The Farmhouse range of weathervanes is suitable for most homes and outbuildings. The decorative feature and spacer balls are made from polished copper and brazed together by hand. The cardinal points NSEW are polished brass with a powder-coated black steel rotation rod. Polished copper will quickly lose its lustre, developing an attractive patina before finally turning Verdigris after many years. This process can be slowed down by applying several coats of a good quality clear lacquer spray. The polished brass will discolour in time. A coat of Hammerite will extend the life of the steel rotation rod. All Farmhouse weathervanes are supplied as standard with an Eave Bracket. This bracket projects 125mm (5”) with a 10cm square mounting plate. The Racing Sloop Weathervane is an attractive vessel with sleek lines and will be a firm favourite with anyone who enjoys a nautical lifestyle. Approximate Dimensions (cm): Overall: 44 (W) x 95(H), Racing Sloop: 61 (W) x 12.5 (D) x 68.5 (H).
