The garden plot is a place where not only grow fruits and vegetables , but also spend their rest. Therefore, it is possible to diversify and decorate its appearance with the help of decorative garden figures. When choosing such an element of decoration of the territory, attention should be paid not only to the appearance, but also to the material from which it will be made.
Garden figures from polyresin
The sculptures made of artificial stone are highly durable, they are not covered with mold and do not crack, and the colors do not burn out in the sun. They are very popular with gardeners, as the cost is affordable, but their range does not vary a lot.

Garden figures from gypsum
This is one of the cheapest products, since the raw material (gypsum) is inexpensive and does not require expensive equipment (form only). Also to their advantages is the fact that they do not require additional painting, because white figures look good too. But their disadvantages are - uniformity and fragility.

Garden figures from concrete
They are manufactured in the same way as gypsum. But in the end, the finished product is more durable and heavy, which lengthens its service life. Also, they differ in price, concrete figures are more expensive. Very popular for installation in front of the house or in public parks.

Garden figures from a tree
Wooden products, despite the availability of material, are quite expensive, since they are made by hand. Each figure is unique, replays rarely come across, and while they look very organically among the plants. Most often do mills, birdhouses, wells and houses. The life of such a product is long enough, especially if it is covered with varnish or stain.

Plastic Garden Shapes
Due to the fact that products made of plastic are resistant to any manifestations of nature (sun, wind, rain or snow), it is natural that garden figures are also made of this material. Unlike gypsum, they do not require additional staining. They are very bright, beautiful and quite inexpensive. That's why they are the most popular.

Garden figures with their own hands
If you want to create a unique composition, then you can make a garden figure yourself from improvised materials: Car tires. In this case, you get wonderful figures that are not afraid of bad weather, but to cut the material you need to make a lot of effort.

Plastic bottles . Available material and easy to use. Very interesting compositions are obtained.

Unnecessary household things . This can be metal dishes, shoes (best rubber), ceramic pots, etc.

Plywood . It's really easy to make any figure out of it, but it will be short-lived, but for 1 season it will be enough.
| | | |
Construction foam . With the help of it, you can make any sculpture, and if it is opened with varnish after painting, it will last much longer.

Paper . Garden figures made from papier-mâché are rather light, so when installing, you need to come up with fixtures so that they are not blown away by the wind.
| | | |
Stones . You can directly apply to them paint or make a figure of them, connecting the stones with cement.
