Everywhere a Flag

 

Flags are a great way to attract attention to your site while honoring the country. As I drive through the cities and counties of Virginia, I notice a large number of flags proudly displayed at many businesses and institutions along the way. Flags unfurling against the crisp blue sky really caught my eye as I was chugging along last week.

After July 4, 1776, Colonists felt the need of a national flag to symbolize their new spirit of unity and independence: ‘Resolved that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes alternate red and white: that the union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field.” The significance of the colors was defined this way: “White signifies Purity and Innocence; Red, Hardiness and Valor; Blue, Vigilance, Perseverance and Justice.”

In addition to installing custom-manufactured commercial and architectural electric signage products, Holiday Signs also becomes involved with providing and installing flagpoles. We frequently install them at car dealerships, churches, schools, hospitals, medical offices, hotels, restaurants and other businesses.

Flagpoles are usually installed using the direct burial method into the ground. Flagpole heights can range from 15′ to over 100′.  When engineering a flagpole, usually 10% of the exposed height is below grade. A metal pole sleeve is inserted in the ground that accepts the base of the pole. Steel wedges are normally welded to the bottom that help center the pole during installation and a steel spike is attached for lightning protection.
