Many times you really have to pay attention and strain your eyes to find a traditional weather vane perched atop a roof top or cupola. However, were you to take a trip back in time to the beginning of the 20th century, then you would be hard pressed to NOT find a weathervane atop a house�at least if you were out in the country. Back then, having a wind vane atop your home was not some decorative feature�it was a matter of survival!
Indeed, the invention of television, radio, and even the Internet has rendered the traditional weather vane obsolete. We no longer need some odd-looking rooster or horse to point in the direction of the wind to tell us which way a storm is coming from�after all, we have the Weather Channel for that! So, if we really don�t need weathervanes today�why are companies still making them and people still buying them?
Everyone likes to accessorize everything�from their wardrobe to their car. The home is no different and that is why there are thousands of companies making all kinds of accessories for your home�from garden gnomes to weathervanes. Mounting a classic aluminum or copper weather vane to your home adds a distinctive touch of class and style to the home without being hideous or gaudy (unlike some of those garden gnomes!!!).
Some homeowners are not even putting the weathervanes atop their roof top or cupola and are opting instead to place them in the garden or yard. While unconventional, this has become increasingly popular and is a great way to add some original design and style to your garden space. You can even coordinate the weathervane with other adornments in the yard for a more complete and unified look.
Indeed, the popularity of the traditional weathervane did drip significantly as more and more people left the farm and moved into the cities during the early part of last century. As radio and other communication mediums rendered the weathervane obsolete in the traditional sense�it has survived and thrived by continuing to serve as a piece of the Americana fabric in the aesthetic sense.
Buying a classic weather vane is simple because there are a number of reputable websites selling them in a wide assortment of styles and materials. Plus, with a lower overhead and wider selection than most �brick-and-mortar� retailers, online merchants tend to have the best prices and most choices so hop online today and start looking for the perfect weathervane for your home or garden!
