Why Choose Black Fox Metalcraft?

All of Black Fox Metalcraft’s decorative iron work is TIG welded - a highly skilled method of welding that produces very neat, precise welds. We electroplate as standard so no matter what the British weather does, your metalwork is as protected from rust as it can be.

Black Fox Metalcraft prioritises quality over quick profits. We are a UK-based family business that enjoys what we do, and our reputation for creating beautiful metal crafts has grown as a result. Since 2012, the durability of our products has been proven time and again, while our skill and experience have grown.

Black Fox Metalcraft’s ability and willingness to create unique and beautiful custom metalwork designs at no extra cost sets us apart from any competition.

About Us

Weathervanes Collection

This page exhibits a huge portfolio of existing designs all created by and totally unique to Black Fox Metalcraft. 

Whatever your interests, we can create a quality weathervane to match. Designed by a professional illustrator, they are highly customisable for the perfect personalised gift. We take a genuine interest in any theme and enjoy the diverse range of custom weather vanes we get to create.

Our weathervane sails balance perfectly to create a fully functional weather reading tool that is able to stand out and be admired as a piece of art in its own right - a great way to top off a new building or celebrate the history of an old one. Fixing brackets can also be customised to fit any property or outbuilding.

Laser-Cut Metal Signs

A quality, unique metal sign can be the first impression passers-by will get of your business, shop or farm so it is worth taking the time to get right. This page displays our portfolio of double-sided hanging signs for homes, businesses, pubs, farms and retail shops, in a large range of designs covering every subject from traditional farming & countryside scenes to historic buildings and vintage vehicles. Larger-scale bespoke signs for village gateways can also be produced.

We love the challenge of bringing your ideas to life. All of our wrought iron hanging signs are meticulously designed by an artist with 20 years of experience. There is usually no additional charge for custom designs - we take a genuine interest in any subject & love the variety of custom sign designs we are asked to create.

Testimonials

Absolutely perfect.  A
superb product from a very efficient craftsmen lead, small, English engineering company.  Highly delighted.  Will send a picture when (and if ) the sky returns to blue instead of black.  Thank you very much.

Malcolm Hutton

We LOVE it - thank you so much for creating such a unique and beautiful
design!

Ed Muncie

I have at last got
the weathervane fixed onto the gable end of my bungalow  and I am extremely pleased with it. The workmanship is of a high standard and the design
is very effective.

James Reynolds

My parents received the weathervane yesterday and absolutely love
it!!! It´s perfect! Thank you!

Sally Davies

Just wanted to thank you both so much for our sign.  We are absolutely delighted with it. We knew it would be good but not that good. It's perfect!

Jo & Andrew Briggs

Just to let you know that our oak tree weathervane has safely arrived and I am so thrilled with it! It was very well packed too and it really has been a pleasure dealing with your company. Nothing was too much trouble.

Joan & Bryan Howard

Beautiful work. Thank you. 

Graham O'Neill

I'm very pleased with both
the design and quality of manufacture.

Andrew Wooley

My lovely wife bought me the attached as part of my 60th birthday celebrations. It’s fantastic and particularly relevant as I drive a Landrover Defender 90. The workshop shown is new and made of pallets and recycled, reused and donated
materials. This new element sits proudly on the top. Many
thanks to the team there.
