1. Choose Quality Materials
Adopting quality materials are very essential in guaranteeing that you wind spinners are long lasting. Sellers should be attempting to get their spinners from hard–wearing materials that include stainless steel or anodised aluminium or even weatherproof plastic. It is in this regard that these materials do not easily rust, corrode or fade especially when exposed to extremely harsh climatic conditions.
2. Regular Cleaning
Dust and grime tend to dull the throw of your wind spinners and give them an unkempt look in the process. It is advisable to clean spinners from time to time with a soft material and soap to eliminate dust and grime. For the hard to remove spots, the best tool is a soft brush. Do not use chemicals that may react with the surface or strong abrasive that may scratch the surface.3. Protective Coatings
It might be wise to put a protectant finish on your wind spinners. Substances such as the automotive wax or clear enamel can add further protection to the wind sculpture surface in particular against UV rays which are instrumental in fading and other external factors that may degrade the spinner.4. Proper Installation
Make sure that the wind spinners that you put up are properly anchored on a good and strong enough pole or hook. Install hardware that would not easily corrode due to the weather and ensure that the installation is fixed properly so that there will be no question of coming loose. Strong winds are always a potential threat to any installation and your spinners will also benefit from proper protection.
5. Positioning
It is best to put your wind spinners in a windy area but not exactly in a place where they’ll have to endure a strong gust of wind all the time. They should not occupy places that expose them to constantly being showered by rain, snow or objects.6. Seasonal Care
If you are using the wind spinners during the biting winter period or in very cold climates, then during the winter or when it is cold, you should take the wind spinners indoors or you should cover them. Exposure of the elements and components to snow, ice or very low temperatures can adversely affect the used materials and the working of the mechanisms.7. Regular Inspection
It would be best if you can check your wind spinners from time to time to identify any signs of tear and wear. Look for any loosely fitting part, signs of rust or any sign of wear on the moving parts. It becomes necessary to solve these problems as soon as possible to avoid worsening of the situation and proper functioning of the spinners.8. Lubrication
For your wind spinners to work with efficiency the moving parts should be oiled from time to time using a light machine oil. This will minimize wear and tear within a short span of time, thus saves the bearings as well as other moving parts.
