Q: What is the difference between this XL doe and the standing Medium doe?
The size, weight, and category. The Medium doe (49x22xH52 cm, 3.7 kg) is classified as Medium — a beautiful garden sculpture, very present, visible from afar. This XL doe (81x30xH72 cm, 7.2 kg) is classified as Large — 20 cm taller, almost double the weight, life-size dimensions of the adult doe. This is not just a bigger doe — it’s a different experience of presence. At H72 cm in a garden, you don’t see a sculpture. You see a doe.
Q: Can this sculpture really stay outside all year round in Belgium?
Yes, without any restrictions. The high-density polyresin is tested down to -20 °C. With 7.2 kg and four legs on the ground, its stability is absolute — Belgian winters, strong winds, rain, and snow have no effect on it. The UV treatment protects the warm tones of the fawn coat from fading season after season.
Q: Does its installation require any special precautions?
Ideally, its setup requires two people due to the weight (7.2 kg) and dimensions (81 cm long). Once placed on a flat surface, it is perfectly stable and requires no fixing. The only prerequisite is a surface wide enough to accommodate its base (approximately 81x30 cm).
Q: Are the anatomical details really true to the real doe?
Yes — this is precisely what distinguishes this XL format. At this scale, every anatomical detail can be rendered with a precision that smaller formats do not allow: the musculature of the limbs, the delicacy of the neck, the variations in fur between the back and the flank, the fine texture of the muzzle, the natural orientation of the ears. The product photos — taken in real garden conditions — confirm this realism at a 1:1 scale.
Q: Is it a good investment for a large garden?
For a large garden owner looking for a signature piece — a sculpture that transforms the space, giving it a strong and memorable identity — this XL doe is the most impactful investment in the Garden Nice catalog. It lasts, it withstands, it is commented on. It's the type of piece that one refers to as "our doe" while showing the garden to visitors.
