigh 2-5kg, perfect for moving seasonally. Medium statues (60-100cm) range from 8-15kg and need two people to position safely. Large sculptures over 120cm can weigh 25-40kg, requiring permanent placement. Cast iron pieces weigh approximately 30% more than equivalent steel designs.
Metal garden ornaments offer 50% lighter weight for equivalent size, making them easier to reposition. They cost 20-30% less than comparable stone pieces. Stone provides timeless aesthetic appeal and requires zero maintenance. Metal allows intricate designs impossible in stone. Your choice depends on whether you prioritise flexibility (metal) or permanent placement (stone).
Clean metal garden ornaments twice yearly using warm water and mild detergent. Avoid pressure washers, which can damage protective coatings. Soft brushes remove debris from detailed areas without scratching. Apply car wax after cleaning to repel water for 6-8 months. Remove bird droppings within 48 hours—their acidity can etch coatings if left longer.
