Low-Velocity Windsocks

Orange Windsock

Orange Windsock Kit

Orange/White Windsock

Orange/White Windsock Kit

These lightweight windsocks react to the slightest wind movements.

To replace an existing windsock, you must determine the inlet diameter. Lay the windsock flat to measure the inlet and multiply by 0.63 for the inlet diameter.

Individual windsocks come with mounting ties.

Windsock kits come with everything you need for mounting, including an inlet frame, pole, mounting ties, and brackets.

High-Velocity Windsocks

Use these sturdy windsocks to track stronger wind movements than low-velocity windsocks. Inlet frames are sold separately.

To replace an existing windsock, you must determine the inlet diameter. Lay the windsock flat to measure the inlet and multiply by 0.63 for the inlet diameter.
