Weather Vanes

Find information regarding weather vanes under this Yellow Pages® heading. Weathervanes are the directional implements on top of structures that show the direction that the wind is currently blowing – to the North, the South, in the East and West. Aside from pointing to the direction in which the wind is blowing from, they can also be great display ornaments and in truth, there are collectors that pay thousands for rare weathervanes. The shapes and emblems of weathervanes can be endless, from birds in flight, to farm animals to sea creatures including mythical creatures such as mermaids.

Weathervanes can be found everywhere, but are typically more prevalent in the rural areas. Weathervanes come in all sizes too – they can be large or small depending on the usage, the size of the structure and the tastes of the purchaser. Finals are the cap for the top of a copula or weathervane pole. Weathervane finials also come in a variety of unique styles and materials, including brass and copper. Finials come in ornate or traditional styles. There are also table top weathervanes that are popular in home decor, particularly when you’re going for the country look. Tabletop weathervanes are a perfect accent piece for your office or home.

Most weathervanes are crafted from copper, steel or aluminium. Rooftop weather vanes are typically durable and weatherproof. Generally they are made from steel, aluminium or copper. Steel weather vanes are well loved for their strength and most offer a powder coat finish for extra protection. Aluminium weather vanes come in brightly painted colors or metallic polished finishes. Popular rooftop weather vane styles include birds, nautical designs, roosters and horses.
