How long a windsock lasts will depend on a variety of things including climate, pollution, exposure to UV, temperature extremes and location. Every material will eventually wear out or fade. We produce and supply premium quality windsocks and use tried and tested commercially available components. We expect windsocks to last as long as, or, longer than other manufacturers. In this blog post, we want to give you a few tips of how to take care of your windsock.
Choosing your windsock
First of all, you have to make sure you choose the right windsock for your industry and location. Which regulations do you need to comply with? Which colour is right for you to ensure your windsock contrasts against its background? As well as your windsock you need to ensure you are choosing the correct swivel system as well as windsock mast.
How to take care of your windsock
If you have a windsock, you should check your windsock on a regular basis to ensure it is still fully functional. This includes the windsock and the windsock mast, each part of fittings and fittings as well as the swivel arm or swivel frame.
In addition to the regular checks, ensure you are checking after a storm as it might be tangled up and the windsock might not be able to move around freely. Check if the windsock is frayed or damaged. Check that the windsock is properly screwed onto the swivel system. Make sure the windsock mast hasn’t been damaged and is not off-centre. As soon as you notice any deterioration replace your windsock to avoid health and safety consequences for your business.
