Basic Assembly

Advanced Installation Options

Fence posts, poles, decks, and even mailboxes are all common mounting options due to their convenience. 

Many users prefer these types of locations as the data they provide is accurate from their ground level 

perspective. However, because wind in these spots is often affected by obstructions, the readings may 

differ compared to local reporting stations.   

Some advanced installation options include tripods, wall mounts, eave cross mounts, chimney mounts, 

and many others. Any of these can be combined with U-bolts for attachment onto a tall cylindrical conduit 

using our Adjustable Base. Please note that these advanced options will require additional equipment and 

possibly professional help for best results.

or injury that may occur during 

installation.
