Clear mastic can also be used on any joints for example where the rod is inserted and secured into the bracket to seal and further weatherproof and prolong the life of the steel bracket and rod.

All weathervanes are well packaged to protect them in transit. We mainly use signed for delivery service for the majority of deliveries but we sometimes use our own transport for local deliveries or large orders.

Standard black weathervanes are typically dispatched within working days from ordering, gold detailing weathervanes are typically dispatched within working days from ordering. We do a manual stock check twice a week, due to this if we have temporarily gone out of stock the order may take up to weeks to be made to order and dispatched. In exceptional circumstances, if we are completely out of stock and are awaiting materials or components to come in please allow up to weeks.
