A weather vane is one of those rare details that is both useful and beautiful — it tells you which way the wind is blowing while giving your roofline a finished, characterful look. Our handmade metal weathervanes are designed in-house and laser-cut from solid steel, then powder-coated to survive rain, snow, and years of sun without rusting or fading. Whether you want a working wind direction indicator for a barn, a decorative crown for a gazebo, or a bold silhouette above your front porch, this collection covers dozens of designs in two sizes and three mounting styles.

Handmade steel built to last outdoors

Every weathervane in this collection starts as a solid sheet of steel. Each design is drawn in-house, laser-cut for clean, precise edges, then bent, welded where needed, and finished with a durable powder coat. That coating is what separates a vane that lasts a decade from one that streaks with rust after a single winter — it resists moisture, UV fade, and chipping, so your piece keeps its sharp outline season after season.

Because the vanes are made to order rather than mass-produced, the balance and finish are consistent. Nothing is stamped out in bulk and left rough; each piece is assembled and checked so it looks as good on your roof as it does in the photo.

A weather vane that actually reads the wind

This is a real instrument, not just an ornament. Each weathervane spins freely on a calibrated steel rod with a smooth support ball, so the slightest breeze turns it and you get an accurate reading at a glance. Beneath the vane sits a four-point N-S-E-W wind rose that orients the whole assembly and makes the direction easy to read from the ground.

The rotation stays smooth over time because the moving parts are engineered to fit precisely and are protected from the weather. Set it up once and it keeps doing its job — quietly turning with the wind for years.

Dozens of designs and two sizes

From classic roosters, horses, eagles, and songbirds to motorcycles, sailing ships, witches, and dragons, the range covers dozens of original silhouettes. There is something here for a traditional farmhouse, a lakeside cabin, a modern home, or a themed workshop. If you have an idea that isn't in the catalogue, custom weathervanes can be made to your own design.

Most designs come in two sizes: Small (roughly 19.7 x 25.6 in assembled), which suits gazebos, sheds, and smaller structures, and Medium (roughly 27.6 x 39.4 in), which is proportioned for a one- to two-storey house. Choosing the right size keeps the vane readable from the ground without overwhelming the roofline.

Three mounts to fit almost any structure

Every kit includes your choice of one of three mounts, so a single design can go almost anywhere. The gable-roof mount sits on a pitched roof peak, the flat mount fixes to a flat surface, and the threaded mount attaches to posts and railings. That means the same vane can crown a house roof, a garage, a barn, a gazebo, or a garden post.

The complete kit contains the rotating vane, the four-point wind rose, a calibrated 14 mm steel rod, a support ball for smooth spin, and your chosen mount — everything needed for installation, in one box.

Easy to install without a specialist

Fitting a weathervane sounds like a job for a roofer, but it isn't. The vane arrives ready to assemble: you fix your chosen mount to the roof, post, or flat surface, insert the calibrated rod, and set the wind rose and vane in place. Most customers do it themselves in well under an hour with everyday tools.

Once installed, the vane needs essentially no maintenance. The powder-coated steel doesn't need repainting or oiling — it simply keeps turning with the wind, season after season.

A finishing touch with real character

Beyond the practical wind reading, a weathervane changes how a building looks. It draws the eye upward, adds a traditional silhouette against the sky, and gives farmhouses, cabins, gazebos, barns, and modern homes alike a sense of completeness that's hard to achieve any other way.

That mix of function and character also makes a weathervane a memorable gift — for a housewarming, a new barn or gazebo, or anyone who loves distinctive, handmade things for their home.
