Once you use our laminated polyester windsock you will never go back to the old style nylon. 

The windsocks are manufactured with an Exclusive Bright Vinyl Laminated Polyester Fabric. The  Exclusive Windsock Laminated Polyester Fabric is  treated to resist the effects of wind, weather and the damaging Sun's Ultra-Violet rays. The average life expectancy is 3-4 years depending on locality.

The extended frame turns much easier and keeps the windsock headed into the wind like a weathervane. The frame holds the windsock open fully so it will "fly" in lighter winds. Constructed of all welded steel with stainless steel ball bearings. The frame is mounted to a 1-inch diameter support pipe threaded to fit a 3/4-inch or larger size pipe or conduit.  These frames will stand up to repeated high wind locations.

Insert (drop) the 1" riser pipe with 3/4" threads (adaptors) (that comes out of bottom bearing) into a 1-1/4 OD" (1-1/8" ID) water pipe (I use black plumber pipe) at the top of existing pole. If you want…..a washer can be put on the riser pipe. Your pole will rest on the washer.

The nipple of the bearing (where set screw fastens bearing to riser pipe) will rest on your 1-1/4" OD pipe or the washer. If your existing pipe is a lot larger than the 1-1/4" OD pipe, make sure riser pipe does not rock side to side.

This type of installation in no way affects the function of the bearing.

This type of installation also makes it much easier to take the frame down when replacing the windsock.
