Know before you buy
No, the pure copper will naturally develop a rich, dark brown patina over time when exposed to the elements. If you prefer to maintain the original bright copper look, you would need to apply a clear lacquer coating periodically.
This specific model is designed as a decorative stationary piece and does not rotate to indicate wind direction. It is intended to serve as a classic architectural accent for your roof, garage, or gazebo.
The weathervane comes with a roof mount included in the box. It is also compatible with cupola mounts if you prefer to install it on a cupola rather than directly onto your roof surface.
Assembly is straightforward and designed for the average homeowner. You will need to attach the figure to the arrow and secure the solid brass directionals, which can typically be completed with basic household tools.
Yes, this product is backed by a Lifetime Warranty from Good Directions. This covers the craftsmanship and durability of the copper construction, providing peace of mind for your outdoor investment.
