The way it responds to the wind is great. There is a stainless steel ball bearing part that is perfect for this purpose. Aside from the wind cups that add to the appeal, the weathervane also rotates when the wind is light. BRING IT ALL TO A STOP! The review has been As a sad result, the part of my weathervane that I liked most - the MOVEMENT - has ceased to function after only a few months. You're right, that's Despite being installed correctly and working perfectly at first, the rooster wind pointer as well as the wind cups have ceased to work. In order to get up on my high gambrel roof, I had to risk my life and limb to try to do something I shouldn't have to do for a building that was built to withstand the elements - get up high and look for leaks. It is fine to lubricate knowing that it will be a temporary solution. There will be a washing out of the oil. I would think the only people who might enjoy my weathervane now are the neighbors who see it on the street and assume it's working, not the man who invested in it and whose barn it sits atop. A very sad situation.
The weather vane is fantastic. The thing was made of steel, but was coated with a copper colored powder coat, from what I can guess after handling it. It was not a successful assembly To fix the issue, simply slide the three pieces on top of one another and tighten with a flathead screwdriver (total time one In order to make it spin easier, the anemometer has a ball bearing ring. An arrow is made up of a rod in a cylinder, which is free to spin. Before mounting it on the chicken coop roof, I added a little lubricating oil to the moving parts. It was very easy to install. In addition to the mounting bracket, there is a mounting template After screwing it into the roof, I was able to slightly adjust it with my bare hands so that it aligned with the roof ridge profile. It is already bent at a set angle, but can easily be bent by hand to match your roof profile. This is very good and the anemometer has been spinning freely since it was installed. am concerned that the steel and ball bearings will rust out after prolonged exposure to the weather after two years, I predict the steel will begin to wear out and rust. I keep my fingers crossed that it will be 3 years. If you compare the price of this weather vane with the solid copper versions sold on this site, you may be able to get 4 of these for the price of one.
I purchased this wind vane a couple of days ago and am thoroughly delighted with the quality and workmanship. I am pleased with it - The bearings are of good quality, and the balance is good- As soon as there is a breeze, the windcups begin to move. In the end, we did finish what we set out to do- The instructions say to coat it with a thin coat of paint. A nice feature was that the roof mount came with it, so I didn't have to purchase it separately. Good value for the money.
This product was given a star because of dissatisfaction with the materials and workmanship. I purposely waited a reasonable amount of time before reviewing it in order to assess how well it would hold up under the mild climate in California. 90 days later, visible corrosion had begun to appear and the finish was beginning to peel off. It is possible for the moving parts to move incorrectly, or even lock up altogether, even if they are lubricated well. I'm reminded of the old adage "you get what you pay for," but in this case it's more like "if it looks too good (or priced) to be true, probably it It was a very disappointing outcome, regardless of the method. This product is not intended for outdoor use.
In addition, Stunning! I love it so much! Weathervanes roosters are such beautiful animals that they will make a beautiful addition to my shed. Everything turns in this world, even the rooster. From a distance it can be hard to see depending on the direction of the wind. I think it will look better in the winter since I have a lot of trees around the house and the weathervane blends in with them. It is not something I can install myself, so I needed a handyman to do it for me.
It is made in the United States, so that is one of the main reasons I chose this weather vane. I was impressed with it from the moment I received it. I realized I was missing the 18" adjustable mount when I started to assemble it. contacted Swen Products about it, and the representative told me it was not included since I ordered roof mounts. The disappointment was somewhat overshadowed by the fact that I could use a piece of another pole that I already kept. I noticed after the weather vane was complete that the rooster's centering was incorrect and that it was not balanced, resulting in it not spinning because all the weight was facing backwards. Despite being nearly motionless, the wind cups move when the wind blows. If you are looking for a weather vane as decoration, then this one It is not the best choice for someone who is looking to buy a functioning weather vane.
I installed one of the rooster ones on my cabinet shop and one of the deer ones on one of the outbuildings at my house. They came through a nearly direct hit of the latest hurricane to hit Florida and we live about 45 minutes away. In Panama City Beach we had winds over 150 mph and we lost over 20 big trees at my cabinet shop and on my 40 acres. Fortunately the weathervanes survived with just a little grease on the shaft and bearing, and they continue to spin today wow I love them!.
You might not find it to be as appealing as you I have it located near the hip of my one-story roof and it appears rather small. I never saw the wind cups spinning in the two days I was up there, and the rooster vane appeared to point in the wrong direction most of the time. As of right now, the item is being stored in my basement until I decide.
