| Ground Set Cone Tapered Aluminum Flagpoles Wind Chart |
The map below shows the maximum steady wind expected at an elevation of thrity feet
above ground level within a fifty-year period of recurrence. Areas with the same maximum
constant or steady wind speed are indicated. Because wind speeds are usually not constant,
and gusts are involved, flagpoles (both flaged and unflaged) are listed in our charts with a
constant wind speed and a 1.3 gust factor. “WARNING” – recommended flag sizes
throughout this site do not represent a warranty that the flag size shown may be safely
flown in all wind speeds. Personal injury, flagpole damage or property damage can occur
when flying oversized flags and banners or flying flags in higher winds than
recommended. Flag poles and their associated wind speeds listed assume that ten
percent of the overall length of the flag pole is buried per our recommendations at or near
ground level. Special engineering may be required for other applications such as wall or
roof mounted flagpoles.

Design of safe flagpoles requires knowledge of the loads to which they will be
subjected. Principal load acting on flagpoles is wind load and that load must be carefully
determined. Maximum wind speeds to which flagpoles are exposed depend on geographical
locations, whether or not it is in the center of a large city, a small town’s outskirts, seashore,
at ground level or on the roof of a high building. Wind speeds generally are higher along
coastal areas than inland. They are also higher in open country than in the center of cities.
Wind speed also becomes greater as height above ground increases. Wind exerts a force on
the pole as well as the flag, thus both loads must be added to determine total load. Flags of
different sizes are designed to be flown from different poles. Obviously, it is important that
flagpoles be selected which are capable of supporting the largest flag intended to be
flown in the highest wind speed to which it will be subjected. Loads on flagpoles are
resisted by the mounting foundation, roof or wall to which it is secured.
