Puffins Weathervane
This page features a Puffins weathervane; their distinctive shape cut accurately from sheet steel. This summer we spent a week on the stunning Isle of Mull, and took a (very rough!) boat trip out to the tiny island of Staffa to see the Puffin colony there. It was fascinating to watch these quirky, distinctive birds diving into the water to catch fish and resting on the surface. I can definitely see why so many people love these sociable sea birds!
We don’t do mass production at Black Fox Metalcraft. Each weathervane is made to order in our small family run workshop. That kind of care takes time – around 4 weeks – but our customers think the resulting quality of workmanship is well worth the wait. If you’re working to a deadline, just let us know before you order – we’ll do our best to help, or can send a personalised voucher if you need a gift in a hurry.
Our weathervanes are finished to perfection using a tough, weather-resistant powder coating. If you want to know how it’s done, take a look at our blog. If you need help with where to place a weathervane, or are unsure about fittings, we’re happy to swap brackets or poles and offer advice to make sure everything works perfectly.

Designed and crafted entirely in the UK, Black Fox Metalcraft's weathervanes are all electroplated as standard, meaning their lifespan will be significantly longer than that of a non electroplated version. The matt black powdercoat gives a traditional aesthetic, which because of the high standard of the finish, will be maintained for many years to come. For advice on choosing the most appropriate size of weathervane for your property and the location, have a look at the weathervanes installation page.
