FAQ

How do I choose the right flagpole?

Choosing the right flagpole depends on several factors, such as the location, type and size of the flag. The most important thing is that the flagpole is tall enough for the size of the flag and can withstand wind and other weather conditions. The height of the flagpole should also match the height of the building. Aluminium and fibreglass masts are very popular and are characterised by high corrosion resistance.

How to mount a flagpole?

The installation of a flagpole requires a solid foundation to ensure the stability of the entire structure. The flagpole should be mounted on a foundation dug into the ground according to the instructions. It is also important that the flagpole is properly levelled and that the flag is properly attached to prevent it from being destroyed by strong winds. We recommend using a professional installation company to ensure the safety and durability of the installation.

What types of flagpoles are available?

Flagpoles can be divided into several types depending on the material they are made from and the method of assembly. The most popular are aluminium and fibreglass. Each has its advantages – for example, aluminium masts are lightweight and easy to install, while fibreglass masts are extremely durable and resistant to corrosion. There are also different mounting options – freestanding, wallmounted and ground or roof-mounted.

What are the standard sizes of flagpoles?

Standard sizes of flagpoles range from 6 to 12 metres in height, but taller flagpoles are available from 13 to 22 metres. Choosing the appropriate flagpole height depends on the size of the flag and the location where the flagpole will be installed. For example, a 120×350 cm flag is recommended for an 8 metre flagpole.

How do I maintain a flagpole?

For a flagpole to last for many years, it is important to check its technical condition regularly. It is recommended that the flagpole is cleaned regularly, especially if it has been exposed to salt or dirt. Flags should also be replaced regularly, especially if they are damaged. In the case of masts with a flag-raising mechanism, it is worth checking the condition of the ropes and locks to ensure that they are working properly.

Do I need permission to install a flagpole?

In Poland, in most cases, a permit is not required to install a flagpole on private property. However, if the pole is to be installed in a public place or is of considerable height, it may be necessary to obtain permission from the local authority. It is recommended that you contact your local council or town hall prior to installation to ensure that all regulations are met.

How much does a flagpole cost?

The price of a flagpole depends on its height, material and additional accessories, such as a flag hoist or lighting. The cost of a standard 8-metre aluminium pole starts at around EUR 165 net, while more advanced models are more expensive. The cost of installation and foundations should also be taken into account.

What are the characteristics of a Standard flagpole with a rope on the outside?

A Standard flagpole is the simplest and most popular type of flagpole. The rope used to raise and lower the flag is on the outside of the pole, making it easier to operate. It is guided by a rotating socket at the top of the pole and the ends of the rope are attached to a external cleat.

What are the advantages of a flagpole with an internal halyard system and a windtracker arm?

An internal halyard system with a lowering arm (called a windtracker) is a more advanced version of the flagpole. The rope is hidden inside the flagpole, which improves aesthetics and protects it from the weather conditions. In addition, the windtracker keeps the flag fully extended even when there is no wind, so the flag is always clearly visible. This is an ideal solution for advertising flags and locations where aesthetics are important.

What is the difference between a flagpoles without an arm?

Supra flagpole with a rope inside is an option where the flag raising mechanism is hidden inside the pole, improving its aesthetics and protecting the rope from external factors. Unlike a pole with a rotating arm, this version does not keep the flag fully extended, which can be less effective when there is no wind. This solution is perfect for people who value simplicity and minimalism. It works well for flagpoles with the national flag.

What type of flagpole should I choose for my company flag with a logo?

The best choice for a company flag with a logo is a flagpole with an internal halyard system and a windtracker arm. This type of flagpole not only protects the rope from the weather conditions, but also keeps the flag fully unfurled even when there is no wind. The company logo is always clearly visible and presented in an aesthetic and professional manner. This solution is particularly recommended for companies that want to display their flag effectively in all weather conditions.

When is the best time to use portable mobile flagpoles?

Portable Mobile Flagpoles are perfect for situations where you need a temporary solution to display your flag. They are ideal for outdoor events such as fairs, exhibitions, festivals, sporting events and conferences. Their mobility makes them easy to transport and assemble, allowing you to quickly install the flagpole anywhere. In addition, portable flagpoles are often chosen by companies that need the flexibility to display their logo or branding in a variety of locations, both outdoors and indoors.
