You Have Your Windsock; Now How Do You Install It?
For Frame Sizes 18”, 24”, 36” from the Custom Windsock Co.
Step 1) Purchase a Windsock Frame
Step 2) Purchase a stainless steel ¾ NPT female coupling and a ¾ NPT male pole. One size of the coupling will thread into the bottom of the windsock frame and the other will thread onto your pole. The pole you purchase may be long or short, depending on your application and if you are going to attach it to anything else. These can easily be purchased from your local hardware store or here:
Step 3) Attach the pole onto your structure
- Side of building or wall: You may want to use a vertical mount like this:
- On another pole: If you’re looking to put your windsock high in the air on a pole, chances are that a small diameter pole like above won’t do the trick. You can use another coupling with one side being ¾ NPT and the other side being larger so it can attach onto another larger diameter pole that can be installed in the ground. The other option is to attach it onto your larger diameter pole with hose clamps or banding
Step 4) Install the windsock with the use of HD UV rated zip ties.
Note: all frame manufacturers have different specifications. Contact the manufacturer of your frame for instructions on mounting.
