Handmade Stainless Steel Weathervanes

Every Black Forge Art weathervane is handmade to order in the UK from rust-free stainless steel and built as a fully functional wind direction indicator — not simply a decorative silhouette.

Combining traditional metalworking with modern precision manufacturing, each weathervane is individually made, finished and tested before being carefully packaged for delivery.

See how our weathervanes are made and learn more about the differences between our builds in our workshop Q&A video:

  • 100% stainless steel construction
  • 304 stainless steel, precision TIG-welded using 316 marine-grade stainless steel filler
  • Hardened rotation pin and ball-bearing mechanism for smooth movement
  • Etched, primed and powder-coated black for a durable outdoor finish
  • Supplied with stainless steel fittings and non-drying grease for installation
  • Covered by our 15-year guarantee

Our designs combine the character of traditional British weathervanes with modern stainless steel construction, allowing us to produce detailed silhouettes without compromising strength, movement or weather resistance.

Alongside our weathervanes, Black Forge Art also produces bespoke signs, architectural metalwork and public art commissions throughout the UK.

Weathervane FAQs

· How do your weathervanes work?

Every Black Forge Art™ weathervane is expertly balanced to rotate freely on our weatherproof stainless-steel pin and precision ball bearing mechanism. This ensures smooth, consistent movement in any breeze and long-term reliability.

Your chosen design and arrow simply sleeve onto the hardened bearing pin, creating a durable, low-maintenance pivot point.

Powered entirely by the wind — no batteries required.

· What does a weathervane do?

A weathervane (or wind-vane) is used to show the wind direction — telling you where the wind is coming from. The earliest versions were simple arrows with a fletched (pennant) tail.

Decorative motifs like the cockerel/rooster later became traditional. While many modern pieces are purely ornamental, every Black Forge Art weathervane is both decorative and fully functional, accurately indicating wind direction while enhancing your property.

· What steel are your weathervanes made from?

We manufacture our weathervanes from 304-grade stainless steel, with welds in 316-grade stainless steel for superior strength and corrosion resistance.

Our Stainless Steel Collection features entirely stainless-steel assemblies that are rust-free and backed by a 15-year guarantee. They require no galvanising or extra protective coatings.

· How are your weathervanes painted?

All designs are professionally powder-coated in a deep, traditional black finish. Alternative colours can be arranged on request as part of our bespoke service.

· Can you make bespoke or personalised weathervanes?

Absolutely. We create bespoke and personalised weathervanes from initial idea to finished piece. Share a photo, sketch or brief and our designers will bring it to life.
