Garden Sundials

Are you looking for something unique or different for your garden? We recommend trying Garden Sundials. Some people use Sundials as a decorative piece for their favorite outdoor area, while others use them for fun.

A Sundial, while beautiful and ageless, also serves a purpose. When placed at the correct angle, sundials use the sun to tell time. The sun casts a shadow on the gnomon marking the Roman Numerals or lines on the sundial giving you the time.

Sundials have come a long way since they were first invented. Once just a stick in the sand, or marks on a wooden shoe, sundials have turned into beautiful timepieces that can be passed down from generation to generation. Sundials come in many different designs. They are offered with inscriptions, like Robert Browning's quote "Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be" or Thoreau's motto, "Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads". Some sundials have features that indicate seasons, sunrise and sunset time, astrological signs and directions on a compass.

There is a certain uniqueness to a sundial. Each sundial has a special look when the sun hits in whatever finish it's in, whether it be brass, aluminum or cast iron.

Our Brass Sundials are shiny and require little to no maintenance. These sundials are finished with polished brass highlights over a dark patina color. They will age gracefully and naturally over time to a full patina or greenish color. Brass Sundials are also naturally non rusting. If you want to keep the bright finish, we suggest you use brass polish when needed. Although Aluminum Sundials are often dismissed for their light weight nature, they prove to be a good choice for the simpleness, affordability and their ability not to rust. If you are looking for an alternative to pricier models, then go with our Cast Iron Sundials. Although our Cast Iron Sundials have been painted to prevent oxidations, the downside to cast iron is that it will rust. Recently, the rust appearance has become very popular and gives the sundial a natural, uncultivated look.

While horizontal sundials certainly make a statement in your garden, nothing takes your breath away quite like an Armillary Sundial. While an arrow serves as the gnomon, and numbers are placed on a curved band, it gives you the time just like a regular sundial. Armillaries have some of the same features as horizontal sundials. You can place these sundials on a flat surface or on a pedestal base for added height and elegance. Armillary Sundials can only be used with cast column pedestal bases.

Our Sundials look best when placed on a pedestal. Sundial Bases will bring attention to your sundial and accent your garden. The majority of sundial bases and pedestals are manufacturer specific. If you are unsure of whether or not your sundial and base match, we'll be more than happy to answer your questions. Please feel free to call out Customer Service toll free number - (800) 962-7382.
