The Aterno 56cm Polished Steel Sphere Water Feature sits between our compact 45cm sphere and larger statement models, making it an excellent choice for patios, landscaped borders and medium-sized gardens where the feature needs to have clear visual presence without dominating the space.

Made from grade 304 stainless steel, its highly polished surface reflects the sky, surrounding planting and architecture. Water emerges from the top and travels across the curved steel surface, continually changing the reflections while producing a gentle sound of running water.

The reservoir installs below ground and can be covered with decorative pebbles, leaving the polished sphere as the main visible element. Water continuously recirculates through the feature, so no permanent water supply is required.

WHY CHOOSE THE 56CM ATERNO?

A useful balance between compact and statement scale.

The 56cm gives significantly more visual presence than the 45cm while remaining easy to incorporate into most domestic garden designs.

01 MORE PRESENCE

A stronger garden focal point

The larger diameter works particularly well on patios and within landscaped planting where a smaller sphere could become visually lost.

02 MIRROR FINISH

Reflects its surroundings

The polished stainless steel picks up surrounding plants, buildings, paving and sky, allowing the appearance of the sphere to change throughout the day.

03 WATER & LIGHT

Designed for day and evening

Water flows across the curved steel surface while the included white LED illuminates the water as it emerges from the top after dark.

PREFER EVERYTHING ABOVE GROUND?

Choose the 56cm sphere with a matching steel base.

The same 56cm polished sphere is also available with its reservoir concealed inside a matching stainless-steel base. It creates a taller freestanding feature and removes the need to excavate a reservoir — particularly useful on patios and finished surfaces.

COMPARE THE ATERNO RANGE

Is 56cm the right size for your garden?

The 56cm Aterno is a strong all-round domestic size. Choose the 45cm where space is restricted, or move up to 75cm or 100cm where the sphere will sit within substantial planting, a larger patio or be viewed from further away.

OUR SIZING TIP

The 56cm is a particularly versatile size for a domestic garden. If you are deciding between the 56cm and 75cm and have sufficient surrounding space, the 75cm will create the stronger focal point. For tighter courtyards and positions close to seating, the 45cm may be more proportionate.
