Do you have a garden? Then you will need something to make it unique, since the space is available to add something. There is already fountain, or statues, or fishpond? Then something higher is very suitable for your garden. Something that is always exist in the old traditional homes in the country. Something on top of every roof. What are they? Yes, they are weathervanes.

Today’s weathervane is not only for barns. There are house weathervanes, and even garden weathervanes too. Before you put a garden weathervane in your garden, there are something you have to know.

First, do you want to make your garden ornamental or functional? You decide it. You want it to be functional? Then put the garden weathervanes as high as you can, since if you place them low enough, they will not function properly because of no wind.

So you want it for decoration? Then pick one spot where you will see it everyday and most often. Do not place garden weathervanes too high. You do not want to strain your neck just to see them right? But, if you often walk in your garden, then you must place it higher than your head, so you will not bump into it.

You will have to work a bit more if you prefer them to be functional. Put the garden weathervane on a pole, stand the pole, and set the height high enough for the wind to properly blow it. To make the pole to be perfectly level on all sides is the most trickery part in this work.

But more importantly, you have to choose the right garden weathervane for your garden. At close range, you will find it in one size, but when the weathervane is already on 20 feet height or across your garden, everything changes. Make sure you stand away as far as possible but you still can see it, before you buy it, so you can imagine how the weathervane will look like in your garden. It looks good? Then I bet it’s your choice.

The last tip is about the garden weathervane’s material. Match the weathervane’s material with the surroundings. If you cannot find any, do not worry, since there are some general designs suitable for any design of your garden.
