What are Whirligigs?

Whirligigs are whimsical, wind-driven expressions of American folk art that first appeared nearly 200 years ago. The faster the wind blows, the more furiously the figure moves. Our classic handcrafted wooden whirligigs make wonderful gifts and are sure to put a smile on everyone!

The Whirligig, initially conceived as a comic weathervane in the early 1800s, will swivel into the wind and indicate the velocity by the intensity of the action of the figures. Very early designs were absolutely unique in size, style and color, limited only by the artist’s imagination and craftsmanship.

Our Whirligig craft, established in 1925, has recaptured this American Folk Art for your amusement. Our Whirligigs are made of solid, New England white pine, hand assembled, and finished with bright, durable paints and 100% inspected for proper operation. Our classic Whirligig products are regarded as the best functioning, most durable Whirligigs available and will provide years of enjoyment.

Mounting Options & Accessories

Replacement Propellers (Available at checkout) - The Whirligig propeller, like all components of our Whirligigs are constructed of durable materials made to last. However, for whatever reason, you may need to replace a propeller down the road. The extra propeller might come in handy!

YARD MOUNTING: Select a post or pole desired, for mounting. Posts or stakes that are 1 ½“ to 2” in diameter are best. Pre-drill the post or pole to prevent splitting. (3/16” drill bit) Set the supplied 20d mounting nail in the center of the post being careful that the nail and post are exactly vertical to prevent the unit from dropping excessively in any direction. When mounted correctly on the vertical nail, the Whirligig will swivel (weathervane) freely into the breeze.
