Made to last

Real copper, shaped by hand

It changes colour with age

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.

Handcrafted and brazed

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.

Brass points, steel rod

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.

Cottage weathervane questions

Where can I fit a cottage weathervane?

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.

Which bracket do I need?

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.

Does polished copper stay shiny?

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.

How do I choose the right size?

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.

How much is delivery?

UK mainland delivery (excluding the Highlands and islands) is free on orders of £50 or more, so every cottage weathervane ships free to the UK mainland. 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.
