Wall Mounted Flagpoles
In the past flagmakers have created bespoke flagpole 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 flagpole solution for city centre venues or locations with limited space who still want to make an eye-catching statement.
Wall-mounted flagpoles are frequently shorter than ground-mounted flagpoles and can be regarded as a less permanent approach to displaying a flag. So if you believe you might want to remove the flag at some point, this could be a suitable flagpole option for you.
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 your wall-mounted flagpole, ask questions about planning permission, and more.

If you own the building installing a wall mounted flagpole should not require planning permission, however we would always advice checking with your local council before proceeding. If you are a tenant, you will need the permission of your landlord.

We have 2 standard brackets available;
- Vertical brackets are often used to fix flagpoles at the top of a building, where the top of the flagpole exceeds the height of the building.
- 45 degree brackets are the standard alternative option and are often used on retail and hotel fronts.
To get the most out of your wall mounted flagpole, we can also offer bespoke brackets and installation in consultation with our team of flagpole experts.

You can fly standard landscape flags on a vertical and 45 degree wall mounted flagpoles, we strongly recommend this if flying a national flag.

5 Things You'll Need to Consider
Finding the perfect solution for your project can be a daunting process, particularly if you aren't quite sure what you are looking for. We highly recommend to all our customers, no matter how experienced, that you speak with one of our flagpole experts who will help ensure you achieve the best possible outcome. However, as a starter here's a quick guide of the choices you have to make and our brief recommendations.
Bracket Type
Choosing the correct bracket type for your project is the first decision to make. It's more than likely you will already have a good idea of how you want your flagpole to look so choosing one of the two options available should be any easy decision to make.
Angled brackets come at a 45 degree angle as standard and are without doubt the most popular choice 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.
More often than not, vertical brackets are installed near the top of a building to allow the height of the flagpole to extend over and above the peak of the premises. Vertical wall mounted flagpoles are often used in highly built up areas, where the added height allows them to increase visibility.
Flagpole Height
Angled flagpoles are available in 1.5 metre to 5m heights as standard, however, most angled wall mounted flagpoles 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 deciding on a height requirement, there is a balance to be found between being highly visible without becoming overly dominant. The most common factors you will need to consider are any obstacles you might need to clear, the main viewpoints of your flagpole and your immediate surroundings. We highly recommend matching the height of you flagpole to existing flagpoles in a high street setting.
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 the placement of your brackets and the clearance above the top of your building that you wish to achieve.
Flagpole Material
Glass fibre wall mounted flagpoles are the most popular choice, in particular when using an angled bracket, as they allow you to achieve a great finish at a lower cost. Moreover, the material is lightweight, making them easier to install at height and naturally a better option for fitting to a wall.
In most cases, aluminium would not be the first option when fixing a flagpole to a wall, in particular at and angle, due to its significant weight. However, in some circumstances aluminium is a specified requirement to achieve planning permission and is also a popular choice if wishing to opt for a bespoke painted flagpole.
What Type of Flag?
Getting your choice of flag right is crucially important in adding the perfect finish touch to you're flagpole. If you’re flying a flag on an angled wall mounted flagpole, it will need to have flag clip or eyelet installed in the bottom flying edge corner which a teather rope is attached to, fixing the flag to the wall and ensuring it does not wrap around your flagpole during high winds.
If you’re intending on flying a national flag, most likely a union, we highly recommend flying a standard landscape flag as this is considered to be the correct flag flying etiquette. We would also suggest that any other flags you are flying match this design as uniform is important when looking to achieve best possible aesthetics.
Alternatively, if you are looking to install a corporate flag on your wall mounted flagpole, we would advise that you consider a portrait flag which are designed specifically for wall mounted flagpoles, with the shape meaning that the bottom of the flag will run horizontal to the floor, accomplishing a fantastic premium finish. Moreover, we would also recommend using double sided decotex material, as this will allow you to achieve a premium finish on both sides of the flag and the additional weight will reduce movement and ensure your full flag design is visible in all weather conditions.
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.
