  • Description

    This steel hunting weathervane graces the roofscape with its captivating presence, fitted on a double arch ridge tile. A strikingly unique creation, this weathervane serves not only as a functional weathervane but also as a distinctive finial ornamentation. Standing at an overall height of 39 inches (99cm), the ridge base is 45 degree angled, measuring 12 inches (296mm) in length and 9 inches (225mm) in width.

    The innovative design negates traditional bracket mounting. The process involves securing the ridge tile with mortar, eliminating the need for intrusive drilling and bracket affixation. A robust metal strap, offering flexibility and durability, can be tailored to size. The metal strap is hidden from view with the mortar install of the ridge tile

    The weathervane's purpose extends beyond mere functionality. It becomes a statement piece adaptable to various roof types such as gable ends, hip ends, houses, cottages, sheds, workshops, and summer houses. Its versatility transcends roofs, finding a place within gardens for ornamental embellishment. This weathervane becomes more than a directional indicator, it becomes a conduit for intricate detailing, enriching and elevating the visual allure of the roofline. With standard terracotta as a base, the option for alternative colours and finishes ensures a customisable touch, making it an ideal choice for those seeking both form and function in their architectural adornments.

  • 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.

  • Lead Time

    Please allow up to 4–5 weeks from ordering for this weathervane finial to be manufactured and delivered (unless you have contacted us prior to check lead time)

    We tend to make these to order, lead time represents manufacturing time for producing the ridge tile and bracket.
