Halloween decorating has a serious side, and the Halloween Bat rooftop weathervane is for the people who are into it. The figure is three bats in flight with a crescent moon, set above an arrow with the cardinal directions marked. It’s meant for the roof, which is where the bats look most convincing against a night sky.

Cast from recycled aluminum, so it can stay up

A lot of Halloween decor is plastic and gets tossed. This piece is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum, will not rust, and has the same all-weather protective coating as every other figure in the line. A five-year warranty covers it, which tells you it’s meant to stay up, not come down November 1.

Black only on the Halloween Bat rooftop weathervane

Black is the single finish, and for bats and a moon you wouldn’t want anything else. The whole figure is a silhouette, and a solid dark color against the sky is what makes it read as bats from the street. Against an orange porch light it does exactly what you’d hope.

Roof now, roof later

Some people put the Halloween Bat rooftop weathervane up in late September and leave it until the snow flies. Others leave it up all year, because three bats and a moon on a garage roof read as a bit of character in July too. Either way the arrow turns into the wind and does its job.

There’s nothing lettered on a Halloween Bat rooftop weathervane, so there’s no proofing step before you order. The Flying Witch garden weathervane is the yard-level companion, and both are on our weathervanes page. For the porch, the cast hooks and hangers take the same finish.
