Weathervane Design.

All our weathervanes have been designed by our in house sculptors and pattern makers, they have spent decades refining and redesigning our weathervanes, to create the largest range of high quality wind vanes in the UK.

Our weathervain collection originally started with our traditional rooster or cockerel weathervanes. Traditionally when people think of weathervanes this is the image which springs to mind. Over the years we've added various other weathervane designs to our range in order to provide something more personalised. We then designed our sailboat weathervane, our cat and mouse weathervane and even one with a game season theme!

Recently due to popular demand we've also added a cherub weathervane to our collection. Our cute cupid is sure to fire its arrows in which ever way the wind blows!

Our weathervanes are not to be confused with the cheap steel silhouette weathervanes, which offer no detail!

Weathervane Manufacturing

Based in the Black Country we have always been proud of our ability to provide weathervanes which are manufactured to the highest quality. Our wind vane designs are totally unique to black country metal works and have been adored and admired by our customers for over a decade. Our weathervane manufacturing process has recently evolved with the introduction of our copper weathervanes. These weathervanes are extremely difficult to create and require many years of practise and only the finest skilled craftsman in order to create. Please see our copper weathervane section.

Garden Weathervanes Materials and finishes

Our Garden weathervanes are available in a selection of different materials and finishes. The range originally started using only cast iron for our wind vanes, this enabled us to create a high quality long lasting weathervane in two different finishes being rustic or black. These cast iron weathervanes looked beautiful adorning any garden or patio and there success was attributed to there unique designs and that we have always refused to use cheap, weak materials such as steal.

Our copper weathervanes have received an outstanding amount of attention. Our Copper eagle weathervane to mention one is truly stunning! Please do look at the pictures and note the detail and the quality of the finish. We are the only company within the UK who are currently supplying these copper weathervanes which we attribute to the level of skill and time which is required to manufacture each piece.

Weathervanes by definition

By definition a weathervane is a "mechanical device attached to an elevated structure which rotates freely to show the direction of the wind". However over the ages weather it has been a wet finger in the wind or mounting a flag, the wind direction has always held a lasting importance to us. Weathervanes date back to as early as 47BC although not as we know them now they have always been used to great effect. Over the centuries weathervanes have evolved and the designs used have become more decorative, almost like pieces of Art. An example is the famous weathervane at Lords Cricket ground or even the weathervane which was mounted to Dover Castle to help sailors navigate the wind. Whether decorative or purely functional weathervanes have a unique and vast history!
