Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
Here you will find answers regarding weather vanes, mounting, chimney covers, gutter guards, metal fences, as well as ordering and shipping.
Weather Vanes
Size, material, finishes, and custom designs.
Which weather vane size is the right one?
Our weather vanes are generally divided into three sizes:
- Small: ideal for tables, balconies, or conservatories.
- Medium: especially suitable for garden houses, carports, tool sheds, or gardens.
- Large: the classic size for house roofs, gables, chimney covers, or other elevated mounting locations.
Medium models typically have a motif height of about 37 cm and a total height of around 72 cm. Large models vary depending on the motif, but are approximately 60 cm in motif height and around 113 cm in total height.
What is better – a copper or stainless steel weather vane?
Both materials are suitable for long-term outdoor use, but they differ primarily in their appearance.
Copper has a warm, classic look and changes its appearance over time if the surface is left uncoated. This results in the natural patina typical of copper.
Stainless steel looks more modern and is especially suitable if a silver-colored, timeless metal look is desired.
What does “polished / uncoated” mean for copper?
The weather vane is polished by hand and has the characteristic shiny copper tone upon delivery.
Since the surface is not sealed, it changes due to weather conditions. The copper will first darken and develop a natural patina over time.
What does “polished / coated” mean?
The polished copper surface is additionally sealed with a protective lacquer. This preserves the original copper shine for significantly longer and protects the surface from direct weathering.
For a zinc gutter, we also recommend a coated copper variant or, alternatively, a stainless steel weather vane.
What do the variants silver, vintage, and refined mean?
Silver: The copper weather vane is given a silver-colored coating.
Vintage: The surface is treated so that it has the look of aged green copper patina from the start.
Refined: The weather vane is hand-colored and subsequently sealed with a protective lacquer.
What does “electropolished” mean for stainless steel?
During electropolishing, the stainless steel surface is electrochemically refined. This smooths the surface, gives it a high-quality shine, and makes it more resistant to external influences.
Is the wind rose included with a weather vane?
Yes. With our weather vanes, the wind rose is always included in the scope of delivery.
If you cannot find the wind rose after unpacking: it is often found together with the spheres or other components in a narrow, separate box at the bottom of the large shipping carton.
How easily does a Linneborn weather vane rotate?
The design is engineered to provide the smoothest possible rotation. Depending on the model, copper weather vanes use a proven sleeve bearing.
For stainless steel weather vanes, the bearing mechanism consists of a sphere or a suitably designed smooth-running bearing between the support rod and the motif, depending on the version.
Can I have a weather vane made with my own motif?
Yes. Individual weather vanes can be crafted according to a photo, drawing, sketch, or description. Depending on the motif, 2D and 3D versions made of copper or stainless steel are possible.
Company logos, club motifs, years, or particularly personal motifs are also possible.
Does a copper weather vane change its color over time?
Yes – with an uncoated weather vane, this change is completely normal and is explicitly part of the natural aging process of copper.
The surface first loses its bright shine, becomes darker, and over time, with appropriate exposure to the elements, develops the typical copper patina.
Can I use a copper weather vane with a zinc gutter?
Copper and zinc should not be combined unprotected, especially where direct contact or copper-containing rainwater can get onto the zinc.
In this case, we recommend a coated copper weather vane or a stainless steel weather vane.
Installation & Mounting
The right mounting for roofs, walls, gables, and chimneys.
Is there an assembly manual for weather vanes?
Yes. For medium and large weather vanes, a detailed assembly manual is available as a PDF.
Do I need an additional mount for a medium weather vane?
For medium-sized weather vanes, a universal mount is always already included.
Depending on the structural situation, it allows for mounting on roofs with different slopes or on a wall.
Which mount do you recommend for a large weather vane?
For large weather vanes, we highly recommend mounting using an M12 threaded rod. It offers a very stable attachment and is suitable for many classic roof installations.
Where can a large weather vane be installed?
Depending on the building and the selected mount, the following installation locations are possible, among others:
- on the roof or roof ridge,
- on or below the gable,
- on a chimney cover,
- on suitable masts or special structures.
Are there videos regarding installation?
Yes. For mounting large weather vanes, installation videos are available:
What happens to the weather vane in strong winds or storms?
A freely moving weather vane aligns itself with the wind. This reduces the wind surface area compared to a rigidly mounted motif.
However, the crucial factor is always a professional attachment that is suitable for the substrate.
Chimney Covers
Custom manufacturing, material, and installation.
Are chimney covers made to measure?
Yes. Many of our chimney and flue covers made of stainless steel or copper are manufactured to match the specified dimensions of your chimney stack.
The desired dimensions can be entered directly on the respective product page. The corresponding price will be calculated automatically there.
Why is the chimney cover larger than the chimney stack?
With our custom-made models, the cover is designed to extend beyond the edge of the chimney stack. This allows rainwater to drip off outside the chimney stack.
Depending on the model, this overhang is approximately 5–7 cm.
Is the mounting material for the chimney cover included?
For our relevant chimney covers, the required mounting accessories are included in the scope of delivery. The hole pattern for attachment is located on the underside of the cover.
Please always additionally note the information on the respective product page.
What are the advantages of a chimney cover?
A properly executed chimney cover protects the chimney stack and the flue opening in particular from direct weathering and penetrating rain.
If you have questions about the suitability for your specific combustion system, we recommend consulting the responsible chimney sweep or specialist company before installation.
Gutter Guards
Material, size, and the right design for your gutter.
Which material should I choose for my gutter?
As a simple guideline:
- Zinc gutter: Aluminum or stainless steel
- Copper gutter: Copper or stainless steel
- Other gutter materials: Stainless steel is particularly versatile.
Should I choose a flat or arched gutter guard?
Flat: recommended if there is little space between the gutter and the roof tiles or if the gutter guard should remain as inconspicuous as possible.
Arched: recommended if there is sufficient space. The arch allows rainwater to drain particularly well into the gutter.
How do I find the right size of gutter guard?
Measure the diameter or width of your gutter and compare this value with the size chart on the respective product page.
Designations such as “333 mm / 6-part” refer to the classic size designation of the gutter and not to the fact that the gutter guard consists of six parts.
How long is a gutter guard?
The gutter guards are supplied as 2-meter pieces.
If you need, for example, 20 meters, you should order ten pieces accordingly.
How is the gutter guard attached?
Depending on the version, installation is done by hooking or swinging it into place, or by using suitable retaining clips.
For many variants, three matching clips are included per 2-meter piece. You can find the exact mounting method on the respective product page.
Metal Fences
Assembly, surface, and flexible expansion.
Do I need a foundation for the metal fence?
For our classic plug-in and fence element systems, a concrete foundation is usually not required.
Depending on the system, the elements are fastened into the ground via solid end or connecting rods. This allows the fence to be set up relatively quickly.
Can the metal fence be expanded or moved later?
Yes. A significant advantage of the plug-in and element systems is their flexible design. The fence can be expanded, partially removed, or set up again in a different location.
What is the difference between untreated and galvanized steel?
Untreated steel develops a visible rust patina outdoors. This natural rusty look is explicitly desired for this variant.
Galvanized steel, on the other hand, has a corrosion protection layer and retains a much more uniform metallic surface.
Are the metal fences suitable as dog, pond, or garden fences?
Many of our fence systems are specifically designed for applications as garden, dog, or pond protection fences. Through individual rods and flexible elements, curved layouts can also be realized.

The copper sculpture of the eagle with open wings was designed with great attention to detail and gives the weather vane a powerful aura. With an impressive wingspan of 80 cm and a total height of the weather vane of 82 cm, the eagle will tower imposingly over your roof or garden.
The eagle sits on a large copper ball with a diameter of 16 cm.
The weather vane has a practical wind rose with a diameter of 66 cm, which gives you clear orientation about the wind direction. The eagle turns smoothly in the wind and shows the exact direction from which the wind is blowing with an 80 cm long arrow.
To preserve the beauty of this copper weather vane over time, it is painted with a high-quality clear varnish. This protection preserves the radiant appearance of the weather vane and ensures that it can withstand the elements without losing its shine.
Installation is simple and safe as the weather vane is attached with a threaded rod. This is possible on a house roof or on a tower top thanks to the included cone with a diameter of 16 cm. Enjoy the calming feeling of watching the wind as the majestic eagle turns in the wind and shows you the wind direction.

Smooth rotary motion
Copper weather vanes:
The rotation is achieved via a proven plain bearing, where the motif slides smoothly on the tip of the support rod. This design has proven to be particularly efficient and durable.

Our stainless steel variants slide on a ball bearing located between the support rod and the motif.
Copper quality
Compared to weather vanes from other manufacturers, we rely on a particularly thick quality of copper. This not only ensures a significantly longer service life, but also gives the weather vane greater stability and precise, detailed craftsmanship.
This guarantees a durable product that withstands wind and weather – while impressing with its elegant appearance. Choose quality that you can see and feel!
German wind rose
Our weather vanes are equipped with a German compass rose as standard, which reliably indicates the cardinal directions for you.
Additional copper pipe
For our large weather vanes, the mounting rod is covered by an additional copper pipe. This high-quality detail not only gives the weather vane an attractive appearance but also provides additional protection and stability.

Let customers speak for us
from 195 reviewsSehr gute Qualität, schnelle Lieferung
Da unser alter Hahn in Ruhestand gehen durfte, waren wir auf der Suche nach einer Alternative und kamen per Zufall bei Linneborn vorbei.
Recht schnell in den Jäger mit Hund verliebt, ein paar Rückfragen gehabt, super gute Rückmeldungen bekommen und siehe da - Jäger macht sich gut auf dem Dach.
Sind total happy mit der top
Verarbeitung, dem unkomplizierten Kontakt, Abwicklung lief ebenfalls super fix, quasi von Bestellung bis Installation verging nur eine gute Woche. Ganz herzlichen Dank, wir schauen sicher mal wieder bei euch rein!
Sehr schön, praktisch und einfach aufzubauen. Nur der Griff zum Öffnen des Tores sollte rostfrei sein. Die Hände werden sehr dreckig. Sonst alles super! Sehr schnelle Lieferung.
Die Wetterfahne war ein Geschenk und sie ist sehr gut angekommen.
Hat unsere Erwartungen voll übertroffen.
Gutes Design und sehr gute Qualität!
Ist 1 A Qualität ä, auch die Vor gedehnten Anfangs und Enden spaare eine Menge Zeit. Werde ich weiter empfehlen.
Hält was es verspricht und wonach es aussieht. Es ist sehr gut gemacht und auch im Nachhinein leicht einzubauen. Funktioniert perfekt!
Wir haben ihn zur Abgrenzung zwischen zwei Häusern verwendet, die bisher durch einen alten vermoderten Holzzaun bestand.
Der Gartenzaun ist für unseren Verwendungszweck hervorragend geeignet und fügt sich meiner Meinung nach bestens ein.
Wieviele Stunden sind wir durch Bau- und Baustoffmärkte gestreift und haben nach einer möglichst unkompliziert und doch vernünftigen Lösung gesucht.
Vergebens. Nichts entsprach unseren Vorstellungen.
Es passten die Höhen nicht, die Breiten nicht, alles wäre nur gebastelt und viel Arbeit gewesen.
Die große und sinnige Auswahl an Höhen und Breiten hier im Sortiment waren wie zugeschnitten auf unser Problem. Damit lässt sich wahrscheinlich für Vielermann die richtige Lösung finden.
Dazu kommt die so unkomplizierte Art der Montage, die Möglichkeit der einfachen Demontierbarkeit sowie die Haltbarkeit.
Wir hatten uns sofort darauf festgelegt, das war genau dass, was wir suchten. Der Zaun sieht dazu noch hervorragend aus.
Der Zaun ist absolut wertig. Preisleistungsverhältnis inkl. all der Vorteile absolut überzeugend.
Super Qualität, schnelle Lieferung und sehr kompetenter und freundlicher Kontakt. Hier kaufe ich sehr gerne wieder.
ravie de ma girouette mais j'aurais aimé qu'on me propose des points cardinaux français
Der Zaun ist schnell aufgebaut und fängt schon sofort an seine rostige Patina zubekommen was ja auch gewollt ist.
Hochwertiges Produkt, freundliche Kommunikation und die Abholung war ebenso unkompliziert!
Alles wie beschrieben
Sehr gute Qualität!!! Ich bin TOTAL ZUFRIEDEN!!! DANKE
We vinden het een prachtig product.
Staat fantastisch mooi.
We hebben wel het idee dat hij soms wat moeilijk draait.
Misschien wat vet er aan doen ??
Vriendelijke groet Herman
