You can place the vinyl trim on the blades and tail and leave it that way if you like or you can go ahead and add the college name and logo.

Tail assembly

Once you have the base together. Tighten all of the bolts - start at the platform and work down each level -Next put the tail together. Mount the wheel and place it on the stand. At this point you will have completed the assembly. You can leave the windmill like this or you can add as much of the vinyl trim as you want.

How to put an eight foot windmill together

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Today I put an Iowa State Windmill together and took a series of photos that I will be using for the instruction sheet that will be sent to each customer. Thought I would share it here. Your windmill will arrive UPS in a 30X25X5 inch box. The first steps are to unpack the windmill and lay out all of the parts

Adding the 2 Foot extension kit to the Windmill

Monday, May 5th, 2008

There is a two foot extension kit available for the Garden galvanized windmill.  It makes the windmill look a lot taller.  It takes only about an hour to add this extension to the standard eight foot windmill.  The extension kit costs $28.95 and has a shipping cost of $15.90.  If you do want to extend the windmill to ten feet there are some things to know.  First of all you will need a ladder to be able to put the wheel and tail assembly onto the tower.  The next thing to know is it highly recommended that you mount the windmill to a cement base.  The added height will greatly increase the change of the windmill tipping over in high winds. Here are some photos showing the extended  Garden Windmill compared with a standard 8 foot windmill.Garden Windmill with 2 Foot extensionExtended and Standard Windmills
