FAQ

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 handmade in our shop in Maine with quality copper.  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 weathervanes 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.


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. 

Where are your weathervane products made? All of our copper weathervane figures are made right here in our factory in Maine. Our weathervane parts and mounts are imported from overseas and throughout the USA. 

Will my weathervane survive in the harsh outdoors? Our copper weathervanes are built to last using 16 ounce copper and made to withstand all 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.

How do you get the patina finish? We apply a patina acid via spray to accelerate the aging process. Applied patina will vary on each weathervane.

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. It is recommended to go one cupola size higher than the measurements suggest for a more appealing look.

Where are your cupolas made? Our new line of cupolas are made right here in our factory in Maine. We also make our own bird feeders and birdhouses. We also 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.
