hi Chris and Tom L,

spheres ara avalible from, "plants plus" nurseries.
not sure if they are s.a. based or nationwide,
the 6" one is actually 5.8"
i assume they are stainless, they are designed to
float in ponds as decoration, i bought a small approx4"
one to install a heap of misting nozzels into to make
a misting ball for my greenhouse, at the time i bought them
assumed they were about 3-4mm plastic aluminium\chrome plated,
then i went to drill one, hard as the hogs of hell, metal and
thin as paper, not good for drilling and tapping holes to take
misting nozzles.
good luck

regards
richard
