Wind Chime Support Disk & Striker Patterns

Contents include:
Tubing sizes from ½” to 2” in ¼” increments
Chime sets for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 chimes
Generic layout patterns for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 points or sides

Instructions
Each chime pattern is formatted to
print on 8 ½” x 11” paper. A few
oversized diagrams are divided
between two sheets for ease of
printing.

Each pattern includes several

overlays on the same diagram.

 Blue dots represent a support

location for either a single mount
chime tube or a dual hanging mount
arranged to the side of the tube.
Occasionally, a tube may share a
side mount location with its neighbor
because of crowding.
 Red dots represent suggested
locations for a three-point hanging
mount to support the disk or ring.
 Green Dots are suggested
locations for a four-point hanging
mount to support the disk or ring.
 The black dot defines the pattern center.
 The Green circles around the circumference indicate the chime tube location and size.
 The outer most circle is the diameter of the support disk
 The Orange inner circle is a suggested size for a circular striker
 The Blue star like pattern is a suggested “radial striker” used to synchronize the strike
to several chimes or to produce a quieter and more subtle sound.
 An alternative to the radial-striker is the striker-keeper made from aluminum flat stock
that allows for a more robust strike but remains more subtle than a circular striker.
 The striker-keeper works particularly well for gusty and high wind environments and
produces a very pleasant and subtle sound.

 Keeper-Strikers

Support disk for 3, 4, or 5 chime keeper-striker ^To Index^

Circumference hole locations are for supporting 3, 4 or 5 chimes. To support the entire chime set you can use
either a 3/16” x 3” eye-bolt in the center hole or completely eliminate the three ribs and use a 3-point chain or
cord mount attached to holes around the circumference, not marked. When you use an eyebolt for support, the
two holes either side of the center hole are to attach the cord for the keeper-striker. You can also use a fixed
striker mounted on a ¼” rod that hangs below the support disk and attaches using the center hole.
