Production & Sourcing Network
Iron Sourcing Network Built for Scale
Artisan Network
A coordinated network brings together metal artisans and specialist skills across figurines, toppers, planters and garden décor. Each requirement is planned around design, quantity, season and the handwork it needs.
Metal Procurement
Metal is chosen according to the design, intended use, finish and commercial requirement. Options may include recycled iron, mild steel, aluminium, corten and reclaimed metal, selected for each design.
Specialist Handwork
Different products need different making skills. Processes such as cutting, bending, forging, hand-forming, welding, grinding, patina work and hand painting are matched to the piece and its intended display.
Commercial Coordination
For larger or multi-category requirements, designs, quantities, finishes, samples, packing and delivery details can be organised through one coordinated process and a single named point of contact.
Export Operations
International orders can be planned around destination, carton weight, shipping responsibility and agreed commercial terms. Each requirement is coordinated around the date the stock must arrive in store.
Quality & Compliance
Product specifications, metal information, intended use and quality expectations are reviewed before supply. Particular attention is given to coatings, sharp edges, candle holders and lead-free declarations for regulated markets.
Trade Sourcing Without Procurement Friction
Collection Development
Coordinated assortments can be planned across several product categories and finishes to create a consistent and connected range.
Packaging Customization
Packaging can be planned around product type, quantity, destination and retail presentation needs to support handling and delivery.
Gifting Requirements
Gifting products can be considered around presentation, occasion, delivery date and suitability for the recipient or the event.
Multi-Metal Sourcing
Collections can combine iron, steel and reclaimed metal to balance weight, finish, price and character across one range.
Export Coordination
International orders can be planned around destination, packing, shipment requirements and documentation before production and dispatch are confirmed.
Quality Built Into Every Sourcing Stage
Metal Inspection
01Metal and specifications are reviewed to ensure the right material, strength, thickness and use before production begins.
Sample Verification
02Samples are reviewed for size, weight, posture, welds, finish and overall product character before approval.
Production Monitoring
03Production stages are reviewed to identify issues in shape, welds, balance or finish as the work progresses.
Finishing Standards
04Welds, edges, hooks and texture are checked against the approved sample, allowing for the natural handmade variation.
Export Packing Checks
05Packing is planned around product shape, weight, moisture and destination to support safe handling and transit.
Pre-Shipment Audit
06Final products, quantities, condition and packing are reviewed against the confirmed order before dispatch.
Export-Ready Sourcing for International Buyers
International sourcing works best when logistics are considered before production is complete. Quantity, carton weight, packing, destination, documentation and delivery terms all affect how an iron décor order is prepared and whether it arrives on time.
Shipping Coordination
Shipment planning is aligned with the confirmed order, destination and agreed delivery requirements.
Documentation Support
Required commercial documents are coordinated according to the shipment destination and agreed trade terms.
Carton Optimization
Carton sizes and weights are planned to control freight cost while protecting each piece’s finish.
International Compliance
Market-specific labelling, testing and import requirements are identified before production and shipping begin.
Delivery Scheduling
Dispatch timing is planned around confirmed quantities, production needs and your selling season.
Port & Freight Handling
Freight and port requirements are coordinated according to destination, order size and agreed shipping terms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of garden décor can Gardenalia source and supply?
Gardenalia’s range covers recycled iron décor for gardens and homes, including animal and farm figurines, birds and roosters, coastal pieces, insects and butterflies, bottle and fence toppers, hanging ornaments, planters, planter holders, wall accents, tea light holders and Christmas and Easter collectibles, all finished by hand.
Do you support custom product development?
Custom iron requirements can be reviewed where a standard collection piece does not meet the buyer’s brief. Share the reference, intended use, size, finish, metal preference, colours and quantity so suitable development options can be confirmed.
What is your minimum order quantity?
Minimum quantities depend on design, metal and customization. A stock bottle topper and a custom sculpture have very different set-up needs, so the MOQ is confirmed in each quote.
Which countries do you export to?
Gardenalia welcomes sourcing enquiries from buyers around the world. Share your destination country with your first enquiry, and the available shipping options, commercial terms and delivery responsibilities for that market will be confirmed before any order is placed.
How do you ensure sourcing and production quality?
Quality begins with a clear approved sample and continues through metal review, production monitoring, finish inspection and packing checks. Each order is checked against the agreed sample for metal, finish, size, welds and stability, while the small natural differences in posture and patina that come with handmade iron are accepted as part of the product.
Can you support large orders?
Large garden requirements can be reviewed across figurines, fence toppers, bottle toppers, planters and wall accents. The right plan depends on design, quantity, metal, finish, packing and the date stock must reach your store.
What materials can be sourced?
Gardenalia’s range is made from recycled iron, cut, welded and shaped by hand, then finished in rust, antique, white, vintage gold, silver or black tones. Mild steel, aluminium, corten and reclaimed metal can also be quoted for selected custom projects, with material confirmed in writing for each order before production.
How long does a sourcing order take?
Timelines depend on whether the products are existing designs or new custom developments, the quantity, metal availability, sample requirements, finishes, packing and destination. A confirmed timeline is given in each quote before you commit. For spring garden stock, plan months ahead and share the date your order must arrive in store.
