Frequently Asked Questions

These are the fan diameters in inches:

Windmill Heads
30, 38, 47, & 60

Small Scale Fans
30, 38, 47, & 60

Large Scale Fans
60, 72, 96, & 120

The half fan is made by cutting a whole fan in half.

Wood Stand — Footprint
8-foot — 32 x 32 inches
11-foot — 44 x 44 inches
15-foot — 50 x 50 inches
20-foot — 62 x 62 inches

Metal Stand — Footprint
8-foot — 30 x 30 inches
11-foot — 42 x 42 inches

We build our 8, 11, 15, and 20-foot windmill stands, water towers, and wagons with ProWood pressure-treated pine.

Our windmill heads have been used on cedar stands, painted wood stands, and metal stands, just to name a few.  We suggest using treated lumber for its durability, insect resistance, and other benefits compared to non-treated lumber.

Note that the lumber prices vary by region, so we suggest visiting a local lumber store for accurate pricing.

The fan blades, wire ring, and tail are made from galvanized steel.  All other head components are made from steel and dipped in industrial black paint.

The 30, 38, and 47-inch windmill heads use a durable hub with sealed bearings that do not need greasing.

The 60-inch windmill head uses a heavy duty hub/bearing assembly, and is greased through the spindle and packs both the front and rear bearings simultaneously. We recommend greasing these bearings once a year. The same hub/bearing assembly is used at the pivot point where the vertical and horizontal shafts meet.

None of our windmill heads have a brake.

The horizontal shaft on the 60-inch windmill head has a 90 degree break which positions the tail so that it is parallel with the fan.  As a result, the tail prevents the fan from facing directly into the wind, making the fan spin slower.

The windmill heads come with red vinyl tips that may be applied to the fan blades.

The tail can be plain (galvanized steel), or can have a vinyl state flag of Texas for no additional charge.

We no longer offer custom tail designs. If you would like a custom tail, we recommend purchasing the head with the plain (galvanized steel) tail, and then taking the tail to a local paint or vinyl shop for customization.

All windmill heads come with easy to follow step-by-step instructions for building the wood stand.  Included in these instructions are tool requirements, lumber requirements, and templates which can be used to make sure the angles are cut properly.  These instructions are located in the large square box that the windmill head ships in.

All metal windmill stands come with assembly instructions showing how to assemble the metal windmill stand.  These instructions are located in the long rectangular box that the windmill stand ships in.

Note that if you purchase a complete metal windmill, you will get both set of instructions.

For the 30", 38", and 47" windmill heads, we no longer include the large flat washer previously used when attaching the fan to the horizontal shaft.  This part has been obsolete for a few years now, as it was causing premature failure of the bearings.

We apologize if the instructions still show this washer.

These states include Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

For all other items, we will provide you with a shipping quote per your request. All shipping quotes expire 2 weeks (14 calendar days) from the time we provide the quote to you.

Most orders are processed within 1 to 4 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) after we receive your order. Custom orders and orders placed during peak times (Christmas season, etc) may require additional processing time. Once the order ships, there could be delays caused by the shipper or postal service that are outside of our control.

We ship using UPS and FedEx ground service for most items. For larger items and larger orders, we ship using various freight companies.

We do not ship to post office boxes or APO/FPO addresses.

We no longer offer shipping outside of the contiguous United States.

Once your order has shipped, we will send you an email which will include a shipment tracking number that you can use to check the shipping status. You can also contact us and provide your name and order number and we will check the shipping status.

Questions about the Shipping Policy should be sent to us at info@scottwindmills.com.

All products can be picked up at the factory in Elm Mott, Texas by appointment to avoid the shipping or delivery fee.

All of our products can be shipped except for the 15 and 20-foot complete windmills.  For these products, we can deliver to nearby addresses or they can be picked up at the factory in Elm Mott, TX.

For products that do not include free shipping, you can use the "Add to Shipping Quote" button to request a price quote.  We will reply with the price quote, which will include the price of the product(s) plus the shipping charge plus tax (if shipping to a Texas address or picking up at the factory in Elm Mott, Texas).

Our products made from wood (windmill stands, water towers, wagons, etc) will most likely have a relatively high shipping charge based on the size and weight of the product and distance shipped.  To determine the shipping charge, we shop various freight companies for the lowest rate, and then provide this rate to the customer via the price quote.

Occasionally a shipment will be delivered to the wrong address, such as to a neighbor's house or to a nearby house with a similar address.  By checking the shipment tracking details online and reviewing the photo or text uploaded by the person who made the delivery, you may be able to figure out where it was delivered and then either retrieve it yourself or contact the shipper to let them know to retrieve it.

Unfortunately, we have not yet found a shipper that gets it right every time, and we share the frustration when there is a shipment issue.  Almost always, the issue works itself out fairly quickly.  Rest assured that we are here to help as needed.

Unfortunately, we have not yet found a shipper that gets it right every time, and we share the frustration when parts are missing or get damaged during the shipment. These are the steps to take if this happens:

1. Keep the original box and packaging material, as they may be required during the claim process.
2. Contact us and provide details about the damage. We will need pictures of 1) all sides of the box if it was damaged and 2) all parts that were received whether they were damaged or not.
3. We will contact the shipping company and file a claim.  The shipping company may contact you to set up a time for a damage inspection.
4. We will ship you a new replacement part.  If a return label is included, repackage the damaged part and return it to us.

These are the fees for setting up complete windmills at the time of delivery:

Windmill — Set Up Fee

These are the fees for setting up water towers at the time of delivery:

Water Tower — Set Up Fee
Small — $10
Medium — $15
Large — $20
Extra-Large — $25

Set up includes erecting one windmill or water tower on stable ground having ample space and access, driving rebar through each leg into soil for anchoring purposes, and assembling and installing the head components.  For other conditions and services, the set up fee will be adjusted and must be approved before the set up takes place.

We recommend driving rebar through holes drilled in each leg at a diagonal near the base of the stand. Additionally, you can drive an auger into the ground below the center of the stand, and connect a steel cable to the auger and to the top of the stand, placing a turn buckle in the middle so that the cable can be tightened.

Yes, the fan turns and the head pivots when the wind blows.

This is a video of our 8-foot windmill and small water tower:

To lower the fan speed, tighten the nut that holds the fan to the horizontal shaft. To prevent the fan from spinning altogether, loop a bungee cord or other tie down around the fan's wire ring and the windmill stand. Can also remove the head by sliding it off of the vertical shaft. All of these would have to take place before the high winds arrive.

Note that our 60-inch windmill head's horizontal shaft is fixed at a 90 degree angle so that the fan is parallel to the tail, which lowers the fan speed.

During shipment, the spoke(s) on the fan frame may be slightly bent forward or backwards, causing a wobble when the fan spins. The spokes are the square tubing pieces that are welded onto the center hub plate. Each fan blade is screwed onto a single spoke.

These are the steps to remove any wobble:

1. Stop the fan from spinning.
2. Make sure the hub is fastened tightly to the hub plate.
3. Spin the fan by hand slowly, while looking at the fan blades from the side view to determine which spokes need adjustment.
4. Gently push (towards the fan) or pull (towards the tail) the needed spoke(s) into alignment, until the wobble is eliminated.

Over time, the windmill head will "break in" and pivot on the vertical shaft just fine. If you want to speed up the process, you can do any or all of these steps:

• Use sandpaper to gently remove some paint from the vertical shaft (only the part that slides into the horizontal shaft).
• Add grease to the vertical shaft (only the part that slides into the horizontal shaft).
• Balance a 3/4-inch ball bearing on top of the vertical shaft, then slide the horizontal shaft over both.

Our windmills are made of heavy duty components and are built to last in an outdoor environment. Although we have not performed any kind of testing, many customers have attested that our windmills have survived very strong winds and even hurricanes! The key is anchoring the windmill properly so that it does not blow over and get damaged.

Yes! The cheap garden windmills cannot be compared to our high quality windmills. Our windmills are made with heavy duty components and are built to last in an outdoor environment. When the cheaper windmills sold by others fly apart, ours will be spinning proudly!

Our windmill heads come with a vertical shaft which mounts to the windmill stand.  Then the included horizontal shaft, which secures the fan on one end and the tail on the other end, slides onto the vertical shaft.

Existing stands may need to be retrofitted with our vertical shaft, per the instructions included with our windmill head.  Also, there needs to be adequate clearance at the top of the stand so that our windmill head can pivot freely without damaging the fan blades.

These windmills are decorative only, and are not designed to pump anything. Any modifications to the originally manufactured head components will void the warranty.

No. The windmill fans are designed to be lighter in weight than those used on our windmills, making them easier to mount on a wall.

The windmill heads are heavy duty and designed to be used on a windmill.

The mounting instructions will vary based on the type of surface, which include wood, drywall, plaster, brick, stone, metal, and others.  We suggest visiting a hardware store and asking their representative for the correct mounting application for your surface.
