Weathervane Posts

The most crucial part of a weathervane is its spine.

  A weathervanes’ spine is the Post & Spindle (mast, rod, pin, pole, post, shaft, etc.).   A post has 3 sections. The bottom of the post is the foot which plants the weathervane. The middle section is the trunk consisting of the compass directionals, balls or other ornaments. The short, thin portion at the top is the spindle which disappears into the weathervane figure. Inside the figure is a bearing so the figure hangs and rotates on this pivot point. There are 3 basic types of posts; the shaped cast aluminum posts used for the wrought Iron look weathervanes, the economy threaded steel posts, then the welded rod and pin posts in stainless steel, and bronze which are the superior product available.

STAINLESS STEEL WEATHERVANE POSTS

(304) Grade Stainless steel. For centuries, the post & spindle was made of steel and painted black. Frequent re-painting is required to keep the post from rusting and history has shown that in most cases, weathervane failure  is due to steel posts that were not well maintained. Ferro Weathervanes offers posts made from stainless steel which is rust resistant and never needs painting. Stainless Steel is standard on all Hand-Sculpted weathervanes.

PREMIUM BRONZE WEATHERVANE POSTS

High Silicone Bronze Alloy.  The alloy we use for this premium Post is exceptionally strong, weather resistant, and beautiful. This excellent marine grade corrosion resistant bronze alloy is as strong as stainless steel but the golden chestnut color of the metal is more beautiful, needs no maintenance, and blends perfectly with the brass and copper colors of weathervane figures while aging gracefully to a fine verdigris patina.  It is the perfect post choice for weathervanes to be heirlooms.

ALUMINUM WEATHERVANE POSTS

The Olde Style cast aluminum weathervanes have been around for about 70 years. The attractively shaped posts are cast in aluminum and do not rust but do fatigue with old age. If you have one of these old vanes and need a new post, we have the part.

STEEL WEATHERVANE POSTS

Steel posts are shipped economically in 3 sections. The 3 parts are threaded and easily screw together.  Use a product like Loctite on the threads so they don’t become unthreaded in the wind.  This post is the same type supplied with weathervanes from China like some Good Direction weathervanes. This post comes painted black and should be re-painted periodically to prevent rusting.
