During the
late 19th century, with railroad transportation allowing for easier travel
across the United States, weather vane manufacturers began offering animal
designs such as buffalo and bears to appeal to the new western market.

mountain home. The photo at the right gives you an idea just how large our bear
weathervane really is. It's Huge!

This style was popular from the 1700's right up to the Victorian era, and is also very striking with contemporary vanes. |
 Diagram A - Headblock only Traditional mounting of a weather vane into the solid headblock of a cupola, tower, turret or gazebo, or into the ridgepole of a roof. This is the "old fashioned" traditional way of mounting a weather
vane. It is still suitable today for smaller vanes up to 36" wide. Our
basic 28 1/2" rod allows for at least 8" - 9" of rod to be
wedged and caulked into a solid headblock or ridgepole, and 16" - 20"
of rod exposed above the apex of roof. |
 Diagram B - Headblock & Brace A preferred traditional mount into the solid headblock of a cupola, tower, turret or gazebo, or into the ridgepole of a roof using a brace for extra strength. Prepare your roof ahead with this headblock and brace system, for an easy and very secure mount. This mount is suitable for any size weather vane. Our basic 28 1/2" rod allows for at least 8" - 9"of rod inside the roof, and 16" - 20" of rod exposed above the apex of the roof. A nail is used to pin the rod to the brace. Larger sized vanes will need proportionally heavier and longer rods. |
