WEATHERVANES
Why should I buy your weathervane? We are good at what we do! Since 1971, we have been creating high quality pieces. Each weathervane is hand-hammered at our shop in Maine with quality copper. We have over 600 designs and are adding to that list every year with the next generation of coppersmiths. We hope you find the perfect artwork for you and your home with us!
What comes with my weathervane? Your copper weathervane purchase includes the weathervane figure, standard directionals, two spacer balls, the rod, ring and assembly instructions.
Where are you weathervanes made? All of our weathervane figures and copper products are made in our shop in Maine. Our products are made to order so we are never out of stock of your favorite design. Our weathervane parts and mounts are imported from overseas and throughout the USA.
How do I mount my weathervane? You can either use a cupola or a mounting bracket and both are available for purchase. You do not need a roof mount for our weathervanes if you're using one of our cupolas - our cupolas come weathervane ready.
What are your weathervanes made of? Our weathervanes are made of copper. They include the copper figure, copper spacer balls, brass directionals, rod and ring. Our weathervanes are high quality and built to last for years. They are still hand-hammered allowing the detail in each design to shine through.
Will my weathervane survive in the harsh outdoors? Our copper weathervanes are built to last using 16 ounce copper and made to withstand all your normal weather conditions. However, we cannot guarantee your weathervane will survive a hurricane, tornado, lightening strike or other such catastrophy.
Do you make custom weathervanes? Sometimes - it doesn't hurt to ask. If it is a modification to a design such as adding wings to a heart or a cape to a dog - it is often something we can do. As for an entire new design - we are adding to our designs every year so it could be on our list of new weathervanes coming.
How do you get the patina finish? There are two ways. The most popular is to let your weathervane age naturally. It will take some time, but it will turn brown, black and eventually patina green. Your local weather has a lot to do with how long it will take. The second option is that we can apply a patina acid via spray to accelerate the aging process. Applied patina will vary on each weathervane.
How long will it take to get my weathervane? We make each weathervane one at a time. We do try to have some of the best-sellers in stock ready to ship fast. We generally are about 4-7 business days from when the order is received until when it leaves our shop. Need it faster for a present or have workers on site - give us a call and we will do our best to accommodate.
CUPOLAS
What size cupola do I need?
The general rule of thumb is to have at least one inch of cupola for every foot of your roof line.
Some people suggest that for a more appealing look to go one cupola size higher than the measurements suggest. Others love the look of a smaller cupola. It's important to remember that this is your cupola! You can have any size you want. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
How will my cupola arrive?
Your cupola will arrive in 3 pieces - base, center and top. It is the customers responsibility to assemble the cupola.
