Outstanding Value

Often clients mistake low prices with good value. When comparing frames, it is important to keep in mind the cost of constantly changing a worn out frame or windsock.


Labor costs + Lift/ Equipment Costs + HSE compliance issues with a worn out frame + New low value frame= Much more expensive than getting a longer lasting, quality frame in the first place

Sizing

Heavy-Duty Windsock Sizing

So you need a windsock..but now, what size?

Windsock size is often dictated by your viewing distance and how the windsock will be mounted. Of course, if you already have a frame, your windsock diameter will be set and you only need to choose a length that worlds for you. See our Visibility of Windsocks Guide below for more information

How to Measure your Existing Windsock

 It can get confusing sometimes on how windsocks are measured. The standard is always to measure windsocks diameter and length and present it as: diameter" x length". See the below infographic guide on how to measure a windsock and determine the diameter

Fitting a Windsock onto Your Double or Extended Hoop Frame

If you have a double hoop or extended hoop frame, you should ensure the replacement windsock you purchase will fit over both the outer and inner hoop of the frame. Every frame manufacturer has a different standard and thus some measuring is required to ensure that your replacement windsock will fit onto your frame. Your two options are:

  1. If you do not have an existing windsock: Measure the diameter of the second hoop as well as the distance from the first hoop to the second hoop. See our visual guide below on which dimensions we require.

2. If you do have an existing windsock that fits your frame: Measure diameter of the inlet mouth, the length of the windsock as well as the diameter of the outlet mouth. See our guide above on how to measure a windsock.

Installation

Heavy-Duty Windsock Installation

 How to Install a Windsock Frame

Installing a windsock frame depends on the hardware you purchase from the Custom Windsock Co, or others. 

If you have purchased a Frame + Pole Adapter 


Step 1) Thread the windsock frame onto the pole adapter

Step 2) Mount the adapter onto a 2 3/8" OD pole (a very common pole size that is commonly used for chain link fencing and other applications. The pole can also be called 2" Sch. 40, which then has a 2 3/8" OD)

Step 3) Mark the hole location on either side of the pole and then remove the adapter. Drill through the pole with an appropriate bit. Tip: we find it's easier to mark the holes on both sides of the pole and drill through each side of the pole independently 

Step 4) Put the adapter and frame back onto the pole and slide the bolt through the assembly and tie the nut 

 


If you have purchased a Frame + Pole Kit

 

Step 1) Thread the windsock frame onto the coupler

Step 2) Thread the other side of the coupler onto the pole
