The proud eagle weathervane: it’s time for a new bird to roost

Windvane

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

How to mount your new windvane

When you purchase your new windvane you do not get the mounting apparatus with it. This is quite simply because there are hundreds of different places where you could mount it, and you need a different specialized mounting apparatus for each of those places. Thus before you decide to purchase your new vane you need to think carefully about where you would like to put it, and then purchase the additional mounting at the same time.

Where to mount your new windvane

The weathervane is a flexible and versatile object, able to work almost anywhere where there aren’t any obstructions. You can mount it on the side of the roof of your home, on top of the pinnacle of a building, on top of a one, two or three car garage, barn or any building where the peak is greater than 12 ft.

…and finally, how to use your new wind instrument

Reading your new weathervane is a lot easier than you think it is. All you need to do is see where the pointer settles, line up that direction with the compass directionals below it, and then name the wind.

Cupola

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

What exactly is a ‘cupola’?

Cupolas have been used for hundreds of years as a stylish architectural accent. They resemble a small wooden box with a roof on top. The sides usually have slats in them as the cupola is used to naturally ventilate a home or building. Nowadays this structure is used to provide a classy mounting for a weathervane.

Where exactly does the weathervane go?

The weathervane fits into a hole at the pinnacle of the structure’s roof. The inside of the cupola is strategically designed to house the weathervane safely and securely, so you do not need to purchase additional weathervane mounting with your new pointer and rod combination.

What is the cupola made out of?

This architectural accent is made from the finest materials. The wooden body is constructed out of either cedar wood or pine, and the roof is covered with the finest copper metal.
