The Windbird must be at least 2 metres above the ground or roof on which it is installed. The higher the Windbird be placed, the less obstacles will interfere with the measurement. Radio transmission of wind measurements is improved when the Windbird is placed high up.

As a guide, here are the heights generally used:

* Meteorology: 10m above ground level
* Aviation: 10m above ground level
* Agriculture: 2m above ground level (for evapotranspiration calculations)

For "leisure" use, a 4.60m "windsurfing" mast is usually sufficient.

An 8m wooden, galvanized steel or composite pole is a very good choice for installing a Windbird (ex telephone pole).
