According to e-WeatherVanes.com a weather vane, also known as wind vane or weather cock, is an instrument used to make out the direction of the wind. Weather vanes are usually found on
top of buildings and in other open air places like gardens, barns, and garages. They can be used even as garden décor rather than just weather vanes on the roof.
Rooster weather vanes can be made of copper, bronze, brass or steel. Rooster weather vanes are also designed in various models, sizes and breeds. Some vanes have additional arrows while
in other vanes, the rooster itself indicates direction. Rooster weather vanes are also available in several models, such as deck or fence weather vanes, lawn weather vanes, roof top
weather vanes, table top weather vanes, and more.
As e-WeatherVanes.com explains, modern rooster wind vanes are also mounted with an anemometer, a device for measuring the speed of the wind. They may also be connected to a remote reading
station. They can be crafted as per requirements in terms of design, size, shape or the material used.
