The wind sculpture comes in a pre-assembled state with detailed installation instruction. You’ll need between 20 to 30 minutes to set it up. You will need some basic tools such as a hammer and a screwdriver, but other tools like a wrench come included with the sculpture.
The sculpture will begin to move in the slightest breeze. Likewise, the structure can withstand strong gusts of wind up to 40 mph due to the gyroscopic effect which helps to keep the sculpture in an upright position.
The sculpture can be installed in two ways: on the ground or hanging. When you are setting up the sculpture on the ground, you will need to find a flat area of 10″ x 10″ and fix the four studs that come with the sculpture to the ground using a hammer. You can also hang the sculpture on the branch of a tree or from the roof of your house.
The design is reliable and stable, but it’s advisable to remove the sculpture in bad weather (e.g., ice storms or heavy snowfall). It is also recommended to remove the sculpture if gusts of wind are more than 35 mph.
All elements of the sculpture are made of stainless steel to enhance its durability, so the sculpture will serve you well for years.
We have anticipated such an event, and so we have supplied you with several extra nuts and washers in the sculpture assembly kit. In addition, you can always order more replacement parts.
You can order any part separately, so you can create a completely new sculpture or easily transform your current one into another.
