Give yourself plenty of time to browse through this online store.
They offer hundreds of attractive and unusual weathervanes in a
variety of sizes. There seems to be a nice design for any theme you
can imagine. Their selection of cupolas is one of the most extensive
I've seen. And, check out their Windcup Weathervanes. These are as
attractive as traditional directional weathervanes, but also give an
indication of wind speed with their rotating wind cups.
Like most cupola
retailers today, Weathervanes of Maine recommends fairly small
cupolas. The modern rule of thumb is one inch of cupola base for
every foot of a building's ridge length. Cupolas on old-time barns
were usually much bigger than that. If you're going for a
traditional look, use at least 12% of the ridge length to determine
the cupola's base size.
