Garden sculpture buying guide for retailers.
How to choose garden sculptures that sell, ship well and keep their finish.
Choosing garden sculptures for a store or catalogue means balancing look, price, weight and quality. This guide sets out the questions worth asking before you commit to a range.
- A spread of sizes, from giftable pieces to statement sculptures
- Subjects your customers already look for, such as animals, birds and wildlife
- A clear price ladder across the range
- A few exclusive pieces that competitors cannot copy
Ask to see how a manufacturer inspects:
- Surface imperfections and scratches
- Pinholes and casting quality
- Finishing consistency from piece to piece
- Assembly and dimensions
- Packaging suitable for export
Looking at a piece under bright light is a simple way to reveal surface defects that are hard to see otherwise.
Material changes weight, and weight changes freight and handling costs. Compare aluminium and cast iron options early so the landed cost works for your price point.
If the standard range does not give you the difference you want, custom development or private label lets you build pieces around your own customers, finishes and packaging.
