FAQs

What material is the Cockerel Wind Rocker made from?

It is made from solid steel bar, supplied in a bare metal finish.

Will it rust?

Yes, it is designed to be left outdoors to develop a natural rust patina over time.

How do I assemble it?

Assembly is minimal. Simply insert the base securely into the ground in your desired location.

What are the dimensions?

The approximate dimensions are: Width: 21" (54cm), Height: 58.5" (148.5cm), Depth: 26" (66cm).

Does it require painting?

No, it is designed to weather naturally. Painting is not required and may alter its intended appearance.

How does the wind rocker mechanism work?

The rocker features discs designed to catch the wind, causing the cockerel to move and rock.

Is it suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, it is made from robust steel and designed for continuous outdoor display in various weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Cockerel is not rocking.

Ensure the rocker is placed in an area exposed to wind. Check that the discs are not obstructed by leaves or debris. Verify that the rocker is balanced and not leaning excessively.

Rocker appears unstable.

Ensure the base is firmly planted in the ground. If placed on a hard surface, consider using a suitable anchoring system for stability.

Rust finish is uneven or not developing as expected.

Natural rusting can vary. Exposure to moisture and air affects the rate and pattern. Consistent placement in a moist, airy location will encourage a more uniform patina over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the Cockerel Wind Rocker carefully.
