At Whirligigs of Custer, we forge wind spinners, kinetic sculptures, and garden art that catch the breeze and turn ordinary yards into living galleries — right here in the heart of South Dakota.
Whirligigs of Custer was born from a simple belief: outdoor art shouldn't just sit there. It should dance. Every piece we create is shaped, welded, and finished by hand in our Custer workshop — no mass production, no shortcuts.
Each piece is coated with outdoor-grade finishes built to withstand Black Hills winters and summer sun.
Ground stakes, hanging chains, and wall mounts included — no extra trips to the hardware store.
A whirligig is a gift that keeps moving — birthdays, anniversaries, housewarmings, and beyond.
From whimsical birds to abstract spinners, each collection is designed to bring motion, color, and personality to any outdoor space.
Dynamic, multi-layered spinners that catch even the lightest breeze. Available in vivid hues and natural patinas.

"We ordered a set of three wind spinners for our patio and they exceeded every expectation. The colors are vibrant and they spin beautifully even on the calmest days. Our neighbors keep asking where we got them."
"I commissioned a custom dragon whirligig for my daughter's garden and it was worth every penny. The attention to detail is incredible — from the wing articulation to the hand-painted scales. Absolutely stunning work."
"Stopped in on a road trip and ended up buying five pieces. The shop has such a warm, welcoming feel and the craftsmanship is obvious the moment you pick anything up. Already planning my next visit."
