This Elk Weather Vane, proudly made in the U.S.A., showcases exceptional craftsmanship from heavy-duty 14 gauge steel. Despite the photograph's inability to fully capture it, the beautiful, warm, brown metallic texture of the finished product is truly stunning. The elk figure is laser cut, ensuring there are no unsightly welding marks, which results in a more attractive and detailed weather vane. Unlike simpler silhouettes, this weather vane features strategic laser cuts that add dimension, style, and intricate detail.
Each steel weather vane undergoes a rigorous three-step production process to ensure longevity and resilience:
- Zinc Chromate Plating: This initial layer improves adhesion, enhances durability, and provides rust prevention.
- Antique Copper Vein Powder Coat: The second layer, baked onto the surface, creates an appealing antique copper finish.
- Clear Powder Coat: The final protective layer guards against UV rays, preventing fading and offering a durable, scratch-resistant finish.
The Elk Weather Vane set includes the elk figure, sealed ball bearing windcups for smooth spinning in the lightest breeze, and directional indicators (about 2¾" high). It also offers a variety of mounting options to suit your specific needs:
- Garden Pole: A 60" pole that inserts into the ground, with a 30" steadying ground stake.
- Roof: An adjustable mount suitable for most peaked roofs, including a 15" rod.
- Deck: A horizontal mount with a 3"x3" plate, including a 15" rod.
