Quality Construction- You can be assured that our orange airport windsocks are made with quality materials and are built to last: The body of the windsock is made of 300D PU polyester, the inlet mouth contains a sewn-in PVC ring to ensure the windsocks stay open all times. The hanging windsocks comes complete with a stainless steel bridle harness and stainless steel carabiner

Light and Responsive Airport Windsocks-   Lightweight windsocks are imperative to detect slight wind speed and directional changes. Our windsocks are strong and  durable and still fly well in even the slightest breeze.

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:

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 (don't buy the white ones, the black ones are usually UV rated.
