Know before you buy
No, the 100% pure copper will naturally oxidize when exposed to the elements. Over time, it will develop a classic, soft green patina that protects the metal and adds a vintage aesthetic.
The weathervane includes a standard roof mount and is designed for straightforward assembly. While it is user-friendly, you should ensure you have the proper tools and safety equipment for working on your roof.
Yes, it is designed to rotate freely in the wind. The included solid brass directionals (N, S, E, W) allow you to accurately track wind direction once the unit is properly aligned.
The fully assembled weathervane stands 33 inches tall. This includes the horse figure, the directionals, and the copper globes.
The included hardware is specifically designed for roof mounting. If you wish to display it in a garden, you would need to purchase a separate garden pole or mounting bracket that fits the base.
