About Life Size Garden Ornaments & Statues

Life-Size Garden Ornaments: Statement-Scale Pieces for a Generous Garden

Life-size garden ornaments at Backyard Bliss is the statement-scale range: the biggest pieces we carry, sized for a driveway end, a generous lawn corner or a paddock end. Twenty-eight pieces in the run, from the four-foot Life-Size Gorilla and the 1.2-metre Grand Garden Elephant to the Lifesize Zebra, the Life Size Metal Rhino, Maximus the Giant Tortoise and the Large Metal Giraffe 5ft. Cast resin, cast stone and weathered metal across the range.

The safari statement pieces

The Life-Size Gorilla Statue is the four-foot cast-resin silverback, the headline statement piece. The Life-Size Gorilla with Baby is the 1.2-metre mother-and-cub group. The Life-Size Chimp with Baby joins the primate end. The Grand Garden Elephant Statue is the 1.2-metre cast-stone elephant. The Lifesize Zebra is the weathered-metal zebra. The Life Size Metal Rhino Sculpture is the rhino in metal. Maximus the Giant Tortoise is the 2.3-foot cast-stone tortoise. The Large Metal Giraffe 5ft is the standalone giraffe.

The other statement pieces in the range

The Majestic Lion Set, the Pair of Sitting Lion Statues and Sitting Lion hold the big-cat corner. The Large March Hares Set, the Large New Bronze March Hares Set and the Large Moon-Gazing Graphite Hares Set are the statement-scale hare groupings. The XXL Balinese Buddha Statue and the Extra Large Buddha Head anchor the head-and-figure end. The Large Wooden Giraffes Set of 4 is the carved-wood family. The Large Wall Mounted Bear Head is the wall-mount piece. The Life Size Standing Bull Terrier and Life Size Johnson Bulldog hold the dog corner.

Where statement pieces sit in a garden

A piece at life-size scale wants a clear sight line and a flat pad. The Life-Size Gorilla earns a driveway corner or the far end of a generous lawn. The Grand Garden Elephant holds a planted-lawn end. The Lifesize Zebra and the Life Size Metal Rhino anchor a gravel-terrace centre. The Large Metal Giraffe 5ft suits a lawn corner where the height reads from across the garden. Maximus the Giant Tortoise wants a shaded shrub corner. The lion pieces flank a gatepost or driveway entry.

Cast resin, cast stone, metal and a wet British year

The cast-resin pieces are frost-proof with painted finishes built for freeze-thaw, holding colour through several seasons. The cast-stone pieces develop a softer lichen patina over a couple of winters. The metal pieces hold finish with a wipe twice a year, the weathered tone deepening into a more uniform finish. Statement pieces ship on a pallet rather than as a standard parcel, with a delivery date agreed in advance.

How big are these pieces?

Statement scale across the range. The Life-Size Gorilla stands a full four feet seated. The Grand Garden Elephant is 1.2 metres tall. The Large Metal Giraffe 5ft is a full five feet at the head. Maximus the Giant Tortoise is 2.3 feet long. The XXL Balinese Buddha is one metre tall and around 40 kilos. Full dimensions for each piece are on the individual product page.

How do statement pieces ship?

On a pallet rather than as a standard parcel. We are in touch before dispatch to agree a delivery date and confirm the drop spot. Once placed, two adults can usually reposition the resin pieces on a flat pad without lifting gear; the cast-stone pieces (XXL Buddha, Grand Garden Elephant) need a trolley for the initial position and a flat pad to settle on.

Where does a four-foot piece sit best?

A driveway corner, the far end of a generous lawn, a gatepost-adjacent gravel pad, or a planted-lawn centre with a few metres of clear space around it. Avoid pushing a statement piece close to seating, where the height looms over a coffee table. The eye reads the silhouette from across the garden, so the placement needs the room for the piece to land at distance.

Are the metal pieces real metal or metal-effect?

The Lifesize Zebra, the Life Size Metal Rhino Sculpture, the Large Metal Giraffe 5ft and the Life Size Metal Bull are genuine weathered-metal pieces. The Bronze Finish Guardian Gorilla and the bronze-effect bird pieces are painted resin in a weathered-bronze finish. The product page lists material for each piece.

Will statement pieces sit out through a UK winter?

Yes. Cast resin, cast stone and metal throughout, all built for freeze-thaw on damp paving without cracking. The cast-stone pieces develop a softer lichen patina that most owners come to prefer. The metal pieces deepen slightly into a more uniform weathered tone. Tip standing water off any horizontal surface before a hard frost.

Which piece is the safe-bet statement gift?

The Life-Size Gorilla Statue is the steady safe-bet for an animal-collecting recipient with a generous garden. The Grand Garden Elephant at 1.2 metres is the second pick for a buyer who wants a single anchor at planted-lawn scale. Maximus the Giant Tortoise suits a recipient with a shaded shrub corner. The Jungle Bundle pairs an elephant set with a gorilla set as one coordinated multi-piece gift.

How does this range link to the dedicated statement ranges?

The life-size range gathers the biggest pieces across subjects. The extra large gorilla range narrows to statement gorillas. The large elephant, large hare and large dragon ranges gather the biggest pieces in each subject. Use this range for the breadth, the dedicated ranges for the depth.
