Alpine Corporation - 23" Tall Outdoor Metallic Peacock Tail Spread Yard Statue – Vibrant Garden Sculpture for Patio, Lawn, or Entryway

Why this peacock caught my eye

Garden art can go wrong fast—too flimsy, too gaudy, or simply lost in the landscape. This metal peacock manages to hit a sweet spot: it’s bold enough to be a focal point without feeling kitschy, and sturdy enough to live outside without babysitting. I tested it in two locations—a shaded front entry and a sunnier corner of a backyard bed—to see how it reads from the street and how it holds up to the elements. It’s become one of those pieces guests notice as soon as they step onto the property.

Design and build quality

The statue is 100% metal, and that choice matters. The body and tail have embossed feather detailing that carries light and shadow nicely; the metalwork has enough depth that the form doesn’t look flat from mid-distance. The metallic finish is multicolored without being chaotic. Blues and greens lead, with warmer accents picking up at the edges of the tail “eyes.” Under daylight, it’s vivid; at dusk, the sheen adds a soft glow rather than fading to gray.

At 32 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 23 inches tall, the peacock reads larger than its height suggests because of the fully spread tail. It’s a presence, but not a space hog. On a standard 3-foot-wide entry path, it fits comfortably at the edge without forcing passersby to sidestep it.

One important note: the backside of the tail isn’t painted on my unit. Front-facing, you’d never know; from an angle that exposes the rear you’ll see bare or minimally finished metal. In most setups the back is screened by plantings or faces a wall, but if you plan to display it in the round, you’ll want to account for that.

Setup and assembly

Assembly is straightforward. Out of the box, the body and tail were separate. The pieces slot together and secure with simple hardware; it took me under ten minutes, no tools beyond a screwdriver. I’d recommend gloves—metal edges are not razor sharp, but I still prefer to handle decorative metalwork with hand protection.

Feathers arrived true to form with one or two tips slightly out of alignment from packing. These bent back cleanly by hand without cracking the finish. It’s a small thing, but it’s worth setting the piece on a soft surface while you do this to avoid scuffing the paint.

In the garden

The statue works best as a foreground accent with mid-height plantings behind it. Against textures like Russian sage, ornamental grasses, or evergreen shrubs, the colors read crisp and the silhouette feels intentional. In a mixed border, the peacock gave my eye a place to land amid perennials—useful if your planting palette leans heavily green.

As an entry feature, it adds a welcoming note that doesn’t require additional fixtures. I tried it flanking a low urn on a small porch, and the composition felt balanced without crowding the door. Placed near water (a pool or fountain), the metallic finish plays nicely with reflections.

If you want to push the effect, pairing two peacocks slightly offset can create a layered scene that looks more like a curated vignette than a single accent. The form supports that without feeling repetitive.

Indoors and styling

Indoors, the piece takes on more of a gallery-objet vibe. It sat comfortably in a sunroom and a den without looking out of place, especially near potted plants where the colors can echo foliage. On hardwood or tile, felt pads under the feet prevent scuffs and make micro-adjustments easy.

For evening interest outside, I wrapped a small strand of warm-white micro solar lights around the tail. The embossed feathers catch the tiny points of light well and extend the statue’s presence after sunset.

Durability and weather resistance

This is where full-metal construction pays off. Over several weeks in direct sun and intermittent irrigation, the finish showed no chalking or obvious fade. Water beaded and ran off without spotting. I didn’t see early signs of rust on welds or edges, which is often where cheaper garden metal begins to fail.

Still, I treat outdoor metal as I do outdoor wood: care extends life. If you’re in a high-UV or coastal environment, a thin coat of a clear UV-resistant spray once a season is inexpensive insurance. Avoid anything too glossy unless you want to intensify the shine.

The manufacturer includes one-year support. I didn’t need to use it, but it’s good to see for a decorative piece that lives outside year-round.

Stability and maintenance

The peacock is self-standing with a low, wide footprint. On level ground or mulch, it felt stable and didn’t wobble. In high wind, any lightweight statue becomes a sail. The base doesn’t include built-in stakes, so if you’re in a breezy area I suggest one of these solutions:

• Drive two U-shaped landscape staples over the feet into soil or mulch.
• Use clear outdoor adhesive to affix the feet to a stone or paver.
• Discreetly weight the base with dark river stones tucked around the feet.

Cleaning is as simple as a soft brush or microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive pads; the metallic topcoat will thank you. If you get hard water spots, a damp cloth followed by a dry buff keeps the finish bright.

Size and fit

Dimensions can be deceptive with sculptural décor. Here’s how the size translates in typical settings:

• On a 4-foot-wide front step: occupies roughly a quarter of the width, leaving comfortable clearance.
• In a 3-foot-deep planting bed: sits forward without disappearing into foliage, tail comfortably within the bed’s depth.
• Along a pool edge: the 12-inch footprint stays safely away from traffic paths while still visible from seating areas.

If you’re looking for a towering statement piece, this is not that. It’s a medium-scale accent designed to complement rather than dominate.

Value and competition

Compared to resin or mixed-material alternatives at similar prices, the all-metal build and layered finish feel more premium. The embossing gives texture that molded resin often fakes but rarely sells at close range. There are larger metal peacocks on the market, but they’re typically two to three times the price and require ground anchoring. There are cheaper options, too, but most cut corners in paint quality or welds.

The two compromises here are the unpainted backside of the tail and the lack of integrated staking. Both are manageable: orient the piece so the back faces a wall or shrubs, and add simple anchoring if your site is windy. Neither undercuts the overall value proposition.

What I’d change

• Paint on the reverse of the tail would broaden placement options, especially for island beds.
• Optional stake holes or a couple of included ground stakes would be welcome for customers in open, windy sites.

These tweaks would push the piece from very good to excellent without complicating setup.

Final recommendation

I recommend this peacock statue for anyone who wants a vibrant, durable focal point that’s easy to live with outdoors or in a sunroom. The metal construction and embossed detailing offer a quality feel, the finish holds up well outside, and the scale suits most gardens and entryways without crowding. Be aware that the back of the tail isn’t painted, so plan placement accordingly, and consider simple anchoring if wind is a concern. Taken together, the design, build quality, and straightforward setup make it a standout in its category and a worthwhile addition to a landscape that could use a single, tasteful pop of color.
