Stainless steel water basin for the garden

A Garden fountain made of stainless steel is a real eye-catcher in the garden. It can be particularly nicely presented as a decorative pond with a water feature. In addition to a water point, you can set many other shiny accents made of similar materials in the green area.

Stainless steel garden decoration

Garden decorations made of stainless steel or Corten steel, the weatherproof structural steel, give your garden a stylish ambience and attract attention. In addition to steel pools, climbing aids, plug-in fences, lights or stainless steel garden plugs can be harmoniously integrated into the garden.

Wind chimes and water objects with beautifully curved metal bands and round, shiny balls add to the special green space style. There is even stainless steel garden furniture and flower beds that add a futuristic feel to your outdoor space.

Advantages and disadvantages of precious metal outdoors

The advantages of steel lie in its robustness. Garden furniture or a stainless steel water basin can also be left outside in winter. Weather influences cannot cause any damage to the objects. The material is also easy to clean.

The downside is that the shiny material looks cold and futuristic. You can mitigate this effect by combining different materials. For example, place the stainless steel basin on a table made of natural stone. Or choose garden furniture with metal feet and a rattan seat that you can cover with colorful cushions.

Table tops made of stainless steel are very dazzling in direct sunlight, so a tablecloth is always necessary when the weather is nice. Alternatively, choose models with a matt, processed surface that is no longer reflective. The material also heats up strongly, without a support it is almost impossible to support arms or seats if the sun has shone on it beforehand.

Alternatives to the steel water basin

Instead of the precious metal, it makes sense to make a water basin out of concrete or plastic in a tasteful way. Concrete has the advantage that you can choose your desired size and shape yourself. In addition, like stainless steel, this material is almost indestructible.

Over time, concrete surfaces moss and blend in well with the green garden image. You can make concrete elements visually more attractive by decorating and decorating them with natural stones.

Plastic water basins are now on the market as mass-produced goods, while stainless steel basins take a long time to look for. You can partially create plastic water basins above the ground by bricking them up with natural stone. As a rule, however, they are more likely to be found buried in the ground, like pond liners.

However, plastic water basins are not as durable. High freezing temperatures make the plastic brittle and excessive exposure to the sun causes the material to fade.

Many gardens are now adorned with stainless steel water basins, because they are extremely robust, weather-resistant and offer a particularly attractive look in terms of shape and material. However, they have to spend a little more money for this. In return, you save yourself time-consuming cleaning. If you like the somewhat sterile and cool look, the stainless steel version is a good choice.
