Your Wind Socks will add a splash of color where ever
they live.
and can be changed with the Seasons or the Holidays.
Proper care will
help to extend its life, and provide more enjoyment
for you and your family.
Windsocks are made from a variety of fabrics, including
polyester,
rip-stop nylon, parachute cloth, SolarMax, and
flag cloth.
A superior fabric will produce a superior quality of
sock.
** Location
Whether hung indoors or out, place your sock in an area
that is
convenient, with easy access and free of obstacles.
Your sock can be hung from a deck, porch, dock, overhang,
boat, etc.
But take care that it is not rubbing on the house, roof,
walls, shrubs, or
other abrasive surfaces.
If mounted to a house or deck, we recommend a fiberglass
pole with a
bracket that has a 45 degree angle.
Longer windsocks, in particular, should hang at an angle,
instead of
straight up & down.
Adding a "swivel socket" tip will help the sock
to rotate 360 degrees
and avoid wrapping itself around the pole.
** Avoid Direct Sunlight
Remember that both direct and reflected sun can damage
your sock
over an extended period of time.
Be prepared to invest in a new sock every year if left in
an intensely
sunny location.
For extended enjoyment, hang your sock in a shady
location, or move
it in & out of the direct sunlight.
** Rain
Unless acidic, rain should not harm your sox.
If you live near salt water, or in a dusty location, you
may occasionally
rinse your sock out in cool clear water, or use a very
gentle soap.
** Wind
Extreme wind conditions can also affect the lifespan
of your sock.
Hemmed edges are best for most normal wind conditions.
