Installation

Installation is very easy and can be done by two people within 3 hours or we can do it for you.

Make sure that there are no potential problems with difficult soil conditions (very sandy, bedrock, concrete obstructions etc.) and that there are no potential hazards caused by the presence of trees, power cables, drains, water or gas mains etc.

First dig a 3 ft deep hole by 1.5ft across and place the steel tabernacle in the centre. You can use quick drying 'postmix' cement to fix it in place, but make sure that the tabernacle is vertical at this stage!

Offer up the flagpole to the 'ears' of the tabernacle and put in top bolt*.

"Walk the flagpole up" towards the tabernacle and insert the lower bolt*.
*Note with larger/heavier flagpoles it is advisable to pivot the flagpole on the lower bolt.

Attach and raise the flag after 12 hours or so to allow the concrete to fully harden!

For details of maintenance refer to "routine maintenance" under "faqs".

Remember that a large flag places extra strain on any flagpole so it is advisable to lower the flag when wind strengths above Force 5 are anticipated, see "flags" section.
