I'm having this built for my yard. Tired of those little cheap things you buy and the TX wind blows them down as soon as you set it up.   My neighbor has one and I'm gonna get me one. 11ft.

@SharkE.  It looks quite substantial but why do you need a faux windmill in your front yard?

@SharkE 

Is this decorative, or does it connect to something?

Be off to the other side of driveway. Remember I got 2 1/2 acres.

Just Tx. way of decorating. Not as bad as Arizona, but, we don't get much rain . So just the real green areas that the sprinkler hits ever turn green.

 

I've seen people decorate with big boulders (I got 2)

Some put driftwood in their yards. Due to the horrible winds if it isn't nailed down it's gonna blow to kindom come.

 

In this picture, one time, I had the neighbors big sheet of his roof blow over one time and I had to pay somebody to haul it off.  

 

He's a farmer and located way beyond that fence and the wind carried it over to me !

@SharkE.  Must be a local thing.  I've never seen windmills in Texas yards.  I did have a big red rock in my front yard when I bought the place but had it moved to the back yard.

It could turn into a projectile missile if a tornado came around.
