3D weathervanes

The embossed weathervane is stamped so the motif has volume: seen from the street, it stands out clearly against the sky and shows where the wind is coming from. In our workshop in Verdets, at the foot of the Pyrenees, we make it by hand, in zinc or copper.

Here you will find the Gallic rooster and a smaller rooster, the rearing horse, the chimera, the goose in flight, the dove, the woodcock, the witch on her broomstick, and a simple arrow. Heights run from 90 to 155 cm depending on the model. For a house, 90 to 115 cm above the ridge is usually enough; for a barn or a large roof, prefer 135 or 155 cm. Every weathervane comes with its cardinal points, to be set with a compass (N to the north). It sits on a spindle with a bearing and turns freely.

It mounts on the roof finial of your choice, or directly on a rod. A confident DIYer can fit it to a finial already in place; for the finial itself, we recommend a roofer. See Delivery, lead times and fitting.
