Telescoping Pole Ideas

A telescoping pole is a great option for homeowners who want to measure the weather in their backyard. This type of pole is also easy to install and can be used on any terrain.

The first thing you need to know is that there are two types of weather station poles: telescoping and non-telescoping.

Telescoping poles are easier to install but they have a limited height range. Non-telescoping poles can reach higher heights, but installation is more difficult.

A telescoping weather station pole is a pole that can be adjusted to the height needed by the user. Telescoping means that it can move in and out, or expand.

The telescoping weather station poles are usually made of aluminum, fiberglass, or steel.

Telescoping poles are the most popular type of pole for homeowners because they’re easy to install and can be adjusted to fit any height.

If you live in a rural area, then you might need a non-telescoping pole because it can reach higher heights than a telescopic pole.

You see large trees, a barn or any other type of object present in the rural area will need to be worked around to get the best reception and thus the best weather station results.

You Can Locate Your Weather Station On A Fence Like This


The Stationary Pole Is a Great Choice From Our Weather Station Pole Ideas

A stationary pole is a pole that is a set length, and will not be able to extend to lesser or greater lengths. 

You would use this pole when you are sure your location is the one you need. You are also sure of the fact that you will not be moving your weather station for any reason.

This is often used for the side of building mounts, and mounts that are attached to a ground mount fixture. Here is an example of a stationary mount pole.

This is the one idea I picked from our list of weather station pole ideas.

I attached my pole to the side of my tool shed. The La Crosse weather station has been operating really well for me for over 3 years now.

Use a Tripod Pole To Mount

Many different owners of personal weather equipment will need to be using a tripod mount. a tripod mount may be attached to the following type of areas.

  • A cement poured pad on your property
  • An area on your flat roof.
  • On the floor of a deck
  • An open area in your yard. This could be a grass area.

You see a Tripod mount can be very flexible to use on your property. It is convenient to move around, yet also strong enough to serve as a solid, firm, and steady platform for a weather station.

A Fence Bracket Pole

Many yards have fences around them. many fences that are built today in housing developments are strong and sturdy enough to hold wild animals out of yards. 

They are also tall enough to keep out mountain lions, cougars, as well as the more common coyotes, deer, rabbits, etc.

Thus the fences structures are strong and wide enough to attach mounting poles to the top rail of these fences. This would also satisfy the weather station requirements for a height above any ground, or rain or wind influenced changes in the weather station readings.

An AcuRite Pole Mounting Kit

The AcuRite weather station pole is the best option for mounting your personal weather station. The telescoping design allows you to adjust the height of your weather station depending on your needs.

The AcuRite Weather Station Pole is a telescoping pole that adjusts to fit any height for mounting your personal weather station. The pole is made from durable aluminum and has an adjustable screw-in mount at the top to accommodate different types of outdoor conditions.

The Ambient Pole Mounting Kit

I mention and will talk about the Ambient weather station mounting pole kit (kits) because of their flexibility, choices provided, and value in the price presented to the consumer. 

I have been selling these for the past few years, and I sell more of these than any other mounts or mount combinations.

I will now cover 2 normal pole kits, and 1 tripod mast kit for you to take a look at.
