John Thew's Weathervanes
The Mounting Posts
and Brass Directionals
John's weathervanes
come complete with a mounting post, brass directionals, and his trademark
"Guard Dog ". The directionals are solid brass, as shown, and are held
in place by set screws. The mounting posts are made from 1/2" steel rod
and come in 2 types. The first, shown on the left side of the picture,
is for installation on a cupola. This rod is 31" long, is threaded, and
comes with brass nuts and steel washers for locking in place. The
second mount, shown on the right side of the picture, is for mounting the
weathervane on the ridge cap of a sloped roof. The angled steel plate
is 1/8" stock and is 8" in long. There are holes on each of the four corners
for lagging the mount to the roof. Check below for more on cupola instalation,
gable or other sloped roof instalations, and the Guard Dog.
