I use the normal windbreaker or tracksuit material that I buy from the local Indian material shop. Mother in law does the sowing and I make the round rings from "Staal draad"and weld the two ends together and shape it round. She the sows the material onto the ring. Lasts about 12 months, but hey, it is cheap to make. She makes me ten at a time. Alot of the local pilots and even farmers buy fom me.

New stocks just arrived, standard price Z1 = 1 windsock. In todays inflationary world. Z1 = 1 bottle of red wine !
But we are making windsocks now and also signal strips.
Signal strips are R550,00 a set of 4 2,5 metres x 600 mm wide with reflective tape on the edges and eyelets to tie down in a complete package. Weighs 700 grams.

The bottle of red wine is alot cheaper than my windsock for R300. You should then maybe order from Zulu1.
