Nautical Weathervanes

Nautical weathervanes are thrilling and inspiring - perfect for those with a love for the sea. Some nautical designs come complete with a mounting rod, directionals, spacer balls and mounting brackets. However, note that some might not include certain components; for instance, some do not include mounting hardware. It's always a good idea to take a minute and read the manufacturers instructions, given with the listing on the website, to see what comes with the item.

Materials
The two most popular materials used in nautical weathervanes are copper and aluminum. Copper is well loved for its natural beauty and weathering ability. When left untreated, copper will eventually weather and change color. This process makes the copper weathervane even more beautiful and also protects it from corrosion. Copper is a strong and durable material which makes it perfect to use for a weathervane. Whether treated or weathered, copper makes a beautiful nautical weathervane.

Aluminum nautical weathervanes are rust-resistant and available in many brightly colored finishes. The vivid colors are perfect for lighthouses or sailboats and look stunning on a rooftop. Paint helps protect the aluminum from weathering and allows it to withstand harsh weather. Polished black or metallic finishes are also available.

Sizes
When choosing a nautical weathervane, it is important to choose one that is right for the building on which the weathervane will be mounted. Large nautical weathervanes look best on large barns or multiple-story homes, while mid-sized nautical weathervanes work well for single-story houses or smaller barns. The smallest nautical weathervanes add charm to smaller structures, like gazebos.

Styles
Some nautical weathervanes feature plenty of details, like a multi-colored lighthouse situated on a rocky shore. Sailboats, schooners, and yachts are other popular nautical styles. No matter how far you are from the sea, a nautical weathervane will express your love of the water.
