How to Properly Install a Weathervane
 
With our Cupolas: If you are mounting a weathervane with one of our cupolas you do not need any mounting hardware. Our cupolas come drilled and braced to accept a weathervane.
 
With an Existing Cupola: If you are mounting one of our weathervanes in an existing cupola, it should be prepared in the following manner:
  1. Drill a 3/4" hole in the center of the cupola roof.

     

  2. Secure a brace inside the cupola and drill a 3/4" hole in the center of that board.

 

Note: If you cannot access the inside of the cupola to secure a brace, you will need to use a roof mount.

     
Without a Cupola: If you are installing a weathervane without a cupola you will need to use some sort of mount. Roof mounts and side mounts for all weathervanes are located on our Mounts and Accessories page.
 
The pictures below show a few of the standard roof mounts for installing weathervanes.
