John Thew's Weathervanes
Cupola Installation
For mounting on a cupola, the mounting post is a 1/2" steel rod. This rod is 31" in length and is threaded on one end. It comes with brass flat washers and nuts to firmly attach the base of the rod to the cross brace as shown in the diagram. It is important that the post be truly vertical in the finished installation. Once the post is in place, the directionals will slide down the post from the top and are secured with set screws. John's trademark "Guard Dog" and the weathervane with its ball bearing will then slide down over the post as well.
