Wind Vanes
Wind vanes: the installation process
Installing your wind vanes is an easy process that needs to be followed carefully so as to make sure that the wind vane will always work. First of all, you need to find a secure place to affix your vane to, and this place needs to be away from any obstructions that could interfere with a blowing wind. It is for this reason that most people install their vanes above their homes, garages or barns.
Buying the correct mounting for your wind vanes
There are a range of different mounting options for your vane, such as side mounting (to install the vane off of the side of your home) or top mounting which is the most common. Make sure that you choose a mounting that suits your purpose, and that is the correct size for your weathervane.
The cupola: an alternative mounting apparatus
The cupola is a stylish housing that not only looks great, but provides a secure housing for your vane – this means that you do not have to purchase additional wind vane mounting apparatus if you purchase the cupola.
