Can this be mounted on a wall?
Yes, it can be mounted horizontally or vertically using the provided backplate and fixings, suitable for walls, fences, or roofs.
How do I clean the weathervane?

What is the weight of the weathervane?
The weathervane weighs approximately 2 Kg.
Is the gardener figure removable?
The gardener figure is a fixed design element of the weathervane and is not designed to be removable.
Troubleshooting
Weathervane is stiff or difficult to turn.
Ensure the mounting is secure but not overly tightened. Check that no part of the weathervane is obstructed by branches or other garden features. Gently lubricate the pivot point if necessary with a silicone-based lubricant.
The 'gardener' figure is loose.
Inspect the attachment point of the figure to the main rod. If loose, consult the fixings or consider using a strong adhesive suitable for metal if a mechanical fix isn't apparent.
Rust spots appearing on the surface.
Light rust can often be removed with a soft cloth and a mild abrasive cleaner. For more significant rust, clean the area thoroughly and apply a coat of black exterior-grade paint suitable for metal.
Cardinal points are difficult to read.
Ensure the weathervane is clean. If the paint has faded, you may need to repaint the letters for better visibility.
