How To Measure Your Windsock And Frame
1) Measuring your windsock diameter
- Windsock diameter is measured across the large opening of the windsock with the windsock in the round.
2) Measuring you windsock in the flat
- If a windsock doesn't have a frame to keep it round for measuring purposes, it may also be measured in the flat. to do this, the following method must be used. With the windsock on a flat surface, measure across the width of the large opening, or throat of the windsock. Take that dimension, multiply it by 2 then divide that number by 3.14. That will be your windsocks' true diameter.
Windsock diameter per industry standard:

3) Measuring your windsock frame
- The windsock frame diameter is the dimension measured across the largest hoop.
4) Measuring the diameter of your extended frame
- The proper location to measure an extended frame is at the largest hoop, as shown in the illustration:
