Steel Water Features
Steel Water Features for your Garden
I've always thought steel brings its own quiet beauty to gardens. These water features play with light in a way that makes you notice different things through the day - early sun might catch droplets running down bright surfaces, while evening light turns them soft and pearly. Each one's made from proper steel that keeps its looks without much fuss.
Mind you, they need placing thoughtfully. We've found they sit rather nicely where you can hear them from a chair or bench - just enough water sound to make you pause with your tea. The modern ones have such clean lines about them, but they settle into gardens surprisingly well, especially when plants soften their edges.
If your garden's asking for something with water in it, take a look through our complete range of Water Features for your garden. You might spot just what that quiet corner's been needing.
Steel Water Features for the Garden
There's something rather smart about steel in a garden. Our water features bring clean lines and bright surfaces that sit nicely alongside old stone and soft planting. They work particularly well near Stone Bird Baths, where the contrast makes both pieces look rather special.
We use proper stainless steel - grade 304 if you're interested in the technical bits - which means they stay bright through British weather. Each piece brings its own character, from simple spheres that catch light beautifully, to tall columns that make gentle water sounds. Some gardeners pop them near Stone Fountains for an interesting mix of old and new.
The newer designs with both fire and water need seeing to believe - quite something on summer evenings. They gracefully compliment any Stone Garden Statues, especially when the light's going soft in the evening, and the water catches the flames.
Looking After Steel Water Features
Keeping them bright takes little effort - just an occasional wipe with proper cleaner keeps limescale at bay. Most gardeners give them a good clean in spring, then just top up water through summer. They cope well with winter too, though it's wise to empty them if frost's coming.
One nice thing about steel - it doesn't green up like copper or bronze. The surface stays bright year after year, making light dance across your patio or lawn. A bit of morning sun brings out their best, though they look rather fine catching evening light too.
