FAQs
What are the overall dimensions of the weathervane?
The overall dimensions are approximately 540mm in height and 380mm in width. The feature head itself is about 130mm high above the arrow, with an arrow length of 310mm.
What material is the weathervane made of?
It is constructed from steel and finished with an exterior-quality black powder coat paint.
Can I paint the weathervane a different color?
Yes, the feature head can be customized with additional paint, such as Hammerite, to achieve a unique design and enhance weather protection.
What is included with the weathervane?
It includes the feature weathervane head, NSEW directional arms, a universal clamp bracket with a backplate, and both a stand-off stem and a vertical stem.
How heavy is the weathervane?
The weathervane weighs approximately 1.5Kg.
Is this suitable for very windy areas?
While made of steel, its compact size is best suited for smaller structures. For extremely high wind areas, ensure it is securely mounted. An additional paint coat can help protect it.
Troubleshooting
Weathervane is not spinning freely.
Check if the pivot ball bearing is obstructed or if there are any bends in the stem or arrow. Ensure the directional arms are not catching on anything.
Bracket feels loose.
Tighten the clamp screws on the universal bracket. Ensure the surface it is mounted to is firm and stable.
Directional arms are misaligned.
Loosen the unique cross fixing that holds the directional arms and re-align them to the correct NSEW positions before retightening.
Visible rust spots appearing.
Clean the affected area and apply a rust-inhibiting primer followed by an exterior-quality paint, such as Hammerite, to protect the steel.
