18 Inch Windsock (Throat Diameter)
Dimensions: 18in x 48in (45cm x 123cm)
Visible bright orange windsock. Extremely durable, the highest quality (frame not included).
Two major things make a windsock, its material and its construction.
Nylon offers unparalleled windsock durability to the elements and will not become rigid in cold weather, These windsocks are extremely responsive in even the slightest of wind.
From there it gets urethane coated and UV protected, giving the windsock superior fade resistance and color retention.
The material is subjected to a variety of tests by an independent lab to verify its structural integrity and UV resistance. It's reinforced with double stitched hems and heavy duty brass grommets, assures these windsocks long life reliability.
Windsock frame is sold separately.
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.
