Frequently Asked Ground Mounted Flagpole Questions
Do I need planning permission for my flagpole?
To install a permanent Flagpole, you will need planning permission from your local council. Our experience is that in general planning permission is straight forward to obtain, particularly if there are other poles in the area which form a precedent. Our team can help you with this and provide all the information you will need for your application.
What size flag will work best on the flagpole I choose?
You need to fly a flag that suits the size of your flagpole; too big or too small and it will look out of proportion. For standard landscape flags a good guide is that the longest (top) edge of the flags should be a quarter of the height of the pole; for example, a 2m x1m flag would be ideal for an 8m Pole.
