Flying Colours (Flagmakers) offer bespoke flagpoles manufactured to your exact specification for a wide range of uses and sites including castle walls, stately homes, churches and stage/film sets.

ACCESSORIES

We supply accessories and spare parts for aluminium and glassfibre flagpoles, including flagpole halyard (rope), adaptation pieces and conversion kits (for example: rotating banner arms to allow flags to be flown portrait style, thereby displaying your flag in all weathers).

Our installation teams are always available to service and erect flagpoles throughout most of the UK.

ALUMINIUM FLAGPOLES

May be anodised or white powder coated and are generally recommended for smaller installations and wall mounted specifications. They may be slightly more budget friendly than alternative flagpoles and are available as standard from 1.5 metres - 10 metres in length.

BANNER BRACKETS

We supply and manufacture banner brackets for displaying PVC banners and flags to suit all applications and budgets.

Banner brackets may be wall mounted, post mounted (attached to existing lampposts or similar structures) or purpose built to be free standing. Depending on usage, brackets may be designed to a budget specification, designed for moderate usage or designed for heavy duty, for permanent display of banners in all weathers.

We recommend you contact us with your requirements, as we will be able to assist you to identify the correct product for your needs. There are so many considerations when calculating the correct size and type of banner bracket; our advice will ensure you avoid potentially costly mistakes and common pitfalls.

BANNER FRAMES

Banner frames are an excellent way to display PVC or fabric banners, avoiding the need to wrap or attach your banner to an unstable or poorly sighted fixing.

Banner frames can be positioned exactly where you would like them either outdoors or indoors, ensuring maximum exposure for your message.

They are suitable for shows, exhibitions and sporting events and dismantle easily for portability between events and for future use. They also store conveniently in their carrying bags.

We offer two types of banner frame, light duty and heavy duty. Both options are modular and can be extended or reduced in size to suit changing banner requirements merely by adding or removing components.

Banner frames are supplied complete with fastenings, components that snap together, elasticated loops to keep your banner flat and rigid, and carrying case.

BANNER POLES AND BANNER MASTS incorporating PVC banner messages

These structures are most usually manufactured from steel and are free standing permanent structures, allowing large banners to be permanently displayed with the added feature of interchangeable banners to suit your needs.

They are supplied complete with tensioning arms to avoid the banner from flapping and rippling, thereby creating a perfect impression.

We manufacture these products to accept a portrait banner which is 1 metre wide x 4 metres tall.

Banners may be displayed either side of the pole, to one side only or centrally. In most cases banners will be double sided, to ensure maximum effect and are often located at roundabouts, entrances to retail parks, and wherever permanent signage is required allowing different advertisements or information to be displayed at your will.

Please contact us for prices and technical specifications.

BEACH FLAGS AND FEATHER FLAGS

Supplied complete with aluminium or glass fibre pole and accessories.

A relatively new concept, designed in mainland Europe to create a new and exciting approach to advertising. This product has proved popular with sports companies including ski, surf, mountain bike, skateboard and other sports equipment manufacturers and promoters. Indoor and outdoor versions are also available and make excellent point of sale backdrops.

Beach flags are supplied with an aluminium pole made from 3 or 4 rigid parts which slot into each other. The flags themselves are shaped at the top and may be either 330 x 85 cms or 440 x 85 cms in size. They are manufactured from polyester cloth and printed with artwork of your choice. The pole comes complete with a shaped base which screws into soft ground, clear instructions and carrying bag. Alternative bases are available for hard ground and free standing use.

Feather flags are suitable for indoor use and come with a flexible pole manufactured from glass fibre which is fixed on to a metal foot (also supplied). The flags themselves are shaped at the top and are 180cms x 45 cms in size, manufactured from polyester (Estrella) cloth and printed with artwork of your choice.

Please view our pictures and contact us for further information. As these are a bespoke item we will require sight of your artwork in order to offer a quotation.

CEREMONIAL FLAGPOLES

Ceremonial flagpoles are used by the armed services and also by other societies and organisations, in marches and parades. They have recently become popular with registrar offices during Citizenship Ceremonies complete with a Union flag.

The poles are either 7’ or 8’ in length and are in two sections for ease of transportation, manufactured with brass joints and complete with arrowhead. There is a choice of two finishes - either mahogany or straw.

Prices start from £80.00 for a 7’ model

GLASSFIBRE FLAGPOLES

Glassfibre flagpoles are strong, lightweight and of one piece construction offering the classic look of a traditional flagpole. They are maintenence free and high white throughout with a gel coat finish to repel dirt and dust. They are well suited to unusual applications (eg castle walls) and heavy wear and come available as standard from 3 metres to 18 metres in length.

INDOOR FLAGPOLES

Used increasingly for receptions, stage presentations and Citizen Ceremonies, these aluminium flagpoles are available in either white or matt black finish and are fully rigged to display flags.

There are three flagpole sizes available, which are supplied with their corresponding bases, from single pole bases to bases that can accommodate up to five flagpoles. Flagpole sizes vary from 1.5m tall to 2.5m tall.

Prices are listed below together with extras such as gold orb finials replacing the traditional tops.

PORTABLE FLAGPOLES

These flagpoles are excellent for outdoor exhibitions, shows, promotional events and sporting events.

All components are interchangeable, and may be used whether you are exhibiting on soft ground, hard ground, motor dealership forecourts or even for mounting on exhibition trailers, hospitality units and catering units. They are quick to assemble as each section is 5’ in length with overall length usually varying from 15’ to 30’.

Rotating arms are also available to permanently display portrait style flags whatever the wind conditions maximising your advertising in calm weather.

Each unit is supplied fully complete and ready to fly your flag and is stored in a robust carry bag.
