Product Description

This spinning flagpole with base stands on its own, so it works where there is no wall to hang a bracket: a lawn, a patio, a storefront sidewalk, or a lobby entrance. The 8 FT x 2 IN aluminum pole spins to keep the flag from wrapping when the wind changes, and the heavy-duty cast aluminum base holds it upright.

The set includes a 4 FT x 6 FT nylon US flag, a size that reads well on an 8 FT pole. It is meant for residential and light commercial use, and it is a lower-cost alternative to an in-ground pole for a business that wants the flag out front. Made in the USA.

  • Pole: 8 FT x 2 IN spinning aluminum
  • Base: heavy-duty cast aluminum
  • Flag: 4 FT x 6 FT nylon US flag
  • Rotation: spinning pole design that lets the flag turn with the wind
  • Use: residential and light commercial outdoor display
  • Origin: made in the USA
  • Free-standing cast aluminum base: holds the 8 FT pole upright on a flat surface
  • 4 FT x 6 FT nylon US flag: sized to the pole, so the flag shows without dragging
  • No wall or ground mount needed: set it on a porch, patio, sidewalk, or lawn and move it when you need to
  • Residential and light commercial: for homes, offices, storefronts, and community buildings

Flag display at homes and small businesses grew with the twentieth century, and with it came the need for poles that did not require digging a footing. Wall brackets answered that for houses with a porch or a column. A base-mounted pole answers it for everywhere else, and adding a spinning section solves the wrapping problem that a fixed pole in a base has just as badly as one on a wall.

The flag itself is the 50-star pattern set on July 4, 1960 after Hawaii became a state. The rules for its display are set out in the United States Flag Code.

Symbolism at a Glance

  • Thirteen stripes: the original colonies that declared independence.
  • Fifty stars: the states of the Union, one star for each.
  • Red: hardiness and valor.
  • White: purity and innocence.
  • Blue: vigilance, perseverance, and justice.

  • Storefronts, restaurants, and offices that want the flag on the sidewalk without an in-ground pole.
  • Lawns, patios, and pool decks where there is no wall for a bracket.
  • Community buildings, churches, and clubs with a covered entrance.
  • Outdoor events and sales lots, since the set moves easily and stores flat.
  • Homes with brick or stone exteriors where mounting a bracket is difficult.

Does the base need to be anchored?

The set is designed to stand on its cast aluminum base on a flat surface. On an exposed site, bring the pole in during storms; an 8 FT pole with a 4 FT x 6 FT flag catches a good deal of wind.

What flag sizes fit the pole?

The set comes with a 4 FT x 6 FT flag, which is the right size for an 8 FT pole. A 3 FT x 5 FT flag also fits.

Is this the same as the Estate and Mansion sets?

No. The Estate and Mansion sets are wall-mounted on a bracket. This set stands in a base.

Can I fly this flag at night?

Yes, if it is lit. The Flag Code calls for the flag to be illuminated when it is displayed after dark.

How do I fly it at half-staff?

Raise the flag briskly to the top of the pole first, then lower it slowly to half-staff. At the end of the day raise it to the top again before lowering it. Half-staff observances are set by presidential or gubernatorial proclamation, and we post the current ones on our site.

What do I do when the flag wears out?

Bring it to us or send it in and we will tell you whether it can be repaired. If it is past saving, retire it through your local VFW or American Legion post, or at home following the Flag Code. Our repair and disposal page explains each option.
