All about container flagpoles

Container flagpoles are a popular and versatile choice for displaying flags in various settings. They’re ideal for use by housing developments prior to their main site branding being installed. It will allow passers-by to see who is behind the hoarding. Those in other industries may also choose container flagpoles as signposts. They may signal and highlight the location of office areas, security or first-aid, for example.

Where to place your container flagpole

When determining the location of your container flagpole, there are factors to consider. It needs to be positioned in the optimal place for visibility and accessibility. As with all flags and flagpoles, you should avoid placing them near obstacles including trees and other structures. This is to be mindful of maintaining the look of the flag.

Our container flagpoles

Container flagpoles from Harrison Flagpoles have specifically been designed for the construction, housebuilder and plant hire industries. Our poles are 3m white aluminium poles that are made in our custom-built facility in the UK. They are easy to install onto a standard shipping container, using our proprietary ‘twist-lock’ mechanism. A spacer can be added, when necessary, for non-standard corners such as those on modular/office spaces. The flagpoles come with a 1m swivel arm top with a white mushroom finial. This means that the information displayed on the flag will always be visible, even in low-wind conditions. These flagpoles withstand a maximum windspeed of 30mph when flagged, or 50mph when unflagged, based on a single height container. Our experienced in-house team are on-hand to help you with your container flagpole requirements.

Flying your custom flag

No container flagpole would be complete without your branded signposts displayed on custom flags, available separately. For our container flagpoles, we’d recommend a portrait design flag of approximately 2000mm (h) x 1000mm (w). Our custom flags are available either digitally printed or handsewn. The flags may be single or double-sided depending on your requirements. For both printed and handsewn options we can help with your flag artwork. If you can send your completed design, our team will ensure it meets our recommended flag artwork guidelines. We’ll then reproduce it onto your custom flag. Alternatively, if you don’t have artwork to supply, our in-house design team can help. They’ll take your idea and make it come to life. Contact us to discuss your custom flag artwork.
