The Evergreen Garden Twirler Kinetic Spinner is a very attractive wind spinner and is essentially a cheaper version of the Stanwood Willow Leaves Kinetic Garden Twirler. The motion of this wind spinner looks completely natural, arousing the curiosity of everyone passing by. While the Stanwood features all-copper construction (and a very high price point), the Evergreen Garden Twirler uses steel as its construction material, which looks great and is much easier on the wallet. Since it is made up of a high-quality metal that has been powder coated for protection, this wind spinner will last for years to come. It has also been sprayed with a clear top coat, which will help preserve the finish. If buyers wish to paint the leaves of any portion of this wind spinner, it will be necessary to sand off this top coat before painting.

Aesthetics

In terms of aesthetic value, the Evergreen Garden Twirler Kinetic Spinner is designed in a very elegant manner. If you would compare this wind spinner with the other similar yet most expensive products out there, this one is a great product at a nice price point. The twisted leaf theme is perfectly suited for the garden or grassy land, and is sure to draw the eye when in motion, and will attract attention to the general area in which it is placed. Additionally, the reflection of light off of the individual leaves can be quite eye-catching, though it is less impactful than it would be in the copper Stanwood sculpture mentioned above.

Functionality

This wind spinner has dual rotators, with eight leaves per disc. The rotators move in opposite directions to each other, and this dynamic motion is what creates a captivating visual illusion of two pinwheels spinning into each other. It is very smooth and silent. While Evergreen advertises this spinner as moving even in the slightest breeze, typically this unit takes a bit more wind to move than some of the other spinners that really will move in very very mild breezes. It doesn’t take a hurricane to get this spinner moving, but it is not as sensitive as some of the other units available. As far as the optimal point for placement is concerned, there is no fixed recommendation. Consider a location that you would like to accent, ideally one that gets nice sunlight and a decent amount of wind, and place the spinner there. The play of light on the leaves during the windy moments will draw the eye, and the spinner will move in a hypnotic dance around your plants.

Material and Build Quality

The material that is used in this wind spinner’s structure is a high-grade steel, powder coated a copper color. It is finished with a clear coat to preserve the shine of the metal even in harsh conditions. Once mounted on the ground, this wind spinner should not blow away due to a storm, unlike other lighter models out there in the market. The bottom stake features a two-point security design, which is significantly better than those takes that do not have such a support but is not as good as the four-point system found on the Standwood line of kinetic wind spinners.

Assembly and Installation

The assembly of the Evergreen Garden Twirler Wind Spinner is fairly simple. The head containing the spinners is mounted to a central rod, which is secured to the ground. The rod comes in pieces, and while it is possible to “skip” one of the sections if you want a shorter spinner, the system is designed to work best with all of the rods present. The instruction manual is pretty simple, and most people have the entire spinner installed in less than 40 minutes. As an installation tip, however, keep in mind that this wind sculpture is designed to be mounted in moist soil. In case your garden is dry, pour enough water at the mounting point so as to increase the moisture content of the soil. Once it is moist enough, you are good to go.

Cleaning and Maintenance

As the wheels of this wind sculpture are not compact and are rather spread out, it is easy to clean off the dust that might accumulate on it over time. Even though this wind sculpture comes with a powdered coating, still, make sure to give it a fresh clear coat spray every year or so to preserve its shine for as long as possible. If your spinner isn’t moving even in steady winds, you may have the screws adjusted too tightly, or one of the O-Rings is not properly placed. If you see rubber hanging off of the shaft, it is not correctly placed. Check the O-Rings and screws and hopefully, you will be able to get the spinner moving nicely. As a precaution, remove the kinetics during a very strong storm so as to prevent your wind sculpture from being damaged.
