Copper is used on our 3D ranges (heads and ball spacers) offering timeless quality with corrosion-free durability. We have sprayed the copper to give it an all over natural looking patina The 3D bodies are handcrafted from beaten copper sections and brazed. The brazing will be visible, but this does not tend to detract from the overall good looks of our copper weathervanes.
Steel is used for the rotation rods and standard bracket mount on the 3D weathervanes. The steel is coated with an exterior quality powder coat paint for extended life.
Our Verdigris 3D weathervanes are coated with an exterior quality powder coat paint which protects the weathervane and offers a durable finish. You can expect this finish to look good for quite some time!
The weathervane rods and mounts are coated with an exterior quality powder coat paint which protects the steel and offers a durable finish. For extended life, we suggest giving the mount a coat of Hammerite paint.

Made to last
Polished copper softens to a warm brown, then over the years to the green verdigris you see on old church roofs. That’s genuine copper doing what it does. A clear lacquer slows it down.
Each figure is formed from copper sections and brazed together by hand. You may see the joins. They’re the mark of something made by hand, not a fault.
The N, S, E and W letters are cast brass. The rod and bracket are steel with an exterior powder coat. A coat of Hammerite every few years keeps them looking smart.

First class personal service. Nothing too much trouble. Our New England style verdigris copper whale weather vane is of exceptional high quality finish at the very best price.
Malcolm Thorne · Verdigris whale weathervane
It was easy to order online and the different designs available for the mini ones were great. It arrived well packed and recently installed.
Louise Worek · Oakley weathervane
Fast delivery, and exactly as described but so much better in person. easy to install, really pleased.
Melissa · Trustpilot review
Sheds, garages, gazebos, workshops, summerhouses, fence posts and smaller homes. They’re proportioned for buildings where a full-size farmhouse weathervane would look too big.
The 5″ eave bracket fixes to a wall, fascia or gable end. The post bracket fixes to the top of a fence or gazebo post. You get one of these free, whichever you choose. A roof mount straddles a pitched ridge, and a garden pole stands in a lawn or border.
Not forever. Outdoors it softens to a warm brown and, over the years, to a green verdigris. A clear lacquer slows this down but won’t stop it. If you want the aged look from day one, choose the verdigris finish.
Compare the height above with your roofline and think about where you’ll see it from. Or send us a photo of your building and we’ll suggest a size.
