Ok guy's, not sure if this is the appropriate place for this, but I didn't think it fit in "General" or "Technical" and I didn't see an "Off Topic" area, so I put it here. Please move it if it is in the wrong spot.
Anyway, I have a thing for the windsock poles in your guy's area (UK). A while back ago I bought a "Telescopic Flag Pole" from the USA and although it is 25' tall, it isn't the same. So after asking a forum member on here and doing some searching I found what I wanted at AmazonUK. I bought a 9M pole from them and in just under a weeks time, it arrived today!! I'm so stoked. Now I need to go buy a windsock for it.
Here is a pic of it standing by my garage. The garage is 18' tall.
While looking at some of your guy's photos I noticed that some of you fly more then one sock on your poles. How do you add more? I have seen the thing that slides over the pole to allow more then one sock, is that what you guy's are using? The one I found is for a 7M pole and I have a 9M pole. Wonder if it will work? Or, is there another way of doing it with out that sleeve thing? Also, at the bottom there is a screw on cap that has rubber in it. Why does this screw off and on? Is it so one can add the ground stake that is sold over there? I know, a lot of questions. I'm just new to this windsock pole thing.
Anyway, I would also like to make this post into a thread for everyone to post pics of your poles and windsocks (and buses, mine is inside that garage right now, that is why I couldn't take a pic of it with the pole)! I love looking at what others have come up with. So lets see what you got!
