Wind spinners can provide a beautiful focal point for your garden, harnessing the wind to add a touch of movement and ambience to your borders<\/a>, lawn<\/a> or patio<\/a>.<\/p>\n They come in a range of colours, shapes and sizes, from large statement pieces to stake in the back of a flower bed to smaller wind sculptures<\/a> you can hang from a tree<\/a> or on your balcony<\/a>.<\/p>\n A wind spinner is a sculpture that harnesses wind power to rotate, creating a mesmerising piece of kinetic art for your garden.<\/p>\n Some spinners have one rotating sail that catches the breeze to create a simple spinning movement, while others have multiple sails that rotate in opposite directions. This creates a hypnotic effect that will dazzle you and guests at your next garden party<\/a>.<\/p>\n Large wind spinners for staking in the ground usually arrive flat-packed and are easy to assemble. Many come with a stability stake at the bottom to fix it securely in the ground, and you can adjust the height by leaving out one of the stake sections.<\/p>\n Wind spinners are usually made from metal \u2013 some are stainless steel so will never tarnish or rust, while others are made from a powder-coated metal to keep the spinner protected from scratching and weathering.<\/p>\n While wind spinners require minimal maintenance, some manufacturers recommend applying a lubricant to the sails once in a while to keep the blades rotating smoothly. Some also advise applying an annual coat of yacht varnish to the spinner to protect it from the elements.<\/p>\n These little jobs aside, wind spinners are a low-maintenance ornament for your garden and would make a unique, beautiful gift<\/a> for a friend or loved one.<\/p>\nWhat is a wind spinner?<\/h2>\n
