Weathervanes

Weathervanes:
You'll look forward to windy days with a fun and attractive weather vane. Weather vanes are an easy way to beautify the garden or rooftop. They're available in many styles and sizes to suit any outdoor environment.

Rooftop styles
Most weathervanes are crafted from copper, steel or aluminum, rooftop weather vanes are durable and weatherproof. Copper weather vanes are available in polished and verdigris finishes. Generally they are made from steel, aluminum or copper. Steel weather vanes are well loved for their strength and most offer a powder coat finish for extra protection. Aluminum weather vanes come in brightly painted colors or metallic polished finishes. Popular rooftop weather vane styles include birds, nautical designs, roosters and horses.

Rooftop Sizes
When choosing a rooftop weather vane, it is important to consider the size of the building the weather vane on which the weather vane will be mounted. For a multiple-story home or large barn, choose a large rooftop weather vane. Ranch-style homes or small barns look best with a mid-sized rooftop weather vane. Gazebos and utility sheds require a small weather vane.

Weather Vanes for the Garden
A weather vane is an easy way to spruce up the garden. They mount on a pole in the ground and make a stunning decorative garden accent. They offer the same weatherproof construction and materials as the rooftop variety. A few popular styles include favorite furry friends, lighthouses and birds.

Mounting options
Most weather vanes come equipped with mounting hardware. Depending on the design, they can generally be mounted anywhere you like. Roof mounts will adjust to a roof's specific pitch. Garden mounts allow for several inches to be implanted firmly into the ground. Weather vanes can also be mounted on posts and decks.

Weather vanes are nostalgic and heartwarming. They're a nice way to add a bit of decor to the home or garden. Because they're available in many styles and sizes, there's a weather vane to fit just about anywhere.
