HORIZONTAL     GARDEN      SUNDIALS

Individual sundials engraved to your requirements. Each sundial is calibrated during manufacture, to tell true time at any location. Any size or shape is possible and includes your choice of wording. Natural slate retains its beauty for hundreds of years and brass will weather with time to a natural antique finish. See the sundial man bases page for a range of natural stone sundial bases. If you measure your own sundial base, a sundial can be made to fit it perfectly. Brass sundials show quarter hours, slate sundial engraved with hours only. The correct hours will be engraved for your location. Dials made for further north will have more hours because of the longer summer days at these latitudes than in the south.

MOTTOS (Please give exact details when ordering)

Any wording may be included on horizontal sundials and is included in the price. Remember though that too many words will crowd the dial and may be too small to read easily.

There is a small selection of traditional mottoes on the mottos page. Alternatively personalise your dial with your own wording for a truly unique dial.

LOGOS & GRAPHICS (Ask for quotation)

It is possible to engrave designs onto brass, or carve them into slate. These may be in addition to or instead of any wording. Please send details of graphic for a quotation. An equation of time graph can be added to your dial which enables true time to be converted to mean time (sundial time to watch time).

If you require a really special horizontal sundial, then it may be possible to make a themed dial or reproduce a dial from the past. see the themed page.
