Welsh dragon weathervane fixed to a round ridge tile finial capping

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.

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.

What if you don't offer delivery to my location?:

We regret that we can currently only ship to the locations listed on the checkout and sadly can't offer delivery options elsewhere because of the variations in pricing and customs rules.
