  • Description

    The stylish Steel Gun Down Hunting Weathervane is a beautiful addition that will make your roof look more attractive. This elegant weathervane is made of steel and has a lot of detail. It's a great way to add a beautiful and unique decoration to the top of your roof. As the wind blows smoothly, the weathervane's design of a gun down hunting scene turns gracefully in the direction of the breeze.

    When it comes to fitting, we know that drilling holes in the roof or putting brackets on the roof or inside the roof space can make it harder for the roof to keep rainwater out. But installing the Steel Gun Down Hunting Weathervane is very easy and doesn't take much time. The weathervane is set up firmly on a round ridge tile base that fits into the roof with traditional materials like mortar. This method makes sure that the startup process is simple and easy.

    We include a mechanical fix method in the form of a strong and flexible metal strap so that installation can be done in different ways. The metal strap is easy to unwind and cut to the length you want. The strap has a number of holes that make it easy to connect. You can use screws, nails, or other suitable fasteners to attach it to the roof structure.

    Once the metal strap is securely in place, skilled installers can hide it with a standard mortar bed, keeping the decorative look of the weathervane. The Steel Gun Down Hunting Weathervane is very flexible and can be put on many different types of roofs, such as turrets, towers, flat roofs, round roofs, and circular roofs. It can also be put on a garden structure as an eye-catching creative show. It is easy to place, giving you a simple way to improve the look of your roof.

    Details about the product:

    Height as a whole: 33.6" (86cm)
    Ridge Base: The ridge base is round with a width of 12" (30cm) and a height of 10" (24cm).

    Please note that the usual colour of the ridge tile fitting is terracotta, but we also have other colours and finishes to meet your needs.

    The Steel Gun Down Hunting Weathervane is a beautiful way to change the look of your roof. It is easy to place and has a very detailed design. Experience the perfect blend of usefulness and beauty, turning your roof into a beautiful focal point.

  • How to fit and install

    There are several ways to install roof finials, as outlined below:

    Traditional mortar bedding:

    Roof finials can be installed following the same method used for ridge tiles, utilising standard mortar bedding. In cases where the finial is tall or heavy, or if enhanced stability is desired, an additional mechanical fix method can be employed alongside the mortar bed installation.

    Mechanical fixing strap and mortar bedding:

    For this type of install, a galvanized metal strap is included, discreetly fastened to the underside of the finial ridge base during manufacturing. This durable and flexible metal strap can be adjusted in length by cutting it down to size. Featuring a series of holes, the strap can be screwed, nailed, or embedded in mortar to anchor it to a section of the roof structure. After securing the metal strap, installers can conceal it from sight by applying traditional mortar bed. The mortar used to join the finial with adjacent ridge tiles effectively conceals the strap, resulting in a seamless and neat appearance.

    Dry fixing:

    Another approach to affixing finials to the roof involves the dry fixing method. This technique involves using a specific manufacturer's dry fixing system, typically incorporating brackets or alternative mechanical fasteners to attach ridge tiles and finials to the roof without the use of mortar. If you are considering a dry fix ridge system, please get in touch with us to determine if this finial design can be adapted to be compatible with your chosen system.
