What it does

  • Tells time using the sun so you never need batteries or power in your garden
  • Aligns toward true north and casts a shadow to show the hours, so you can read the time at a glance
  • Printed on demand in stainless steel PLA, so your sundial arrives ready to place in soil or on a stand
  • Large size makes it easy to read from across your yard, so everyone can see the time outside

Watch your garden keep time the old-fashioned way. Your new sundial sits in the yard and uses sunlight to show you the hours without any electronics. It turns your outdoor space into a working timepiece that works all day long.

This large sundial prints in stainless steel PLA, a durable material built to handle sun and weather. Align it toward true north and let clear skies do the work. The shadow cast by the gnomon shows you the time as the sun moves across the sky. You get a functional garden feature that teaches you how ancient timekeeping works.

Perfect for patios, garden beds, or lawn displays. Place it where sunlight reaches most of the day for the best results.
