John Thew's Weathervanes

Gable and Other Sloped Roof
           Installation

For mounting on a sloped roof with a ridge,  the mounting post is a 1/2" steel rod. This rod is 28" in length and is welded to an angled steel plate. The angled steel plate is 8" long and is made from 1/8" stock. Holes drilled at each of the four corners for screws or bolts. Since there are so many different roof materials and thickness, no screws or bolts are included.  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 "Guard Dog" and the weathervane with its ball bearing will then slide down over the post as well.
