Flag bases are used to position and stabilise promotional flags, including feather flags and beach flags, on different surfaces. Choose from cross bases, drive-on bases, fillable bases, base plates and ground fixings to suit your display location and flag system.
A flag base supports and stabilises a flag system at the display location. The right choice depends primarily on the type of surface, how the flag will be used and the system it will be fitted to.
This category includes eight types of bases and stabilising components: Cross Base, Square Base, Rubber Base, Drive-On Car Foot, Ground Spike, Ground Stake, Water Base and Weighting Ring. The different designs provide options for hard surfaces, use beside a vehicle and installation in soft ground.
Which flag base should you choose?
Start by considering where the flag will be positioned. A system displayed on a level surface outside a retail location or at an event requires a different base from a flag placed on grass or another soft surface.
Before ordering, check that the base is compatible with your flagpole or flag system. Not every base is suitable for every type of flag.
Flag bases for hard surfaces
Options for hard, level surfaces include the Cross Base, Square Base, Rubber Base and Water Base.
These bases differ in design and how they stabilise the system, so check the information on the relevant product page before making your choice.
Cross Base
The Cross Base is a folding cross base designed for flag systems. It is particularly useful when you need a base that is quick to set up and easy to fold down again.
Before ordering, check that the base is compatible with your flagpole and review the stabilisation requirements for your specific system.
Drive-on flag base
The Drive-On Car Foot is designed to stabilise a flag system with the help of a vehicle. It can be a suitable option when a promotional flag is displayed directly beside a car.
This type of base is useful for mobile displays, events and promotional activities held near vehicles.
Flag bases for soft ground
The Ground Spike and Ground Stake are designed for positioning flags on soft ground. Both are used to secure the system directly in the ground.
Before choosing one, consider the type of ground and check which product is compatible with your flag system.
Water Base: a fillable base
The Water Base can be filled once in position to add weight. This can be a convenient option when the flag system is regularly transported between different locations.
Detailed information about use and compatibility is available on the product page.
Weighting Ring: additional weight
The Weighting Ring adds extra weight to a compatible system. It is not a substitute for a base in every setup, so check how it should be used with your specific flag system before ordering.
Bases for feather flags and beach flags
The products in this category are used with mobile flag systems such as feather flags and beach flags. Choose a base to suit your flagpole, display location and intended use.
If you are looking for a complete system with printed graphics, see feather flags or beach flags.
What to consider when choosing a flag base
Surface type – a hard surface, soft ground or a location beside a vehicle.
Compatibility – the base should be designed for your flag system or pole.
Intended use – a fixed display or a system that will be moved frequently.
