Description
EMU WEATHERVANE. Emus are an important cultural icon of Australia. One appears on the Australian Coat of Arms. Although they grow too 2metres in height they are flightless. That is they cannot fly. How ever, they can cover great distances at a fast economical trot. If necessary, they can sprint at 50 km/h. Long legs allow them to take strides of up to 275cm. https://www.australiazoo.com.au
Measurements.
Mounted on an 700mm long arrow his length is330mm. He stands 295mm high. The overall height is 625mm. This weathervane is totally crafted in Australian.
How Emu Weathervane Works
Both the arrow and the pelican figure revolve on a ball bearing over a solid bushed stainless steel shaft. Well balanced and proportionally correct these Australian made weathervanes from Glenview Products actually work. The weathervane is powder-coated and like the early Ford motor vehicles, you can have any colour so long as it is black.
Installation
A stainless steel mounting plate is available for fixing to a flat surface such as the ridge line of a metal roof or a wooden garden post. Alternatively there is a steel gable bracket available for fixing to the apex of the gable (see Fixing Brackets). If you would like to order a fixing bracket to suit this product, please select from the product options above. Fixing brackets ordered with an Aussie Weathervane will not incur any additional delivery charges.
Which one to use ?
Which one ?
Gable Bracket (Stainless Steel) is used for attaching to the face of the Gable. Suitable for both Tile and Metal Roofs. Because the shaft extends down the face of the Gable, it is 200mm longer than the ridge line bracket.
Stainless Steel Mounting Plate (supplied flat with laser cut slots to allow plate to be bent to the exact pitch of the roof). Used on the roof ridge of metal roofs. Also adaptable to flat surfaces and mounting on posts.
No Mounting Bracket when only the Weathervane is required. Purchasing the suitable bracket makes installation easy and enjoyable
