ⓘ Laser Cut or Traditional Blacksmith? – Build Comparison & Video ▼
Both builds are handmade in our workshop using rust-free stainless steel, with the same durable black powder-coated finish and fully functional rotating mechanism. The main differences are in their construction and traditional detailing.

Laser Cut Build

Precision laser-cut and folded stainless steel construction, offering a clean, smart finish with excellent strength and durability. Available in: Small (45cm) and Medium (60cm).

Traditional Blacksmith Build

Our premium, heavier-duty construction, featuring a beautifully hand-forged, one-piece NSEW cross. Ideal for customers looking for a more traditional appearance and substantial metalwork. Available in: Medium (60cm), Large (80cm) and Extra Large (100cm).

Weathervane FAQs

How Do Your Weathervanes Work?

Every Black Forge Art weathervane is carefully balanced to rotate freely on a hardened stainless steel pin and ball bearing mechanism, allowing it to respond smoothly to changes in wind direction.

The weathervane top simply sleeves onto the bearing pin, creating a strong and reliable pivot point designed for permanent outdoor use.

What Does a Weathervane Do?

A weathervane, or wind vane, shows the direction the wind is coming from. While many modern weathervanes are primarily decorative, every Black Forge Art weathervane is designed to be both decorative and fully functional.

What Are Your Weathervanes Made From?

Our weathervanes are handmade from 304 grade stainless steel and designed for permanent outdoor use. The stainless steel construction is rust-free and backed by our 15-year guarantee.

How Are Your Weathervanes Finished?

Our weathervanes are prepared, primed and powder coated black for a durable outdoor finish. Alternative colours can also be arranged on request.

Which Size Weathervane Should I Choose?

Our size guide gives a general indication of the most suitable size for different buildings, from sheds and garages through to houses and large barns. If you’re unsure, simply send us a photo of where your weathervane will be fitted and we’ll happily advise.

What Is the Difference Between the Laser Cut and Traditional Blacksmith Builds?

Our Laser Cut Build uses clean, modern laser-cut and folded stainless steel construction. Our premium Traditional Blacksmith Build is a heavier construction featuring a hand-forged one-piece NSEW cross.

Where both options are available, watch our short comparison video to see the differences between the two builds and help you choose.

Which Mounting Bracket Do I Need?

The correct bracket depends on where your weathervane will be installed. We offer mounting options for walls, gables, posts, roof ridges, chimneys, cupolas and other locations.

If you’re unsure which bracket you need, send us a photo of the proposed location and we’ll happily recommend the most suitable option.

Can You Make a Bespoke or Personalised Weathervane?

Absolutely. We can create a completely bespoke weathervane from a photograph, sketch or idea. We’ll create the design and send you a visual for approval before manufacture.
