Know before you buy
Yes, the Blue Verde finish is designed to evolve. While it arrives with a pre-aged look, the pure copper will continue to weather and develop unique character traits based on your local climate and exposure to the elements.
Yes, the weathervane is constructed from durable 22-gauge pure copper and is engineered to be weather-resistant. It is designed to rotate freely and handle outdoor conditions reliably for years.
The kit comes complete with the dolphin figure, solid brass directionals (N, S, E, W), two copper globes, and all necessary mounting hardware for a standard roof installation.
While assembly is required, the unit is designed for straightforward installation. If you are comfortable working on a roof and following basic assembly instructions, you can typically install it yourself, though professional assistance is recommended if you are not experienced with roof work.
This model is specifically designed as a roof mount. While it could technically be adapted for a garden post, you would need to source a separate garden pole mount, as the included hardware is intended for roof-top application.
The fully assembled weathervane stands at 34 inches tall. This includes the dolphin figure, the directionals, and the globes.
