When deciding how to mount a weathervane on a roof, you must factor in where on the roof the weathervane will be placed, your roof style, and how visible the weathervane will be from the ground. We offer a variety of stylish roof mounts for any roof shape, but the best weathervane mount of all is a cupola! Cupolas and weathervanes are a match made in design heaven. Cupolas give weathervanes an extra boost so that they are visible from any vantage point, and weathervanes are the perfect finishing touch to any cupola.

Our favorite way to mount a weathervane on a roof is with a cupola! Look how well this elegant eagle weathervane pairs with this double louver cupola. All of our cupolas are designed with weathervane mounts, so you can add a weathervane at any time. Our weathervanes, like our cupolas, are easy to assemble and built to last.

How to Mount a Weathervane on a Roof

  • First, you must choose your mount. (If you're mounting your weathervane on a cupola, learn how to install a cupola here.) You will need a level, a pencil, a drill, and a wrench or power driver.
  • Place your mount on the desired roof location and insert the largest assembly rod of the weathervane. 
  • Next, ensure that the assembly rod is vertical and that the mount is in the right orientation by checking with a level. 
  • Once it is level, mark the screw holes with a pencil and drill pilot holes. 
  • Fill the holes with caulk to prevent leaks. 
  • Now, with the screws provided, attach the roof mount with a wrench or power driver. 
  • Recheck the assembly rod to make sure it is still level, then tighten the legs and/or assembly rod

We do not recommend that grounding is necessary.
