Weathervane Dog

A good boy who knows which way the wind blows.

For the gardener who treats their backyard like a kingdom and their canine like royalty, we present the ultimate lookout. This isn’t just a weathervane; it’s a tribute. Perfect for the dog-lover, the farmer, or anyone who believes their roofline is currently looking a little too quiet.

Handmade right here in New Zealand using traditional sand-casting methods, this piece is crafted from premium aluminium and brass. It’s then powder-coated in a deep black for a finish that’s as enduring as a Labrador’s appetite. We’ve ensured the movement is buttery smooth—because in the Bugg community, we value precision as much as we value aesthetics.

Whether you’re tracking a southerly front or just want the neighbours to know exactly where your loyalties lie, this is the garden feature your house has been waiting for.

The Particulars:

• Smooth Operator: Precision movement ensures he turns with the slightest breeze.
• NZ Made: Crafted locally with serious attention to detail.

Installation (For the Weekend Pro):

1. Positioning: Find a prominent, open spot where your dog can catch the breeze.
2. Hardware: Source non-corrosive bolts or screws suitable for your fixing surface.
3. Level Up: Position the bottom plate and use a spirit level to get that stem perfectly vertical before tightening.
4. The Compass: Open the N.S.E.W. to form the cross and slide the Lock Washer into position. Use a compass to find North, align, and tighten the lock bolt.
5. The Secret Sauce: Apply a little grease to the axle before sliding on the top section. Important: Ensure the ball bearing slides up inside the axle to rest on top of the shaft—this is the key to longevity and that signature smooth movement.
