Wall Mounted Flagpoles
In the past Flagmakers have created bespoke wall mounted flagpoles solutions that adorn the walls of luxury hotels, government and embassy buildings, and some of the most recognised retail brands in the world.
A wall mounted flagpole is the ideal solution for city centre venues or locations with limited space where a strong, high-visibility display is still required.
A flagpole that is mounted on the wall is frequently shorter than ground-mounted flagpoles and can be a practical and less permanent approach to displaying a flag. This makes them suitable for sites where removal, repositioning, or updating the display may be required.
To get the most out of your flagpole, we offer bespoke solutions and easy-to-arrange installations. Begin your consultation with our team of flagpole experts to learn more about the flagpole options available for wall mount flag pole systems, including planning considerations, bracket types, installation approaches, and finish options.

5 Things to Consider When Choosing a Wall Mounted Flagpole
Finding the perfect solution can be a daunting process, particularly when requirements vary by building type, location, and display purpose.
We highly recommend speaking with a flagpole export to ensure the correct flag pole and wall mount combination is selected.
Bracket Type
Choosing the correct bracket type for your project is the first decision to make. It's more than likely an intended design in mind, so selecting one of the two main flag pole mounts wall options is usually straightforward.
Angled brackets come at a 45-degree angle as standard and are the most popular choice for any wall mounted flag pole. when it comes to wall mounted flagpoles. As they allow the flagpole and flag to extend out from the wall, they are the perfect solution for business in high footfall areas, providing great visibility from a distance as well as a portraying a positive branding image.
Vertical brackets are often installed higher on a building, allowing the wall mounted flag pole to extend above the roofline for improved prominence. This style is frequently used in dense city or multi-storey locations.
Flagpole Height
Angled flagpoles are available in 1.5 metre to 5m heights as standard. However, most angled wall mounted flag pole installations do not exceed 3m, and anything above this height requires additional stay wires attaching to the bracket to ensure that the flagpole remains stable and will likely need planning permission prior to installation.
When determining height, there is a balance between visibility and proportionality. Key considerations include, obstacles viewing angles, and surrounding architecture.
Vertical wall mounted flag poles range from 4m to 8m as standard, with bespoke options available on request. The height of your flagpole will ultimately depend on bracket placement and the clearance above the building edge.
Flagpole Material
Glass fibre wall mounted flag poles are the most popular choice, especially when using angled brackets, as they offer a premium finish at a lower cost. The material’s lightweight properties also support safer installation at height.
Aluminium is generally less suitable for angled installations due to its weight, but it may be required for planning permission in certain areas or preferred when a bespoke painted finish is required.
What Type of Flag?
Getting your choice of flag right is crucially important in adding the perfect finish touch to your flagpole. If you’re flying a flag on an angled wall mounted flag pole, it will need to have flag clip or eyelet installed in the bottom flying edge corner which a tether rope is attached to, fixing the flag to the wall and ensuring it does not wrap around your flagpole during high winds.
For national flags such as the Union Flag, a standard landscape orientation is recommended.
Portrait flags are often used for corporate branding on 45-degree poles, as the shape aligns neatly with the ground and provides strong visibility. Double-sided materials such as decotex can improve clarity and reduce movement in high winds.
Finishing Touches
All of our angled and vertical wall mounted flagpoles come with a white finial as standard. The finial sits right at the top of the flagpole and is a focal point of the flagpole due to its location and proximity to the flag. For this reason, we highly recommend adding a gold finial to your flagpole to achieve an aesthetically superior final product that looks great in any location.
