Premium Materials & Construction
Our stainless steel weathervanes are built to last. We use 304-grade stainless steel for the main structure and 316 marine-grade filler for every weld — ensuring maximum corrosion resistance, even in coastal environments. Each piece is neatly TIG-welded, then powder-coated in satin black for a flawless, weather-resistant finish.

EXCELLENT Based on 57 reviews Posted on Ian RobertsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely delighted with our sign and have had numerous compliments from our neighbours. Communication with Rod and family was great and would recommend Black Forge to anyone.Posted on Debbie AitkenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had our second weather vane from Black Forge Art due to moving homes. Both times we had really helpful advice and both weathervanes have been very successful and we are very happy with our new one. I would recommend their company and thank you to them!Posted on Roger PowellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. At our local church we had a donation to replace our weather vane. The staff at Black Forge were very helpful in helping us to design a new one which has been successfully been made by them and is now in situ. This has been well received by the community.Posted on Tom StewartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A first class service from Rod, Josh and the team at Black Forge in creating and delivering a bespoke sign of quality within a tight timeframe. Thanks again guys!Posted on Andrea JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I used Black Forge Art to purchase a weathervane for my father’s 80th birthday. This family run company offers exceptional service. The team were all very friendly and helpful. My father was thrilled with the swallows weathervane which takes pride of place on the house. The product is of great quality and I would highly recommend this company to anyone!Posted on Matthew HydeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Black Forge Art were amazing, working from just a few photos and sketches to design and craft our house sign to exactly the right size to fit a circle left empty when we bought our house. We were worried about getting the design right, incorporating our animals, and Black Forge Art were really good with their communication to make sure we got exactly what we were hoping for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.Posted on Jenny CrowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Irnham Parish Council were looking to commission a new village sign to mark the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. We approached Black Forge Art to help take our ideas from initial thoughts to final design. At every stage Rod was enthusiastic, listened and made suggestions and together we settled on two different design ideas. These were mocked up and the final choice was then refined until we had a very bespoke design. When the sign was finally unveiled there were audible gasps of delight. We couldn’t be more pleased with the sign which is of exceptional quality and certainly appears to be virtually maintenance free, which was also an important consideration. A big thank you to all at Black Forge Art for their work and support for our project.Posted on Dr WoodsterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first contacted Josh about a bespoke BBQ back in 2022 but, owing to needing to rewire the house instead, had to put things on hold until over a year later. Josh took this in his stride, remembered who I was and what I wanted, and couldn't have been more helpful. His emails were informative, and he helped guide me through the specification to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. Delivery was bang on schedule and, I think anyone would agree, it looks fantastic in its new home. If I ever move house and need another BBQ, I will look no further than Black Forge. Workmanship and customer service done as they should be!
