Know before you buy
The weathervane arrives with a polished finish, but because it is made of pure copper, it will naturally oxidize over time. You can expect it to develop a classic, greenish-blue patina as it is exposed to the elements.
The Single Point Contact design minimizes friction, allowing the weathervane to spin smoothly and respond accurately even to light breezes.
Yes, the kit includes all necessary components for assembly. However, you will need to ensure you have the appropriate mounting hardware for your specific roof or cupola type.
Yes, the 22-gauge pure copper construction is durable and weather-resistant. When properly installed on a secure mount, it is designed to withstand typical outdoor conditions.
Yes, this model is compatible with both roof mounts and cupola mounts. Ensure your cupola has a flat surface or the correct mounting bracket to support the base.
Very little. The copper is naturally weather-resistant and designed to age gracefully. If you prefer to maintain the original polished look, you would need to apply a clear coat or specialized metal sealant, though most owners prefer the natural patina process.
