Many of our single engine, motorcycle and some of the military weathervanes are made after the order is received and indicate they are on backorder.  This is due to the custom nature of the piece.  If you are interested in a custom weathervane with your N number on the fuselage, note the tail number requested when ordering.    Airline weathervanes are kept in stock and available for shipment.

We offer four different mounting solutions at an extra cost if needed.  These are available for the Roof Gable, Wooden Fence Post, Roof Peak and a Stand Alone Mount.  

All our weathervanes are made from 14 gauge Made in USA steel.  Each piece is cut on our CNC plasma table, placed in an acid bath to remove mill scale and plasma dross then passivated in a baking soda solution to neutralize the action of the acid.  Next the metal is media blasted to provide a superior surface for the powder coat.  The powder coating is a process where a fine powder is electrostatically bonded to the metal and then placed in a 400 degree oven to cure.  The result is a durable UV resistant finish that is resistant to the effects of wind, rain and UV radiation. Each piece has been custom created by Scott Snyder.

Standard color is a smooth black matte finish.  Other colors are available at additional cost.  An interesting option is our sparkle finishes in silver and color shifting sparkle.  You can see the rainbow effect here in this short video clip.

The weathervane shaft is machined on both ends to accept sealed bearings so the wind vane arm rotates freely to indicate wind direction.  The bearings are sealed and lubricated for a long trouble-free life.  The bottom of the weathervane shaft terminates in a standard pipe thread for easy mounting on various locations.
