Do you even know what these are?
These are good old-fashioned weathervanes! I cannot remember the last time I saw these, let alone used them. They were indispensable to farmers as a tool to indicate wind directions. Now, you can tell it through the use of anemometer instruments, but you can still see weather vanes in farms and in homes which have gardens, but they serve mostly as modest decorations.
The whitehall weathervane is most famous for their painted aluminum series, most noted in their beautiful 30-inch series. Lest you think that roosters are the only ones you see in weathervanes, you can see a horse, pigeon and even a carousel.
If the whitehall series is famous for their aluminum weathervanes, good directions weathervane is famous their copper series. They also come in a great variety of sizes, with the largest one designed to sit atop of a pointed roof. They are also completely rust-free and easy to maintain, two criteria needed for outdoor decorations as they will be subject to extremes of temperature.
Most of these series have already come out with aluminum versions too.
The garden weathervane series take off with a modern design to their look, as most weathervanes come in the form of animals which are painted and as big as 30 inches. While animals are still a popular choice, there are modern fixtures as well already – cars, helicopters, even a cowboy!
While there are people who still associate roosters with weather vanes, there have been many different styles that have come out. A pig is also a common weathervane animal, would you believe? You might also see a bear or a cow telling you what direction the wind is blowing. Whatever it is that you are looking for, chances are that someone has thought of it and you will be able to find the design that is perfect for you.
