Custom weather vanes enable personal expression. It can be a family emblem or crest, a sports theme, a family pet, a unique design, or just something funky to look at. They are made in different shapes ranging from simple arrows to shapes of animals, birds, humans, crests, exotic figurines, or a combination of some of these. Weather vanes are available in several designs spanning: roosters, ospreys, eagles, attack eagles, ascending geese, landing ducks, feathered geese, blue herons, and many more.
Customized weather vanes can be selected on the basis of the material used, the size, and most importantly, the shape. Most weather vanes are made of bronze, copper or some other durable metals. Designers sometimes also use gold or platinum plating, copper dyes, paintings, glass work or the Verdigris finishes on custom weather vanes. Custom weather vanes can also be full-bodied, which involves careful crafting from copper sheets by hand. They are designed through the traditional techniques and processes. Hand made weather vanes are considered to be works of art and are sometimes sold for thousands of dollars.
Very large weather vanes can also be custom-designed. They range from 35 inches to 55 inches or they can be even larger. They are more directional and have 4" and 6" spacer balls. Very large weather vanes can withstand strong winds and extreme weather conditions. Hence they are very suitable for large buildings or big open spaces.
