{"product_id":"weathervane-whale","title":"Weathervane Whale","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA nautical legend, hovering over your hydrangeas.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people settle for a rooster. We aren’t most people. The Whale Weathervane is for the gardener who wants their weather reports delivered with a touch of maritime drama. It’s a striking, slightly unexpected feature that turns a standard roofline or garden post into a local landmark. Everyone who walks past will have an opinion; usually, it's \"where did you get that?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandmade right here in New Zealand using sand-cast aluminium and brass, this isn't a flimsy decorative afterthought. We’ve used traditional methods and a black powder-coated finish to ensure it looks as good during a storm as it does in the golden hour. It’s built for the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we’re a bit obsessive about the details, it features a smooth-running movement and a welded plate at the base for straightforward installation. When the wind picks up, this whale glides with a level of grace usually reserved for the open ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Rituals:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. Choose a prominent, open spot where the wind can find it.\u003cbr\u003e2. Grab some non-corrosive bolts or screws suited to your surface.\u003cbr\u003e3. Position the bottom plate. Use a spirit level to ensure the stem is perfectly vertical before tightening—accuracy matters.\u003cbr\u003e4. Assemble the NSEW cross with the Lock Washer.\u003cbr\u003e5. Use a compass to find North, align your weathervane, and tighten the lock bolt.\u003cbr\u003e6. Apply a little grease to the axle before sliding the top section on. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Ensure the ball bearing slides up inside the axle to rest on top of the shaft—this is the secret to that friction-free, silent rotation.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING \u0026amp; INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free shipping New Zealand wide.
