Our heavy-duty white airport windsocks are engineered for reliable performance in Australia’s toughest aviation and industrial environments. Made from premium 300D PU-coated polyester, these windsocks are tested under both real-world and laboratory conditions to ensure durability, visibility, and full compliance with CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority) operational requirements.
Ideal for airports, airstrips, helipads, mining sites and industrial facilities, our high-visibility brilliant white windsocks offer exceptional contrast against natural landscapes and built environments. The waterproof, UV-resistant fabric provides long-lasting colour stability and superior tensile strength, outperforming lower-grade alternatives commonly found on the market.
Every component of our white airport windsocks is designed with longevity in mind. The windsock body uses durable
300D PU polyester, while the inlet mouth is reinforced with
two layers of fabric,
high-strength webbing, and a
stiffening band to maintain shape and withstand high-velocity wind gusts.
This construction ensures dependable performance in Australia’s intense UV, heat, wind, and coastal environments.
Independent testing confirms tensile strengths of
1218 N (warp) and
1221 N (weft) for our 300D PU polyester fabric. These results demonstrate the material’s ability to perform in extreme conditions — from dry outback regions to humid tropical climates and corrosive coastal locations.
Simply put, our windsocks are engineered to last.
Despite their rugged design, our white windsocks remain lightweight enough to respond accurately to even minor wind shifts. This responsiveness is crucial for accurate wind direction and speed indication, making them a dependable choice for aviation, industrial, and emergency applications.
Ensure your airport, helipad, or industrial site meets CASA visibility and safety requirements with our high-quality white windsocks. Designed for durability, compliance, and clear visibility, these windsocks are the trusted choice for organisations that need equipment they can rely on every day.
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
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.

At the Custom Windsock Company, we want you to be satisfied when you receive your products. All custom products are tailor made to your specifications but because all the finishing and sewing is either done by hand or by a person with a sewing machine, sometimes there is potential for human error, however minimal. Under normal circumstances, our quality control department would pick up on it but sometimes things slip through and the order is dispatched. You might be wondering, what do I do incase of a manufacturing defect?
If our products are faulty in any way, you can return them within 14 days of receipt. You can contact our customer service department by calling 1-833-786-1035 or emailing info@custom-windsocks.com.

In regards to all printed products (custom printed or printed without customization)
The Custom Windsock Co has invested in testing its' fabric with the current ASTM standards as well as real-world conditions.
The fabric testing standards stated in the FAA Specification for Windcone Assemblies (FED-STD-191A) are outdated and obsolete as they were published in 1978. No commercial lab in the US has the ability to test on these standards anymore. The industry testing standards have been replaced by equivalent ASTM standards.
We have tested our fabric on:
ASTM D5035 Standard Test Method for Breaking Force and Elongation of Textile Fabrics (Strip Method) - Type 2C
ASTM G154-21 Standard Practice for Operating Fluorescent Ultraviolet (UV) Lamp Apparatus for Exposure of Materials
Conclusion
We are confident that, if the FED-STD-191A standards were being tested today by any commercial laboratory, our windsock fabric would meet or exceed the requirements stated in FAA Specification for Windcone Assemblies as they have surpassed the equivalent and current industry standards.
