Wind Chart Information For Flagpoles

When selecting the appropriate flagpole for your needs, it's essential to take into account the maximum wind speeds your area experiences. Use the included map as a reference guide. Flagpoles Etc recommends various flag sizes based on wind speed and pole height, tailoring to the specific requirements of each flagpole. For safety and optimal performance, consider the average wind conditions and flag size for your location. Higher wind speeds, especially in coastal regions, require smaller flags. Please contact us for recommended flag sizes to match wind speeds in your area.
