Materials & Construction

The figure is cut from 2 mm sheet steel, with steel rod used for the stem and supporting components. A ball-bearing pivot is fitted inside the feature head, allowing the weathervane to respond to changes in wind direction.

The North, South, East and West directional arms use a cross-style fixing to hold the components securely in position.

The steel is finished with a textured black exterior-grade powder coating, providing a durable and consistent appearance for outdoor use.

Caring for Your Weathervane

The exterior-grade powder coating helps protect the steel from outdoor conditions. Like any metal product installed outdoors, the weathervane should be inspected periodically for signs of wear or damage to the coating.

If the protective finish becomes chipped or worn, clean and prepare the affected area before applying a suitable exterior metal paint in accordance with the paint manufacturer’s instructions.

Oakley weathervane questions

What is an Oakley weathervane?

Oakley weathervanes are bold steel silhouettes with a black powder-coat finish. They're compact, easy to fit and work as proper weathervanes, with a pivot bearing in the head so they turn freely to show the wind direction.

Where can I fit one?

They’re sized for sheds, fence posts, gazebos, garages, summerhouses and smaller homes. They’re a good choice wherever a larger copper weathervane would look out of proportion.

How do I fix it?

Each Oakley weathervane comes with a universal clamp bracket and backplate, plus two stems. 

The stand-off stem fixes to a wall, fascia or the side of a post, and the vertical stem fixes to the top of a post or a flat surface. Screws, wall plugs and an Allen key are included, and the screws suit timber or masonry.

Will it rust?

The heads are cut from 2mm sheet steel, and the stems from 10mm steel rod. Everything is finished in an exterior-grade powder coat, which protects the steel and keeps it looking good for years. For extra protection, or to freshen it up later, give it a coat of Hammerite paint.

How big is it?

Sizes vary slightly by design. As a guide, most stand about 460mm tall and 380mm wide when assembled. Exact dimensions are on each product page.

How much is delivery?

UK mainland delivery (excluding the Highlands and islands) is free on every Oakley weathervane. Oakley orders are dispatched Monday to Friday, usually by Royal Mail Tracked 24 or DPD Local. Any delivery charge for the Scottish Highlands and islands, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland is shown at checkout before you pay.
