How It's Made

Buying Guide

We've put together all the information you'll need, from size guides to fitting instructions.

  • Petite

    Measuring 40cm across the cardinal points N to S, this size is suitable for sheds, greenhouses pergolas, conservatories or small garages and outbuildings. Unlike our two larger sizes, Petite weathervanes have a single ended scroll.

  • Medium

    Measuring 55cm across the cardinal points N to S and suitable for use on garages, stables, bungalows, other single storey buildings and two storey small houses.

  • Large

    Measuring 70cm across the cardinal points N to S and suitable for use on barns & two storey buildings.

  • Black

    All of our metal work is zinc electric plated with an added passivate process prior to powder coating to ensure longevity. This is important to ensure it withstands our British weather and stays looking great for up to 30 years.

  • Gold Leaf Effect

    You also have the option to add gold leaf style painted lettering to the cardinal points. The gold leaf effect is hand painted by a local artist using tough enamel paint, which has been designed to withstand typical British weather.
