What Makes It Uncommon

You're Gonna Need a Bigger Lawn...

Like the Great White that terrorized a certain beach community, this land-bound beast brings ferocious adventure to life. Chris Crooks' two-part denizen of the deep adds a dramatic statement to green spaces as it leaps through waves of grass, inspiring mock terror from all who cross its path. Crooks handcuts each monstrous piece from metal that is aged with a bright rust patina. He then bends and shapes the teeth, gills, and other shark-like details, giving the piece added bite and making it fins down, the best land shark ever! (Thanks, Connery Ranch from Bethesda, Maryland). The steel segments are equipped with mounting brackets that attach to 6-inch lawn stakes (included). Handmade in Tucson, Arizona.

I started out from my garage. As the business grew, and my wife’s and neighbors' patience stretched, it was time to move to an industrial space. There I can bang and grind at all hours of the night. It's 1,000 square feet of pure metalworking nirvana.

Chris Crooks took a winding road to get to where he is now—creating imaginative lawn sculptures inspired by the Southwest landscape he calls home. After graduating from the Art Institute of Philadelphia, Chris worked in advertising, then ran a printing business with his wife, while painting during his free time. It was when the couple moved to Tucson that Chris collaborated with a metal art manufacturer and fell in love with the art form. He now designs and creates sculptures in his studio at the foot of the Santa Rita Mountains. "I always wanted to make a living doing something genuinely enjoyable," he says. "To get up in the morning raring to go, and never having enough time to do everything you want to do."

Father's day gift success!

Great quality, great color - really pops against greenery! Purchased for a Father's Day gift and our Dad LOVED it!


LOVE THIS!!!

We haven't set it up yet since it is freezing here but plan to put it near the pool when winter is over.


Love our Shark!

Placed it on the corner of our property and everyone who walks by loves it.


Like a scene from JAWS

Very cool addition to our pool area. The shark stands out brilliantly against blue rubber mulch!


Love this product and would highly recommend it.

We bought this for our Tiki Hut. Once we received it we realized it was way too cool for the lawn. So we attached it to the roof. So cool!


Made us smile - For a while

Put the sculpture it in the backyard where I could see it from my living room. It was a Christmas present and made me smile for a few months but then rusted within four months.

Response from merchant

Thank you for your feedback!


Awesomely shark

Love this shark! He is great! So glad I finally bought him


Filled a sharnado sized hole in the yard

An excellent gift for the shark enthusiast. It is a sleek design that will endure all types of weather and easy to secure if sharknado winds come about. If you like Jaws, look forward to shark week the entire year, or you are simply a shark enthusiast, this would be a wonderful addition to your yard that resonates through all the seasons. It most definitely will keep the pesky feral cats away. I would recommend to anyone and everyone.


BEST BACKYARD/POOL DECOR EVER

LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Perfect balance of quirky, fun, and art for a pool!

Is it supposed to come with stakes?

Verified reply from Amy

Hello! Yes, it should come with 6-inch stakes. If you have received a Land Shark and these are not included in the box (sometimes taped inside, or to other pieces), please reach out to help@uncommongoods.com or call 888-365-0056 and we can further assist you!


Does this need to be treated so it won't rust? If so, what is recommended?

Verified reply from Norma

The Land Shark comes in a rust patina. If you leave your Land Shark outdoors it will be affected by the elements and will change over time. To prevent oversaturation of rust and/or patina the Land Shark can be coated with a protective metal spray annually.


Could this be mounted on a house?

Verified reply from Leslie

The steel segments are equipped with mounting brackets that attach to 6-inch lawn stakes, but at this time it isn't designed to be mounted to a house.


Is it later? Still waiting for an alligator.

Verified reply from Colleen

It may be awhile Crocodile.


can you do an alligator

Verified reply from Melody

That's an idea! We'll see later alligator.


Is the shark a flat piece of material or is it 3D?

Verified reply from Colleen

The shark is flat.


How much does this weigh?

Verified reply from Jeffrey

This weighs 11 1/2 pounds.


Could these be placed in water (at the edge of a pond, for example)?

Verified reply from Valerie

You can try that, as long as you can anchor it securely in that location. Note that exposure to water will impact the finish, so you may want to treat or paint the item first. It may be best to put it near the water, but not directly in it.


Are these double sided. Do they look great from the front and the back?

Verified reply from Valerie

The back looks pretty much the same as the front, the only difference being that on the back you'll see where the stakes attach to anchor the item into the ground.
