Product Description

The Deluxe parade flagpole case carries a two-piece parade pole, its finial, and its hardware between details, and protects them in storage. It is sewn from 18 oz. heavyweight vinyl, closes with snaps, and hangs from a shoulder strap so a guard member has both hands free for the flag. It measures 10 IN x 59 IN, sized for the sections of our 8 FT and 9 FT parade poles. Made in the USA.

Honor guards, color guards, and drill teams that travel to funerals, parades, and ceremonies wear out unprotected poles fast: chipped finials, scratched finishes, bent ferrules from a vehicle floor. A parade flagpole case is the cheapest way to keep a set looking new. Pair it with the poles and finials in our hardware and accessories.

Parade Flagpole Case Features

  • 18 oz. heavyweight vinyl – stiff, waterproof, and wipe-clean.
  • Snap closures – hold the flap shut over the pole sections and finial.
  • Shoulder strap – carries the case hands-free.
  • 10 IN x 59 IN – fits the sections of a two-piece 8 FT or 9 FT parade pole with the finial removed.
  • Made in the USA – sewn in the United States.

Historical Background

Military honor guards and civic color guards have carried their poles in cases for as long as they have traveled to ceremonies. Canvas came first; heavyweight vinyl replaced it because it sheds water, does not mildew, and wipes clean after a wet detail. The parade flagpole case is now standard equipment for funeral honors teams, veterans’ posts, police and fire honor guards, and school units that perform away from home.

Will an 8 FT pole fit?

Yes, in two sections. Unscrew the joint and remove the finial; each section of an 8 FT or 9 FT two-piece pole fits inside the 59 IN case.

Does it hold more than one pole?

It is sized for one pole’s two sections plus the finial and fittings. For a set of several poles, order one case per pole.

Will the finial fit inside?

Yes. Remove it from the ferrule and lay it in the case beside the sections. Wrap an eagle in a cloth to protect the wingtips.

Can I store the flag in it?

Roll the flag on the upper pole section and it will fit, but a flag stored long term should be dry and loosely folded, not rolled tight in vinyl.

Is it waterproof?

The vinyl is waterproof. The snap closure keeps rain off the contents on a walk from the vehicle; it is not sealed for submersion.

How do I clean the case?

Wipe the vinyl with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry it. Let the inside air out after a wet detail before you store the poles in it.
