Copper Weathervanes
The new generation of copper weathervanes
Copper weathervanes have been used for years and years by farmers and seafarers to determine the source of blowing wind. Older weathervanes, also known as wind vanes and wind cocks, used to have very ornamental pointers on top that used to break and crumble with age, but now you can get a weathervane that looks great and lasts longer, and comes in a whole variety of exciting designs to adorn your barn or home.
What kind of designs can you choose from?
Traditionally pointers were cockerels or arrows, but nowadays you can get anything from mythological beasts to transportation devices like airplanes and tractors. You can choose any great design that compliments your home or your barn, and they make wonderful gifts too.
What do copper weathervanes actually do?
Weathervanes are primarily used to determine the source of wind. Winds are named by the source of that wind, which makes weathervanes a really great tool to determine the name of the particular wind that is blowing at any particular time.
