The pine tree is an evergreen symbolizing everlasting life. The oldest
living thing in existence is not a giant redwood, but a bristle cone pine in
the White Mountains of California, dated to be 4600 years old. The Chinese
consider the pine to be a symbol of longevity, worshippers of Dionysus often
carried a pine-cone-tipped wand as a fertility symbol and the vertical
symbolism of the pine tree was emphasized by Christians as a reminder to seek
out heavenly rather than earthly treasures.
As a contemporary motif, the Pine Tree Weather Vane will represent the
beautiful natural forests and the National Parks of the United States, and of
course, the trees we enjoy at Christmas. It is a popular choice for Adirondack
lodges, mountain camps and lake homes.

This style was popular from the 1700's right up to the Victorian era, and is also very striking with contemporary vanes. |
 Diagram A - Headblock only Traditional mounting of a weather vane into the solid headblock of a cupola, tower, turret or gazebo, or into the ridgepole of a roof. This is the "old fashioned" traditional way of mounting a weather
vane. It is still suitable today for smaller vanes up to 36" wide. Our
basic 28 1/2" rod allows for at least 8" - 9" of rod to be
wedged and caulked into a solid headblock or ridgepole, and 16" - 20"
of rod exposed above the apex of roof. |
 Diagram B - Headblock & Brace A preferred traditional mount into the solid headblock of a cupola, tower, turret or gazebo, or into the ridgepole of a roof using a brace for extra strength. Prepare your roof ahead with this headblock and brace system, for an easy and very secure mount. This mount is suitable for any size weather vane. Our basic 28 1/2" brass rod allows for at least 8" - 9"of rod inside the roof, and 16" - 20" of rod exposed above the apex of the roof. A nail is used to pin the rod to the brace. Larger sized vanes will need proportionally heavier and longer rods. |
