  • Description

    Elevate the allure of your rooftop with the captivating pirate boat weathervane, meticulously fashioned to adorn your ridge tile sans the conventional brackets. Forged from robust steel, this weathervane not only fulfills its utilitarian role but also bestows a distinctive and enchanting ornamentation to your roofline. Emblazoned with a pirate ship motif and boasting a gracefully swiveling motion, it serves as a visual indicator of the prevailing wind direction, adding a touch of maritime charm to your roof.

    Our ridge tile fittings, available in a variety of angles accommodating diverse roof pitches, empower you to select the perfect match for your roof's unique incline. While terracotta stands as a timeless choice for ridge tiles, the collection spans an array of colours and styles, ensuring alignment with your aesthetic preferences.

    The choice to eschew brackets in favor of the ridge tile fitting stems from a commitment to streamline installation and safeguard the structural integrity of your roof. Traditional bracket applications often entail drilling and may pose water sealing challenges. Contrastingly, the ridge tile fitting securely fastens to the roof using mortar, ensuring a trouble free installation. Moreover, a concealed mechanical strap beneath the fitting provides additional stability and versatility, offering multiple attachment points for screws, nails, or integration into the roof structure. Once secured, the strap discreetly conceals during the ridge base installation, guaranteeing a seamless, watertight finish.

    Versatility defines the pirate boat weathervane, suitable for a spectrum of roof types , from gable ends to houses, buildings, cottages, sheds, workshops, and even summer cabins. Beyond rooftops, its aesthetic allure extends to gardens as an ornamental centerpiece. With this weathervane, you not only embrace functionality but transform your roof into a captivating design feature, turning heads and sparking conversations. Immerse your outdoor space in nautical whimsy while enjoying the practical benefits interwoven with form and function.

  • 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.
