Good Directions Farmhouse Copper Running Horse Weathervane - Animal

The weathervane features a copper figure, brass cardinal points (N, E, S, W), and steel rods and mount with a black powder coat finish.

The dimensions are approximately 87cm in height, 82cm in width, and 44cm in depth.

Copper does not rust. It will develop a natural patina, which is a protective layer that can range in color from green to blue-green over time.

The weathervane includes a standard bracket mount, typically for securing to a flat surface. A separate mounting pole may be required depending on your installation location and needs.

Installation involves securing the bracket mount to a stable outdoor surface and assembling the weathervane components onto the rotation rod. Specific instructions are provided with the product.

Assembly is generally straightforward, involving attaching the pre-made directional arms and figure to the main rod. Basic tools may be required.

The natural patina is an inherent characteristic of copper. While it can be cleaned off, it will naturally reform. For best results and aesthetic appeal, embracing the patina is recommended.

Check for obstructions around the figure or directional arms. Ensure the rotation rod is clean and free of debris. Verify that the assembly is not overtightened.

Carefully tighten the fasteners securing the directional arms to the central rod, ensuring they remain correctly oriented (N, E, S, W).

Re-secure the mounting bracket using appropriate screws or bolts for the surface material. Ensure the surface itself is structurally sound.

The color change is a natural patina process. If an uneven color is concerning, a specialized copper cleaner can be used, but this will halt natural patina development.
