Outdoor statues, things to consider
A wide range of materials go into making statues, and these range from the more natural materials such as stone, wood and terracotta to the more resilient ones such as metal and resin. Generally stone statues have an inherent appeal and a natural feel. Metal statues lend an ethnic feel, and large metal pieces are more appropriate in open areas where their beauty can be fully appreciated. Other climate resistant material, such as resin and cast stone, help make the chosen statues look new and easier to safeguard. Aging and Stone Statues While metal and wood statues have their intrinsic value, the commonest material used in garden statues is stone.
