The "Extra Long Life" windsock is a heavy-duty cross-woven Aviation blend Poly. Nylon material with special Rip-Stop characteristics, Medium-weight for more flexibility, chemically resistant treated, and Polyurethane coated for bonding strength and water repellency. Ultra-violet dyed for best retention. Nylon support webbing on intake opening with brass grommets. Colorfast International Bright Orange in color. "Extra Long Life" windsocks have an estimate 50% longer life and color retention.
This windsock will orient itself to a breeze of at least 3 knots (5.6 km/h; 3.5 mph) and will be fully extended by a wind of 15 knots (28 km/h; 17 mph).
Attaching the windsock to the frame
To properly attach a windsock to a windsock frame using rope or cable ties, start by threading the rope or cable tie through the top loop of the windsock's attachment point. Then, wrap the rope or cable tie around the frame's rod or tube, leaving a small loop at the end. Pull the rope or cable tie tight to secure it in place, making sure it's not too tight and doesn't constrict the windsock. Finally, trim any excess rope or cable tie and tuck it away to keep it from flapping in the wind.
Make sure the attachment is snug but not too tight, as this can cause damage to the windsock or frame.
