Initially designed as a distinctive garden feature, our unique Human Sundials were quickly adopted by schools as they make an excellent addition to any educational environment. In addition to its many
educational benefits, other benefits of a SunClock include:
-
Makes for an attractive, decorative, popular and novel garden feature for many public locations such as play areas, parks, nature reserves, community centers, museums, etc.
-
The interactive aspect of a SunClock is interesting and fun to use for children as well as adults, who become an active part of the sundial.
-
Children will often invent their own set of games based on the SunClock layout.
-
A SunClock installation is usually painted or set into the ground, thereby avoiding interference with pedestrian or vehicle traffic as well as allowing lawn mowers to easily pass right over it.
-
No two SunClocks will be alike. As it is custom made for its intended location, each SunClock installation is unique both in its design as well as the materials used.
-
Can be useful in encouraging community involvement in your project.
-
Shows the true local clock time, not the ‘sun time’ shown by regular sundials, which require confusing adjustments in order to know the real time.
-
Includes a simple method for finding TRUE North at you specific location, which avoids the inaccuracies that come with the use of a magnetic compass.
-
Shows the correct time throughout the year as our distinctive design accounts for the Spring and Autumn time changes.
-

materials,
from inexpensive to luxurious and anything in-between.
-
Cannot easily be stolen or vandalized.
-
Can add an air of distinction and elegance to any property and can also increase its selling value.
These are many of the reasons for which Interactive Human Sundials, in particular the distinctive Two Ring design of out SunClocks, are becoming the most popular Sundials.
