{"product_id":"large-scale-articulated-rattlesnake-sculpture","title":"Large-Scale Articulated Rattlesnake Sculpture","description":"\u003cp\u003eCommission a large-scale handmade diamondback rattlesnake for your landscape — a fully dimensional, articulated metal sculpture built to be posed and arranged as a true statement piece, not a garden ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShown in representative staged configurations. Overall presence varies substantially between the 10' and 20' versions, and the final footprint depends on how the articulated body is posed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLength\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 10' and 20' outstretched lengths. A 10' snake becomes a substantial focal point in a courtyard or garden, while the 20' version functions as a true landscape-scale installation. Custom lengths beyond 20' may be available by request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eArticulated Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArticulation is standard on every sculpture. The body is built from multiple individually fabricated metal sections connected to move between segments, so the snake can be arranged in a long winding line, a broad curve, or a tighter coil to suit its setting — and repositioned later. That makes an unusually large sculpture far more adaptable than a single rigid piece of the same length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial \/ Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFabricated from a combination of metal components chosen for strength, durability, and visual character. The body sections, head, tail, and surface elements are cut, shaped, and assembled by hand, and the contrasting metal surfaces emphasize the layered, dimensional construction. Each sculpture is a one-of-a-kind, made-to-order piece — not a flat silhouette, casting, or mass-produced ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFinish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach finished sculpture receives a protective clear coating suitable for indoor or outdoor display. As with any outdoor metal artwork, sun, rain, irrigation, and changing weather will naturally age the finish over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesert and xeriscape landscapes, large residential gardens, courtyards, pool landscapes, ranch properties, sculpture gardens, and commercial or hospitality environments where the scale of the artwork becomes part of the experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMoving \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are substantial metal sculptures. Their articulated construction makes them adaptable, but they may still require multiple people or appropriate equipment to unload, move, and position safely. Before delivery, consider the final display location, access to the installation area, ground or surface conditions, available unloading help, and the desired final pose. Installation and site preparation are not included unless arranged as part of a custom project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMade in Tucson\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery rattlesnake is fabricated, assembled, and finished by hand in our Tucson, Arizona shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCustom Work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge-scale commissions are welcome — lengths beyond 20', particular metal combinations or coloration, diamondback pattern treatment, head and tail details, or a sculpture designed around a specific landscape or architectural space. Photos and approximate dimensions of the display area are helpful when planning. Custom pricing is based on size, complexity, materials, finish, and delivery requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- This piece is made to order; production time may vary depending on length, fabrication complexity, finishing, and current shop schedule.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Each sculpture is individually fabricated, so segment positioning, surface coloration, texture, and overall posture will vary.\u003cbr\u003e\n- The final footprint depends on how the articulated body is positioned.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Support multiple body sections when repositioning. Do not drag or lift the sculpture by the head, tail, rattle, or a single section.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Local pickup is available in Tucson, Arizona by prior arrangement.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Local-pickup orders do not include packing, crating, freight, delivery, or installation charges.\u003cbr\u003e\n- This piece ships oversized and requires a destination-specific professional packing and transportation quote before purchase — it cannot be shipped via standard parcel carriers.\u003cbr\u003e\n- All professional packing, crating, freight, declared-value coverage, residential delivery, liftgate fees, and related shipping expenses are paid by the buyer.\u003cbr\u003e\n- This piece does not include installation.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Colors may appear slightly different depending on lighting and screen settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOversized Shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is made to order and ships oversized.
