What is Wind and Weather?
Wind and Weather is an online retailer specializing in garden and home décor, with a particular focus on weather-themed and wind-powered items. Its catalog is organized around a few core categories:
- Garden: wind spinners, wind chimes and mobiles, statues and sculptures, garden stakes, bird baths, feeders and houses, fountains, planters, solar lighting and outdoor furniture accents.
- Home: wall décor, clocks, lamps and lighting, candles, blankets, vases, suncatchers, tableware and small furniture such as benches and accent tables.
- Weather: weather instruments, including basic and advanced weather stations, plus barometers, hygrometers, rain gauges and thermometers.
- Shop by Theme / Look: curated groupings such as birds, butterflies, owls, coastal, Americana and bright-and-colorful styles.
In other words, it is a browsing-and-buying site for people who want to decorate a porch, patio, garden or interior with ornamental pieces — often ones that move, chime or measure something — rather than a general-purpose department store.
Who it suits and how to use it
The clearest fit is someone furnishing an outdoor space or looking for a gift with a garden or weather angle: a wind spinner for a bare corner of a yard, a rain gauge for a vegetable gardener, a bird feeder for a window view, or a barometer for someone who likes traditional instruments. The "Shop by Theme" and "Shop by Look" navigation is the practical starting point if you have a style in mind but no specific product; the category menus work better if you already know the item type.
A useful next step
Before ordering, check the returns terms and shipping costs that apply to your item, since décor and instruments vary in size, fragility and handling needs. If you are buying a weather station or gauge, decide first whether you want a simple decorative readout or recorded measurements, because those are different product tiers in the weather section.
How can I decorate my garden with wind spinners and chimes?
Start by treating wind spinners and chimes as moving focal points rather than scattered ornaments. Place a spinner where you will see it from a window or patio, since its visual payoff depends on catching the breeze and the light. Hang chimes where you can hear them without being overwhelmed—near a seating area or doorway, but not directly over a bedroom window if the wind runs strong at night.
Match the piece to the spot
- Open, windy areas: larger spinners and longer-tubed chimes hold up and stay active. A single tall spinner anchors a bed or lawn corner.
- Sheltered courtyards or porches: smaller spinners and lighter chimes work better; they catch gentle air that bigger pieces ignore.
- Near paths and entries: use one striking spinner or a short chime as a welcome marker rather than a cluster.
- Among plantings: a spinner on a stake reads as a flower-like accent; hang chimes from a bracket or sturdy branch so they don't tangle in shrubs.
Build a small grouping instead of a collection
Choose a theme—coastal, bright and colorful, or Americana—and repeat it across two or three pieces. Vary height: a tall spinner behind, a mid-height chime beside it, a low stake in front. Odd numbers and staggered heights look intentional; identical pieces lined up look like inventory.
Practical checks before you commit
- Wind load: heavier spinners need firm ground or a reinforced bracket; lightweight chimes can swing into walls and scuff them.
- Sound: metal chimes carry farther than wood or bamboo. If neighbors are close, favor softer materials or fewer tubes.
- Weather: moving parts and hanging cords wear faster in salt air or heavy sun, so inspect fittings each season.
- Visibility: place the piece against a dark background—fence, hedge, or house wall—so motion and color stand out.
Wind and Weather organizes its garden range by category, including wind spinners, wind chimes and mobiles, and garden stakes, which makes it easy to compare styles within a type rather than browsing everything at once. See Wind and Weather for those groupings.
A useful next step: stand at your main viewing point—kitchen window, deck chair, or front door—and note the wind direction and the empty sightlines. Pick one spinner for the strongest breeze and one chime for the quietest corner, then live with them for a season before adding more.
What weather instruments does Wind and Weather offer for home use?
Wind and Weather carries a dedicated weather-instrument section aimed at home users, split into two broad tiers: basic weather stations and advanced weather stations. Beyond complete stations, the site organizes instruments by type, so you can buy individual pieces rather than a bundled unit.
Instrument types listed on the site
- Barometers
- Hygrometers
- Rain gauges
- Thermometers
- Vintage wind instruments
Choosing between basic and advanced
| If you want… | Look at | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| A single reading (rain, temperature, humidity, pressure) | Individual barometer, hygrometer, rain gauge or thermometer | Cheapest and simplest, but you check each device separately |
| A coordinated set of core readings | Basic weather station | Fewer measurements and simpler displays than advanced models |
| More measurements or more detailed monitoring | Advanced weather station | Higher cost and more setup than a basic unit |
A practical example
A gardener who mainly wants to know how much rain fell and whether humidity is high enough to risk fungal problems could start with a rain gauge plus a hygrometer and skip a full station. Someone tracking pressure trends before storms, or wanting everything in one display, is better served by a station — basic if they only need the essentials, advanced if they want a richer set of readings.
Next step: decide which single measurement matters most to you, then check whether the site's basic station covers it before moving up to an advanced model. If you only care about one variable, buying that individual instrument is usually the more sensible route.
What types of wall art and sculptures are available for outdoor spaces?
Wind & Weather organizes outdoor wall art and sculpture mainly within its Garden section, so you can browse by category rather than by a single product type. The relevant groups include Statues & Sculptures, Wall Decor, Garden Stakes, Wind Spinners, and Wind Chimes & Mobiles. In practice, that means you can choose between freestanding or staked sculpture, hanging or mounted wall pieces, and kinetic items that move in the breeze.
What you can expect to find
- Statues & Sculptures — decorative figures and forms intended for garden beds, patios, or entryways.
- Wall Decor — wall-mounted pieces for fences, porches, sheds, and exterior walls.
- Garden Stakes — smaller vertical accents pushed into soil or planters.
- Wind Spinners — colorful kinetic pieces that add motion and reflect light.
- Wind Chimes & Mobiles — hanging pieces that combine movement with sound.
Matching the type to your space
| Space | Usually works well | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Fence or shed wall | Wall Decor, mounted sculptures | Needs secure hanging hardware and a sheltered spot |
| Garden bed or border | Statues, Garden Stakes | Stakes suit small spaces; statues need stable footing |
| Patio or deck | Wind Spinners, Chimes & Mobiles | Motion and sound are pleasant but may need wind protection |
| Entryway or path | Statues, Sculptures | Larger pieces make a stronger focal point but take up room |
The site also groups items by theme and look, such as Coastal Vibe, Bright & Colorful, Americana, and motifs like birds, butterflies, and sun, moon & stars. That is useful if you want outdoor art to follow a consistent style rather than shopping piece by piece.
A practical next step: decide whether you want a still focal point (statue or wall piece) or movement (spinner or chime), then measure the intended spot before browsing the matching category. If you are comparing options, Wind and Weather is the relevant catalog to check.
How do I choose the right bird feeder or bird bath for my yard?
Match the feeder to the birds you actually see, the bath to how much upkeep you'll tolerate, and the placement to what will keep both safe. Wind and Weather organizes birding gear under Birding & Wildlife, with separate Bird Feeders, Bird Baths, and Birdhouses categories, so you can browse by object type once you know what you want.
Start with the birds, not the product
Different beaks and feeding styles suit different feeders. Watch your yard for a week and note what shows up.
- Small perching birds (finches, chickadees, titmice): tube or hopper feeders with small ports and short perches.
- Larger birds (cardinals, jays, doves): platform or tray feeders, or hoppers with wide perches; doves mostly feed on the ground, so a ground tray helps.
- Ground feeders and sparrows: a low tray or scattered seed, kept away from shrub cover where cats hide.
- Hummingbirds: a nectar feeder with perches and red accents, hung in shade.
- Woodpeckers, nuthatches, titmice: suet cages or log feeders.
Seed choice follows: black-oil sunflower suits the widest range; nyjer for finches; suet in cold months; nectar for hummingbirds. Cheap mixed seed often gets picked over and leaves milo and red millet to rot.
Choosing a bird bath
The practical criteria are depth, surface, material, and cleaning.
| Factor | What to look for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Depth | 1–2 inches at the shallow edge, sloping to no more than about 2 inches | Deep bowls attract fewer small birds and pose a drowning risk |
| Surface | Textured or gently sloped, with a rough landing edge | Glazed or polished surfaces are slippery |
| Material | Glazed ceramic, stone, concrete, or metal | Concrete and stone are heavy and may crack in hard freezes; metal heats up in sun; ceramic chips if knocked over |
| Support | Pedestal, hanging, or ground-level | Ground baths are easy for birds but easy for cats; hanging baths need a sturdy branch or bracket |
| Maintenance | Easy to empty, scrub, and refill | Elaborate shapes and narrow openings are hard to clean |
Add a dripper, bubbler, or solar fountain if mosquitoes or algae are a problem—moving water stays cleaner and the sound draws birds. In freezing weather, a heated bath or one with a de-icer keeps water available; otherwise skip it rather than offering ice.
Placement rules that matter more than the model
- Put feeders within about 3 feet of a window, or more than 30 feet away. Mid-range distances produce the worst window strikes.
- Keep feeders 8–10 feet from dense shrub cover so birds can escape hawks but cats can't ambush from hiding.
- Hang baths in partial shade to slow algae, near a branch for perching, and where you can see them from indoors.
- Clean feeders every couple of weeks with hot soapy water and a diluted bleach rinse, and rinse baths every few days—dirty water and moldy seed spread disease.
A quick decision path
If you want one purchase: a hopper or tube feeder with black-oil sunflower seed for perching birds, plus a shallow pedestal bath in partial shade. If you want variety: add a suet cage in winter and a nectar feeder in summer. If you travel or forget maintenance, choose fewer, simpler items—one easy-to-clean bath and one large-capacity feeder beat five fussy ones.
For specific styles, browse the Birding & Wildlife section at Wind and Weather and compare bath depths and feeder types side by side.
What is the return policy and satisfaction guarantee for purchases?
Wind and Weather states a 30-day return privilege: you can examine your purchase at home or work and return an item within that window for a refund of the item's purchase price. Shipping, handling and insurance are excluded, and the policy may differ where an item is marked with a separate note. The site also displays the Norton Shopping Guarantee seal and states that it is PCI compliant for card processing.
H3 Practical reading of the policy
- What you get back: the purchase price of the returned item, not the shipping, handling or insurance you paid.
- Timing: 30 days from delivery, measured by the return privilege rather than an open-ended satisfaction window.
- Exceptions: items with their own noted terms, so check the product page before ordering anything oversized, made-to-order or seasonal.
- Security: the Norton seal and PCI compliance concern payment protection, not returns; don't read them as an extended guarantee.
H3 A realistic scenario
Suppose you order a rain gauge and find it reads inconsistently against a nearby official station. Under this policy you would contact customer service within 30 days, arrange the return, and expect the item price refunded while absorbing the original and return shipping. If you are buying a gift months ahead, that window may close before the recipient opens it, so either order closer to the occasion or confirm the current terms by phone at 877-255-3700 before you buy.
Next step: before ordering, open the specific product page and look for a note overriding the standard 30-day term, then decide whether the shipping cost you'd forfeit on a return is acceptable for the item's price.
