      This accepts a 3/4” rod so a 1/2” should work.

        Answer This Question

        Hello, Yes there is a set screw in the rod to hold the weathervane rod still and allowing the weathervane to spin.

          How dose the weathervane anchor into the mounting barket.

          Answer This Question

          It slides over the bracket post, and gravity holds it down. I used a little brake grease on the post so that it spins easily.

            My metal roof has a 4 inch wide sheet metal circular "ridge pole" running the length of the building. By saying it is 5 inches wide, does it mean it will fit over the 4 inch wide sheet metal ridge? Anchoring it to solid rough cut oak 2X8 rafters ("rough cut" means the 2X8 really is 2 inches by 8 inches) will be no problem, I just need to know if the "5 inches wide" means the the base plate of the mount IS 5 inches wide allowing the mounting "leaves" to touch the roof where I can drill through to the rafters.

              Doesn't fit Good Directions weathervane
              Stupidly, I thought that if I bought a mount made by the same company as the weathervane they would fit together. They don't. Both are being returned; far too much trouble finding a post mount that works.

                Not as pictured, but still strong
                The 2x2 inch plate on top of the base you see in the picture is not really there. I think the original may have had this extra support plate, but the new unit I just received from HD had the pipe welded directly to the base. The positive is that this is actually a heavy duty steel base. It comes with 4" bolts to hold it to the roof. The pipe opening is 3/4"ID so I imagine it will fit any Good Directions weather vane. The 3/4 pipe has two small bolts that tighten down onto the weather vane pole to keep it from coming out of the pipe. I wanted to do something different, so I rebuilt a windmill weather vane from the garden. It weighs three times the amount of a large copper weather vane and sits 23" high and 36" long. The base is still able to handle this design. Because it is placed on a copula with a 3/12 pitch, I had to bend the legs flatter, then bolt through the roof into a 2x10 wood plate inside the attic. I placed the legs in a N/W by S/E direction since most of the wind comes from that direction, although I don't think it will matter since the legs are wide and long. I would suggest buying this more expensive unit rather than trying to cut cost. I have a feeling that friends will want my advice going forward and I will suggest the heavy duty mount. It can be bent to meet any roof pitch, just add some shingle asphalt goo or metal roof sealant goo when installing.
