Are your weathervanes suitable for coastal areas in the UK?

Yes, all of Black Fox Metalcraft's weathervanes are electroplated with zinc and then powder coated. They’ve been tested in coastal areas since 2012. For even longer durability, grade 316 stainless steel is recommended, though it is significantly more expensive than steel.

How heavy are good quality weathervanes?

• The weight varies by size, design, and bracket. A typical 24” weathervane weighs around 5–6 kg.
• Weathervane sails must be balanced, which determines the materials and weight used.
• Customers often describe our weathervanes as sturdy and well made.

How tall are your weathervanes from the roof to the top of the sail?
