Before You Begin
Plan Your Site for Strength and Visibility
1
Choose the Right Spot
Pick an open, visible area — clear of trees, power lines, and overhead obstructions.
2
Ground Requirements
Create a hole 12" wide and 26–30" deep. Depth may vary based on soil type.
3
Concrete Tip
Use 60–80 lbs. of quick-set concrete to secure the ground sleeve. Allow 24–48 hours to cure before raising the pole.
4
Drainage Tip
Optional: Add a few inches of gravel at the bottom of the hole to help with drainage and prevent frost heave.
*Check Local Guidelines
Flag display is federally protected, but HOA or city height restrictions may apply.
