Weathervanes: Wind’s Tattletale
The only thing missing on a new house or a renovated rooftop is a beautiful weathervane on a pretty cupola to tell the wind’s tale. From traditional to modern, they come in all shapes and sizes so you get to pick what design you want for your house. If you like a more traditional style, you will go towards cockerels, roosters and horses. If you tend to like more modern items, you can find nifty styles from grasshoppers to choppers, even football. Weathervanes are usually made of copper, steel or aluminum, light enough to detect the wind.
