Brightening Up With Copper Weathervane Cupolas

By Joshua Hayes


By the standards of society, some people are better looking than others. The same logic can also apply to buildings and other similar structures like houses. Some houses are just plain prettier to look at than others. But like how people can get surgery, weak makeup, or just wear different clothing to improve their appearance, a building can be fitted with accessories, like copper weathervane cupolas, to look a little bit nicer than the rest.

A cupola is a domed head of a building. The jewel of a crown of a roof, so to speak. It is a tall structure on top of a building and can be used to let in light and air, but also as a lookout point.

The second thing to be elaborated on is the weathervane. It is a contraption where an effigy of an animal, usually a rooster, is placed on a cross. The cross has four arms because crosses are like that sometimes. Anyway, the four arms all point in different directions. If the wind blows, it will hit the tail of the animal effigy and the animal effigy will spin around to face the wind, almost like it is getting ready to fight the weather for disturbing it.

Copper is a metal that is used in a lot of things. Water pipes often use the material, for the simple reason that copper is an inexpensive, durable material that also does not absorb contaminants so the water supply stays safe. Because of its durability, copper is an ideal choice for any outdoor fixtures. It also does not lose its value, meaning it can be resold for the same price as it was bought for. It can also be recycled quite easily. The fact is that around fifty percent of commercially available material comes from recycled sources.

Purchasing one is easy. Most hardware stores and gardening centers will have a few on sale. But to get a copper one attached to a cupola may take a little bit of work. If the local hardware store or garden center does not have the desired item, going online will usually yield a few results.

They should not be too expensive, either. A cheap one can be bought for less than fifty dollars. A nicer is going to cost a little bit more.

Installing one should not prove to be too hard. Just bolt it on to the roof. If that is not possible, hire someone to do it for you.

A vane is used mainly to tell which way the wind is blowing. Depending on the geographical location, the direction of the wind can predict the weather for the rest of the day. Being able to predict the weather can help a person plan around it and be less caught off guard when the weather hits.

Being good looking can lead to success. Having a good looking house is a great way to show off that success. If extra features need to be bolted on to a structure, might as well use copper.
