Know before you buy
The weathervane is made from pure, unfinished copper, which will naturally oxidize over time. You can expect it to transition from its original bright metallic finish to a classic, weathered green patina.
The included garden pole is designed to be pushed directly into the soil. For the best stability, ensure the ground is firm and insert the pole deep enough to support the weight of the weathervane figure and brass directionals.
It is fully functional. The figure is balanced to rotate freely with the wind, and the included solid brass directionals will accurately indicate the wind's origin once properly oriented.
Because it is crafted from durable, weather-resistant copper and brass, it requires very little maintenance. If you prefer to keep the original copper shine, you can apply a clear metal lacquer, but most owners prefer to let it age naturally.
This specific model is designed for garden use and includes a garden pole mount. If you intend to mount it on a roof, you would need to purchase a separate roof-mount bracket, as the garden pole is not compatible with standard roof installations.
Assembly is straightforward and can typically be completed in a few minutes. You will need to attach the directionals and the figure to the mounting rod, which requires only basic tools and the provided instructions.
