The Eagle Accent weathervane is the 24 inch eagle in our line, and it’s the one most people picture when they think of a weathervane. An eagle sits above the arrow with its wings spread, and the four directionals below read N, S, E and W. Buyers tend to be finishing a garage, a small barn or a cupola and want a figure that reads clearly from the road. It also shows up often as a gift for veterans.

Cast aluminum, so the roof is the last place it will rust

This Eagle Accent weathervane is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum, and aluminum will not rust. That matters more on a roof than anywhere else, because nobody climbs up to check. The eagle, the arrow and the letters are cast parts rather than stamped sheet. An all-weather protective coating covers the whole assembly, and a five-year warranty backs it.

Why the Eagle Accent weathervane comes in Black

Black is the only color offered here, and on a weathervane that works in your favor. A dark silhouette against the sky is what makes the eagle legible from the street or the end of the driveway. Lighter finishes tend to disappear against clouds. If you’d like a two-tone eagle instead, the 30 inch Full-Bodied Eagle is finished in Bronze/Gold.

Where the accent size fits

The accent size suits a garage, shed, small barn or garden structure. On a big house roof the 30 inch eagle reads better from a distance, but for most outbuildings this one is plenty. The arrow swings to point into the wind, so you’ll find yourself glancing at it before you head out the door.

There’s no lettering on an Eagle Accent weathervane, so there’s nothing to proof before you order. You can see the rest of the figures on our cast aluminum weathervanes page. If you like a yard piece that does a job, the cast sundials come from the same casting process and take the same coating.
