Fitted to the top of the pole, it holds the flag out on permanent display and ensures the message or design is displayed regardless of wind strength. It rotates to follow the wind direction but is only suited to portrait orientation flags.

Which Flagpole is the best option for me?

The height of your flagpole should reflect its surroundings and the buildings on which the flagpole is attached or stands in front of. Here is a guide to suggested flagpole sizes:

A 6m flagpole height would suit a building with 1-2 floors.
An 8m – 10mm flagpole height would suit a building with 2-3 floors.
A 10m – 12m flagpole height would suit a tower block, stadium, or prestige site and is ideal on sites with more than one pole.

In order to keep your fiberglass flagpole clean, we recommend tilting the fiberglass flagpole and cleaning it with hot water and soft soap.
The wax for boats can be used for extra lustre.

Why should you choose a flagpole with banner-arm ?

The flagpole with banner arm has the advantage of offering optimal visibility of the flag even when there is no wind. The banner arm ensures that the flag is always taut and therefore clearly visible. With a standard pole your flag will be less visible when there is little wind.

Base options. Permanent fiberglass flagpoles come with tilting plate (hinged base)

The hinged base plate makes installation and maintenance much easier and enables the flagpole to be tilting with ease for cleaning. The flagpoles are installed in a concrete base using a mounting hinge. The hinge makes the installation easier and enables to lay the flagpole on the ground during maintenance or for changing the flag (for Banner version). A system of screws makes it possible to adjust the vertical position of the flagpole.

Instructions how to make a foundation for hinged base plate

These instructions are guidelines for making a foundation, it should be treated as an information. For the final project of foundation, please consult a local architect and a civil engineer who are familiar with the terrain and climatic characteristics specific to the place where the foundation will be made.
The information presented in these instructions may be subject to technical modifications without previous notice.

Figure 1 – Make a hole in the ground with the following dimensions:

Figure 2 – The hole should not be dig wider and then a form inserted, the hole should be filled directly with cement. An alternative is to pour a continuous slab under all poles, in which case forms may be used. Pour about 5 cm of gravel at the bottom of hole.

Figure 3 – Fill the hole with concrete. Foundation concrete should be class B 17.5 or B 20. The threaded mounting studs from the foundation frame should protrude 75mm, or maximum 80mm above the mounting plate (3 mm thickness).

Figure 4 – After about 7 days defracted. From the time of pouring the concrete to the time of erecting the pole, seven calendar days must pass. Alternatively, an accelerant may be added to the concrete, in which case the concrete may be ready for mounting of the pole within a few hours.

Figure 5 – Fix the tilt plate nail, lift the flagpole and tighten the screws. The threaded mounting studs from the foundation frame (M16) must not be lubricated with any type of oil or grease.
Figure 6 – Adjust the screws to position the flagpole perfectly vertical. The flagpole must be vertically levelled with a levelling tool (40 cm level tool will suffice). Tighten the nuts after one month.

At the mounting site of poles, the possibility of collision with vehicles should be mitigated. To this end the pole should be screened by a safety framework made of pipe in the form of posts or a frame of the heights providing protection from vehicles.
The assembly of the flagpoles should be performed by at lease two people.

Workplace safety manual during flagpole maintenance

Flagpole is designed for diplaying national, organizational, company, advertising and other types of flags. Flagpoles can be of one piece or sectional construction (from many pieces). They can be made of fiberglass or aluminium.
Flagpole can be installed:

Flagpoles can be from 6 to 12m high.
Flagpoles should be installed and operate in a way not causing danger for people and property.
During flagpole conservation all elements of the flagpole and the proper wayof their fixing should be checked. Maintenance or repair actions, connected withthe change of accessories, which require putitng the flagpole down should be carried out in maximally safe and cautions with the presence of at least 3 people.
Putting down the flagpole can take place when the wind speed does not exceed 3 in Beaufort scale (up to 19 km/h or 5,4 m/s). Banner type flagpoles are allowed to be put down when the wind speed is stronger but only when taking all the necesarry precautions. Steps to put down the flagpole :

Before starting the actions become familiar with the place where the flagpole will be put down
Level and clean the place where the flagpole will be put
Secure the terrain around the flagpole et least with the length of the flagpole
Put the flag to the down part of the flagpole (does not apply to Banner flagpole due to lack of halyard system)
5.1 Flagpole with a hinged base plate :
a) make sure that the upper and the lower part of the base are joined together firmly by screw creating a hinge
b) unscrew the upper nuts of the anchor bars
c) hold the flagpole and move back slowly till the flagpole will be down. Take care of the accessories installed on the upper part of the flagpole.
5.2 Flagpole with ground sleeve :
a) take the flagpole out of the ground sleeve, put the lower part of the flagpole on a rough surface, and gradually lean the flagpolecontrolling in the first stage its lower part not to allow it to overweight the upper part
b) after balancing the lower part of the flagpole to its upper part, the person holding the lower part should now help to hold the upper part till the flagpole is down
After executing all the maintenance or repair actions put the flagpole up using the instructions above but in reversed order
Maintenance and repair action are much easier using a hoisiting crane. All maintenance and repair operations must be done by trained people.

In case of finding out that the technical condition of the flagpole is poor, the defects should be announced to the person responsible for flagpoles usage and the flagpole should be secured

Maximal allowable wind speed

To understand exactly the conditions under which the flag should be lowered and the mast folded, we attach an informative table regarding the wind speed. To know the exact wind speed, please refer to the “Weather Forecast” specific to the flagpole mounting area. The Beaufort scale is an empirical measurement scale, comprising 13 degrees (from 0 to 12), the average wind speed over a period of ten minutes.

Wind – natural horizontal flow of air in relation to the surface of the Earth, caused by the differences in horizontal air pressure
Wind speed – the distance which is covered by air molecules in a unit of time. Meteorology notes the wind speed in m/s
For weather forecasting, wind speed is calculated based on the average wind speed during the 10 minute interval proceding the observation
Gust of wind – is a sudden movement of air exceeding the average wind speed in the last 10 minutes interval by over 5 m/s

Wind name	wind speed m/s	wind speed km/h	Beaufort number	Land condition
Calm	0.0 - 0.2	< 1	0	Smoke rises vertically
Light air	0.3 - 1.5	1 - 5	1	Wind motion visible in smoke, wind socks do not react
Light breeze	1.6 - 3.3	6 - 11	2	Wind felt on face, leaves rustle. Wind socks respond.
Gentle breeze	3.4 - 5.4	12 - 19	3	Leaves and smaller twigs in constant motion, wind unfurls light flags
Mooderate breeze	5.5 - 7.9	20 - 28	4	Dust and loose paper rise. Small branches begin to move.
Fresh breeze	8.0 - 10.7	29 - 38	5	Leaves covered bushes begin to sway, small waves with whitecaps form on inland waters.
Strong breeze	10.8 - 13.8	39 - 49	6	Large branches in motion. Whistling heard in overhead wires. Umbrella use becomes difficult.
High wind.	13.9 - 17.1	50 - 61	7	Whole trees in motion. Effort needed to walk agains the wind.
Gale	17.2 - 20.7	62 - 74	8	Some branches broken from trees. Progress on foot is seriously impeded.
Strong gale	20.8 - 24.4	75 - 88	9	Wind causes slight damage to building (i.e. roof tiles peel off)
Storm, whole gale	24.5 - 28.4	89 - 102	10	Trees are broken off, uprooted, wind causes significant damage to buildings.
Violent storm	28.5 - 32.6	103 - 117	11	Causes widespread damage.
