How Our Bespoke Service Works

Discuss Your Vision: Share your ideas with us. Relevant photos or sketches are welcome to be emailed over if you have any, but we are equally happy to begin work based on a description of what you imagine. The more information you are able to give initially, the easier the design process will be, therefore keeping design work included in the price of the weathervane.
Custom Design Process: Our skilled, degree level designer will create the personalised weathervane design based on your vision. You will have the opportunity to suggest amendments during the design process, so you can be involved as much or as little as you desire. Designs are transferred to our computer and converted to a vector file so you can see exactly what the design will look like prior to ordering.
Handcrafted with Care: The bespoke design is cut from a sheet of premium steel. Your weathervane is TIG welded with care from our workshop in the Scottish Borders, before being electroplated with a layer of zinc to prevent rust. This process significantly increases the longevity of your weathervane. Any detail to be gilded or painted by hand is done by us, at home.
Delivered to You: Your bespoke weathervane will be shipped to your doorstep using a reliable 48 hour courier, with full instructions and ready to install.
