Choosing the right windsock hardware depends on the windsock size, mounting surface, installation height and how the windsock will be serviced. Before ordering, confirm:
Use the
Vertical Wall Mount when attaching the system to a vertical wall or structure. The
Tripod Mount is intended for flat roofs, platforms and other horizontal surfaces.
When extending a windsock system from an existing pipe, railing, fence post or platform rail, use the
Pole-to-Pole Mount with a compatible
Windsock Pole Kit.
For a new standalone installation, the
Telescopic Windsock Pole allows the windsock and frame to be lowered for ground-level servicing. This is useful at industrial facilities, remote sites and other hard-to-reach installations.
If FAA or another standard applies, confirm the dimensions, location, visibility and complete system requirements before ordering. Contact us with the windsock mouth diameter and mounting details if you need help matching components.

Our threaded windsock frames are a breeze to install. Simply thread the frame onto a threaded pole, attach your windsock and you're done. See the installation tab below for details.
Windsock frames are made of 304 stainless steel and and a fully enclosed and lubricated dual ball bearing assembly. All frames allow for 360 degree rotation and are engineered to provide decades of service life in any environment
Frames are normally shipped the next business day. Shipping is normally an additional 5 business days within the US, depending on your location.
Rush options are available. Contact us for details
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
