Horse verdigris weathervane mounted on a half round roof ridge finial
- Description
Fitted on a gracefully curving half round roof ridge, the copper verdigris horse weathervane is more than a mere embellishment, it's a distinctive and enchanting addition to your home's exterior. Crafted for those seeking an extraordinary flourish for their roof, this weathervane merges aesthetics with functionality. The horse, poised in mid gallop, elegantly twirls with the breeze, skillfully indicating the wind's direction.
Included with the weathervane is a ridge tile fitting, available in the timeless terracotta shade or an array of other colours and finishes. Standing at an impressive 31.5 inches (80cm) in height, the half round ridge boasts a base measuring 10 inches (24 cm) wide, 12 inches (30 cm) long, and 8 inches (20.5 cm) high.
Installation is a low hassle affair, sparing you the complexities of drilling or attaching brackets. The half round roof ridge fitting smoothly integrates with mortar, ensuring a swift and straightforward setup. Alternatively, a resilient yet pliable metal strap provides a mechanical option, its pattern of pre cut holes facilitating secure attachment to the roof via screws, nails, or alternative fastening methods. This additional feature, concealed during traditional mortar installation, fortifies the weathervane's stability.
Versatility defines this horse ridge weathervane, adaptable to a spectrum of roofs, from gable ends to cottages, sheds, workshops, and even summer homes. Beyond its rooftop allure, it moonlights as a captivating garden ornament. This weathervane, with its intricate details and captivating form, draws attention skyward, transforming your roof into a statement of unique charm.
- Brackets & Fixings
This weathervane finial can insalled in the following ways:
Mortar bedding:
The traditional installation method is to bed the finial onto the roof using mortar, in the same way as ridge tiles are fitted. For larger or heavier finials, additional mechanical fixing can be used for extra stability.
Mechanical strap fixing with mortar:
Many finials are supplied with a concealed galvanised metal fixing strap secured beneath the ridge base. The adjustable strap can be cut to length and fixed to the roof structure using screws, nails or mortar. Once installed, the strap is hidden beneath the mortar bedding, leaving a clean and seamless finish.
Dry fixing systems:
Some roofs use dry fix systems that secure ridge tiles and finials without mortar. These systems typically use brackets or mechanical fixings. If you are using a dry ridge system, please contact us to confirm whether your chosen finial can be adapted for compatibility.
