Fabricated to order for architectural landscape projects, Stainless Steel Tapered Urns deliver crisp lines, reflective lustre, and enduring weather resistance. Their upward-flaring geometry captures surrounding sunlight, lush garden foliage, and architectural hardscaping, making them equally suited as standalone sculptural accents, plant vessels, or core reservoir fountains.
Each urn is constructed to order from resilient stainless steel sheeting, creating a sturdy vessel that withstands intense UV exposure, winter rains, and dry heat without rotting or cracking. The reflective metallic surface brightens shaded alfresco corners and narrow side passages, adding visual depth and modern sophistication to residential courtyards and corporate entryways.
Because stainless steel offers a non-porous barrier, these tapered urns adapt reliably across diverse environments. Indoors, they serve as clean architectural vessels holding sculptural foliage or dry floral arrangements. Outdoors, their balanced proportions anchor flanking doorways, boundary walls, and poolside terraces. Explore our broader urn collection to compare profiles and complementary finishes.
Listed across both urn and water feature categories, Tapered Urns can be plumbed as self-contained bubblers or integrated above subterranean sump reservoirs. In a fountain configuration, water flows gently over the tapered lip, creating a shimmering curtain across the stainless steel exterior.

How are the stainless steel Tapered Urns produced and ordered?
Each urn is made to order to ensure precision fabrication, clean welded joins, and balanced proportions. Lead times vary depending on workshop production schedules. Contact our Malaga showroom team directly to discuss current fabrication timing, order processing, and site delivery arrangements.
Can the Tapered Urn be converted into an active water feature?
Yes. The urn can be plumbed with an internal water riser and submersible pump, allowing water to well up at the top opening and sheet smoothly down the exterior walls into a hidden basin. Browse our water features collection to evaluate matching pond reservoirs and pump capacities.
How do I stabilise a tall tapered urn in exposed Perth locations?
Because stainless steel is relatively lightweight compared to stone or cast concrete, outdoor installations exposed to afternoon coastal winds require internal ballast. Place 10 to 15 kg of washed drainage aggregate or river pebbles in the base before planting or positioning to lower the urn’s centre of gravity.
How should live plants be potted inside a stainless steel urn?
We recommend keeping plants in their nursery grow pots set on an internal shelf or riser within the urn, rather than filling the entire metal cavity with wet soil. This preserves soil aeration, prevents root overheating during Perth heatwaves, and allows effortless plant rotation for seasonal styling.
What maintenance is required to keep the stainless steel finish clean?
Rinse the exterior periodically with fresh water to remove airborne dust and coastal salt spray. For occasional spot cleaning or fingerprint removal, wipe down the surface with a soft microfibre cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding abrasive scouring pads or harsh bleach-based chemical cleaners.
