Why you Should Get a Commercial Flag Pole

Commercial flagpoles are different from residential flagpoles in that commercial flagpoles are used in commercial buildings such as offices, commercial complexes, desks, schools, colleges, exhibitions, workshops, automobile shops or garages, and so on.

Why install commercial flagpoles:

Imagine someone enters your workshop or office premises and sees the national flag proudly waving high in the air. It immediately gives a feeling of pride and happiness. Not only this, it also creates a positive impression on the mind of your visitor. It creates a feeling of trust and sends a positive message. This is really good for your business. It doesn’t matter if the customer is new or old; a commercial flag pole flying the American flag is a plus for your business.

You can also use commercial flag poles by Federal Flags in your automobile shops to display car brands in the parking lot. This will help your customers navigate the parking lot better. Again this will make you look that much more professional in the eyes of your customer.

Buying guide:

Now that you have decided to buy a commercial flagpole, it is important to understand the basics that will help you choose the right one for your business. The first thing you need to do is to decide the location of your flagpole. This will determine the size and length of the pole. Bigger poles are able to accommodate bigger flags which results into a much larger impact on your potential customers.

Make sure that the area where you will install your commercial flag pole is at least as far from a thoroughfare as the length of the pole. Say you have decided to put up flagpoles in the parking lot and due to some reason, the flagpole falls down, it cannot fall into traffic. This is known as the "fall down rule". Although such an occurrence is extremely rare, tornadoes or hurricanes, do have the strength to knock down flagpoles. So regulations demand that you take this risk into account in your site selection.

There are also indoor commercial flag poles available at Federal Flags that look good in any reception area, conference room or other meeting place. They say that the first impression is the last impression, and a flag pole can go a long way in creating that impression.

Installation of commercial flagpoles is fairly straight forward. For 15 and 20 foot poles, it’s possible to do the installation yourself. For taller poles, it is best to have a professional installer do the work. This is because a significant amount of concrete is needed to create a proper footing for large flagpoles and a crane might be needed to lift the pole into the ground sleeve.

For the do it yourself installation, you will need a few tools to do the job such as concrete and tools to mix it, shovel, wooden shims, and gravel. If you think it is too much for you to handle, you can call in your regular guy to install your pole for you.
