Troubleshooting
Weathervane does not spin freely.
Check for any obstructions around the mounting point or the weathervane itself. Ensure the fixing mount is vertical and the weathervane is properly seated. Gently clear any debris that might be hindering rotation.
Paint chipping or surface damage.
For minor chips, use a high-quality exterior metal paint in a similar black shade for touch-ups. Ensure the area is clean and dry before applying. For significant damage, consider a full repaint with specialized metal paint.
Weathervane feels loose after installation.
Re-secure the fixing mount to the vertical surface, ensuring all screws or bolts are tightened appropriately for the mounting material. Verify the weathervane is securely seated on its mount.
