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
It has never been easier to buy your windsocks and supporting windsock hardware and frames online. Heavy duty windsock frames are available in 6 sizes and correspond perfectly with the windsocks we sell.
Our newly re-designed single hoop windsocks frames are manufactured from ¼” cold rolled steel and are made to be very durable and long-lasting. To install, simply take your ¾ NPT (for frame size 18"x24" and 36" or ½ NPT (for frame sizes 6", 10", 13") collar or female threaded pipe looking up and screw the extension rod into the awaiting threads. These frames were recently re-designed to make the ring attachment arms one piece, both top, and bottom. This allows us for a very strong weld on top and overall creating the strongest frame on the market.
The Custom Windsock Co only offers single hoop frames online. However if you contact us, we are able to provide an 18" extended hoop frame via manual payment.
There are two main types of frames available on the market. The type of frame you own or purchase will affect the type of windsock that will fit.
Single Hoop Frame - This frame is the type sold at the Custom Windsock Company. It only has the one hoop attached to a base that allows for 360 degree movement. This is a versatile frame as it allows any type of windsock with the correct hoop and sock diameter to fit. One drawback is that it does not keep a portion of the mouth open to allow for easy wind flow.
Double Hoop Frame (Extended Frame) - This frame has two hoops, one smaller and one larger that are attached to one another by a minimum of four welded spokes. This extended frame is attached to a base that has 360 degree movement. One advantage of this frame is that it permanently keeps the first 18"-24" of the windsock open which allows for wind to easily catch and flow through the windsock.
Some drawbacks of this frame are that
Windsocks are made differently for single hoop frames than they are for double hoop frames. Its important to make sure you inform the manufacturer of your custom windsock or the supplier of your standard windsock, that you have a double hoop frame.
If you do not inform the supplier of your frame, your windsock will not stretch enough over the first hoop to make it to the second hoop when it is installed.

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
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
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:
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.
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:
3/4 NPT pole with 3/4 NPT female coupler
Step 3) Attach the pole onto your structure
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.
Note: all frame manufacturers have different specifications. Contact the manufacturer of your frame for instructions on mounting.
