Description
Take a gander at this amazing copper goose weathervane which captures a goose in flight. The goose weathervane figure has impressive sculptural qualities with the body, wings, feathers, face and bill nicely defined to create an excellent, high quality weathervane with intricate detail
The goose has a large 710mm wingspan and looks impressive as it turns and flys in the wind to show which direction the wind is blowing. It creates an impressive and imposing feature perfect for all kinds of roofs and structures to brighten up the garden or outdoor space. It would be a perfect feature or gift idea for those that love geese, wildfowl, waterfowl or perhaps live near a body of water such as a pond or lake or maybe keep geese at a farm
We were surprised to find out there are many species of Geese to be found worldwide and also there is a popular outdoor weather brand called Canada Goose
Weathervane Rod
The weathervane rod that fits into the bracket is 19.5mm diameter steel tubing that is treated with a durable exterior black powdercoat paint
Standard Bracket
Each weathervane is supplied with a standard 125mm (5 inch) eaves bracket. Other brackets and fixings are available (see Brackets & Fixings tab for more details)
Features
• Easy to assemble and install (including step by step instructions)
• Includes everything you need to construct the weathervane: Steel rod, NSEW directionals, copper globes and weathervane figure
• Exclusive Single Point Contact design allows the weathervane to spin freely in the wind
Construction
• Copper: The weathervane designs are handcrafted from pure copper and brazed. Brazing may be visible on some designs but doesn't tend to lessen the beauty of the lovely copper weathervane design. Globes and spacers are also made from pure copper, copper over time naturally ages to a Verdigris patina. To delay the onset of the natural patina and extend the look of the polished copper finish a clearcoat enamel can be applied. The copper needs to be cleaned with soapy water, wiped with a micro cloth and left to dry before coating with enamel
• Brass: Cast brass is used for the NSEW cardinal points on the range of copper weathervanes
• Steel: Rods and brackets to mount the copper weathervanes are made from steel. The steel is treated with a durable exterior black powdercoat paint. The finish should be good for a reasonable amount of time out in the elements but in time if the steel rods and brackets weather they can be painted with an exterior metal paint such as Hammerite which restores the finish and will help preserve and extend the life of the fittings. Clear mastic can also be used on any joints for example where the rod is inserted and secured into the bracket to seal and further weatherproof and prolong the life of the steel bracket and rod
