Frequently Asked Questions
Which base should I choose for my flag?This depends on the size of your flag and the surface it will be used on. For soft ground such as grass or soil, choose a ground spike. For hard surfaces such as patios or concrete, choose a cross brace with weight bag or a parasol base filled with water or sand. For indoor use, the square base is ideal. For car dealerships, the car foot is the most practical option. Always check the compatibility of your chosen base with your flag size before ordering.
Can I use a small flag base with a large or extra large flag?No — the Cross Brace & Weight Bag, Plastic Ground Spike and Basic Parasol Base are suitable for small and medium flags only. For large and extra large flags, use the Large Cross Brace & Weight Bag, Metal Ground Spike, Premium Parasol Base with Feet, Square Base or Car Foot.
Do I need to add salt to water-filled bases in winter?Yes — bases filled with water during winter months should have salt added to prevent the water from freezing, which could damage the base. This applies to both the Basic Parasol Base and Premium Parasol Base with Feet.
Does the basic parasol base allow the pole to swivel?No — the Basic Parasol Base does not allow the flag pole to swivel. If you need a base that allows the pole to rotate freely in the wind, choose the Premium Parasol Base with Feet instead.
Can I buy a base without ordering a flag?Yes — flag accessories can be ordered separately, whether you are replacing an existing base, adding an extra base for a second location or purchasing a carry bag for storage and transport.
Can I collect from your Brighton shop?Yes — order online and collect from our print shop at 97 St James's Street, Brighton BN2 1TP.
