Designed for Permanent Outdoor Installation

A ground mounted windsock provides maximum visibility while keeping the installation clear of surrounding buildings, equipment and vegetation.

Each system is engineered to rotate freely through 360 degrees, allowing the windsock to align naturally with the prevailing wind. This gives operators, pilots and site personnel an immediate visual indication of changing wind conditions.

Our ground mounted systems are suitable for installation on concrete foundations and can be supplied with hinged or fixed masts depending on your maintenance requirements and site access.

  • Surroundings: Nearby buildings, trees and structures that may disturb airflow
