"Feeling down? Saddle up."

In the simplest design, the weathervane is a flat area that wind blows against to indicate wind direction. This horse weathervane is carefully balanced, that is, the front part has the correct back counterbalance. Today, weathervanes are a piece of dynamic home outdoor decor with a purpose.

The manufacturer is regarded as the worlds largest weathervane manufacturer with it is 48-ft tall schooner weathervane on White Lake, Michigan. Over 60 years, they perfected the color finish to withstand the harshest elements.

This weathervane has a large ornament, hand-hammered styling, and includes an adjustable aluminum roof or cupola mount base. The ornament, arrow, direction markers, and balls are copper. Other components are metals to support their function.

For a pleasing proportion, a weathervane should be 2-3" long for each foot of height of a one-story building. Deviations from this rule of thumb consider the setting. E.g., a home on a hilltop may call for a taller weathervane to stand out in silhouette. A cupola will help to create a taller effect for your weathervane.
