What will happen to my weathervane's shiny finish?

The copper weathervane will react to the elements of the weather and will slowly turn from a reddish-brown natural copper color to a darker brownish-black and eventually to the natural green patina finish. This process starts almost immediately with exposure to the elements and can take up to 10 years or so to complete - much depends on the weather conditions in your area.

Do I need mounting hardware if I have a cupola?

Our cupolas come ready to install a weathervane and mounting hardware is NOT needed. If an existing cupola is being used - a 3/4" hole (for standard size weathervanes) must be drilled in the center of the cupola roof and a secure brace must be inside the cupola with a 3/4" hole in the center of the board.
