Best For PEAK: Montague Metal Products cast aluminum deluxe Weathervane

Buy on Amazon

The montague metal products cast aluminum deluxe weathervane's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. This weathervane will mount directly to most roofs. It is constructed of solid, well-crafted metal. The arrow seems very responsive and moves nicely with the wind direction. It can be mounted on a flat board. The base of it will not flatten out so you need to cut/pitch the end of the 4x4 at the steepest angle that the base will allow, which is about 45 degrees. It works as a weathervane to point accurately in the direction from which the wind is coming.

The roof mount is sturdy and adapts to any angle roof. It comes with ordinary screws only.

Nice addition to the garden shed
