Installation Rods and Pivot Balls
West Coast Weather Vanes offers different diameter installation rods. The diameter selected depends on:
- The weathervane’s size
- The sculpture piece design
- The potential for high winds
Typically, the larger the weather vane, the bigger diameter rod is selected. Also, relatively heavy sculpture pieces (3-D weather vanes, for example) may require a larger diameter installation rod than their swell-bodied counterparts.
Finally, if the weather vane is to be installed in a high wind location such as a mountain top or directly along the coast, we can upgrade the weather vane to a bigger diameter rod to help compensate for occasional increased wind load.
