Good Directions: Patchen Horse Full Size Weathervane

The Patchen Horse Full Size Weathervane: About Weathervanes
Just a few facts about weathervanes in general. The N-E-S-W directional represents the compass points of the earth and they stay in a fixed position on the weathervane. The weathervane figure itself, will always point into the wind. In other words, the figure will always point in the direction from where the wind is blowing. You should always buy the weathervane that best displays your personality, or identifies the area in which you live. We have many different weathervane styles and mounting options to choose from to do just that.

The Patchen Horse Full Size Weathervane: About the Product
The weathervane figure and spacer balls are made of pure 16 ounce, 24-gauge copper. The directionals are made of solid brass, and the rod is brass and stainless steel. This ensures a rust and maintenance free product, perfect for a typically inaccessible weathervane. Mounting and display options for all weathervanes are sold separately and are available in many varieties to suit your needs.

The Patchen Horse Full Size Weathervane: About the Finish
This product is available in two finishes: bright polished copper and antiqued (patina) copper.

To some people, the bright polished finish is more appealing. After assembly, these weathervane figures are placed on buffers to give them luster and shine. If you desire to keep the polished finish looking new, we recommend applying a coat of clear lacquer or polyurethane. The polished weathervanes are not treated in the factory so they will start to naturally tarnish. At first, the finish will darken, like an old copper penny. Then, after several years, the surface will begin to bloom with a beautiful natural green/blue patina.

The antiqued copper has an artificial finish applied in the factory to give the weathervane the appearance of many years of elemental exposure. To obtain the charming antiqued finish, a special green/blue patina is applied to the high-quality copper material. It is a long lasting maintenance free finish that will look like an antique right from the start.
