WEATHERVANES
Why should I buy your weathervane? We are good at what we do! Since 1971, we have been a family business that continues to create high quality pieces. Each weathervane is hand-hammered in our shop in Maine with quality copper. We have over 600 designs and are adding to that list every year. 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 do you get the clear coat finish? We apply a clear coat spray to help keep the shine for a few years. The clear coat would need to be reapplied periodically to keep the shine forever.
Copper Weathervane Options. (Available on most copper weathervanes - scrolled directionals for full size weathervanes only)
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 unbroken roof line. It is recommended to go one cupola size higher than the measurements suggest for a more appealing look, however it is always what looks good to you.
Where are your cupolas made? Some of our cupolas in our retail store were made right here in our factory in Maine. We also make our own bird feeders and birdhouses. We primarily now have Amish built cupolas available for sale.
How will my cupola arrive? Your cupola(s) will arrive in 3 pieces - base, center and top. It is the customers responsibility to assemble the cupola.
Where are you located? Our seasonal showroom is located in Trenton, Maine at 852 Bar Harbor Road. Our shipping and call center is located on Route 9 in Eddington, Maine. Stop by our showroom and see our wide variety of weathervanes, cupolas and gifts - we are seasonally open from April to October. Hours will vary.
