Weathervane Trout

Whether you’re a dedicated angler or just someone who believes a roofline without a trout is a missed opportunity, this is for you. The Trout Weathervane is one of our most iconic silhouettes—a finishing touch that turns a standard breeze into a bit of a performance.

This isn’t some flimsy, mass-produced ornament. This is proper New Zealand craftsmanship. Each one is handmade from sand-cast aluminium and brass using traditional methods, then finished in a serious black powder coating for a look that lasts as long as the stories about 'the one that got away.' It’s a unique, eye-catching feature for those who treat their home and garden with a level of devotion that others might call obsessive. We just call it good taste.

Beyond the aesthetics, the engineering is spot on. We’ve ensured a smooth-running movement and a plate welded directly to the base stem for a secure, permanent installation. It’s robust, reliable, and decidedly premium.

The Installation Ritual:
Finding the perfect, prominent spot is half the fun. You’ll need your own non-corrosive fixings (bolts or screws) depending on where you’re mounting it. Level the stem with a spirit level—perfection is the goal here—and secure the base plate. Align your NSEW to true North with a compass, tighten the lock bolt, and apply a touch of grease to the axle.
Note: Make sure the ball bearing slides up inside the axle to rest on top of the shaft; this ensures that signature smooth movement and reduces wear over time.
