3.2m Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base and Custom Print

A branded forecourt is a selling forecourt. The 3.2m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Drive-On Base delivers visual authority at the boundary of your showroom without drilling into the tarmac, bolting fixtures to the ground or leaving any permanent mark on the surface. The steel drive-on base sits flat on any hard surface and anchors under the wheel of a display vehicle. One tyre, one base, one flag. No fixings, no adhesive, no footprint when the flag moves. The flag is up in under two minutes and comes down just as fast, which means your forecourt branding adapts to every promotion, every sale event and every new vehicle launch without infrastructure changes.

At 3.2 metres tall and 3.4kg total kit weight, the feather flag rises above the roofline of saloons and hatchbacks, catching the eye of passing traffic from both directions before they reach your entrance. The glass fibre pole flexes in wind rather than resisting it, absorbing gusts up to 45km/h and returning to shape without stressing the base, the vehicle or the pole itself. Glass fibre is paintwork-safe. It will not scratch, chip or mark the bodywork of the vehicle it sits beside, which is a critical distinction from rigid aluminium or steel poles on a showroom floor.

Engineered for Forecourt Conditions

  • Drive-on steel base for zero-footprint anchoring: The flat steel base plate sits on tarmac, concrete or paving and locks in place under a vehicle wheel. No drilling, no bolts, no adhesive, no permanent modification to the forecourt surface. When the flag moves, the surface underneath is untouched. Ideal for leased forecourts, shared business parks and any site where permanent fixtures are not permitted.
  • Glass fibre pole (paintwork-safe): High-performance composite that flexes under wind load and returns to shape. Unlike rigid aluminium or steel poles, glass fibre will not scratch, chip or mark vehicle paintwork if the flag moves in wind. On a showroom forecourt where every vehicle is a high-value asset, the pole material matters as much as the stability of the base.
  • 45km/h wind rating with aerodynamic resilience: The glass fibre pole absorbs wind energy rather than transferring it to the base and the vehicle. The Aero-Light single-sided print reduces flag weight and wind load, keeping the display responsive and upright in the exposed, open-air conditions that every forecourt operates in.
  • 3.2m height for roofline-clearing visibility: Rises above the roofline of saloons, hatchbacks and most crossovers. Passing traffic sees your branding before they see the vehicles, which means the flag is doing its job as a roadside attractor before the customer has even turned onto the forecourt.
  • Aero-Light single-sided print on polyester: Full-colour dye-sublimation printing infused into the fabric. The single-sided construction keeps the flag aerodynamically responsive and the feather shape defined in gusting conditions. Show-through on the reverse provides branded visibility from both approach directions.
  • Under two minutes setup by one person: Pole sections slot together, flag slides on, base sits flat, vehicle parks over it. One member of the sales team can have the flag up before the showroom opens and packed away after the last customer leaves. The complete kit weighs 3.4kg and fits in the included soft carry bag.
  • Soft carry bag included: The pole, flag and base pack into a compact bag for storage between promotions, transport between sites or handover to a different branch. At 3.4kg, the entire kit moves in one hand.
  • Custom full-colour printing included: Your artwork is printed in full colour and included in the price. Artwork template provided within 24 hours. Our team reviews every file for colour accuracy before production begins.

Forecourt and Automotive Applications

New and Used Car Dealership Forecourts Line the forecourt boundary with branded flags that catch passing traffic from both directions. The drive-on base anchors under display vehicles already in position, so the flags integrate into the existing layout without rearranging stock or drilling into the surface.
Sales Events, Launch Days and Clearance Weekends Deploy branded flags for a weekend event and remove them on Monday morning with zero trace. The drive-on base means the forecourt returns to its standard layout the moment the vehicle moves. No fixtures to unbolt, no holes to fill, no surface damage.
Motorcycle Dealerships and Specialist Showrooms The glass fibre pole is paintwork-safe, which matters in environments surrounded by high-value, exposed bodywork. The 3.2m height provides sightline dominance without the visual weight of a rigid flagpole installation.
Multi-Brand Franchise Forecourts Different flags for different brands, different campaigns, different areas of the forecourt. The drive-on base makes each flag independently positionable and repositionable without any shared infrastructure. Swap flags between zones as stock changes.
Valeting Bays, Service Centres and Bodyshops Mark the customer entrance, the collection area or a promotional zone with branded visibility that does not interfere with vehicle movement, workshop access or surface drainage.
Caravan, Motorhome and Commercial Vehicle Sites Larger vehicles create sightline challenges. The 3.2m flag rises above van rooflines and caravan profiles to maintain branded visibility across expansive open-air display areas. For maximum height, the 5m version clears the roofline of every standard vehicle on the road.

The Displaysense 3.2m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base inc. Graphic Printing is a professional outdoor feather flag kit with a multi-section glass fibre pole, flexible GRP whip, single-sided full-colour dye-sublimation printed polyester flag and steel drive-on car base for hard surfaces. Total height: 3200mm. Total kit weight: 3.4kg. Wind rated to 45km/h. Glass fibre pole is paintwork-safe. Drive-on base anchors under a vehicle wheel with no drilling or permanent fixings. Tool-free assembly by one person in under 2 minutes. Soft carry bag included. Custom printing included. Artwork template within 24 hours. 3 to 5 working days production from artwork approval. Also available in 2.3m and 5m heights, with ground spike base, and in teardrop shape. Suitable for car dealerships, motorcycle showrooms, forecourt sales events, vehicle service centres, caravan sites and multi-brand franchise sites. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.

Every dealership manager knows the problem. The forecourt needs branded signage that catches traffic from the road, but the surface cannot be drilled, the landlord will not allow permanent fixtures and anything left freestanding on tarmac either blows over or gets in the way of vehicle movements. The drive-on base solves all three. It sits flat on the ground, locks under the wheel of a display vehicle already in position and holds the full 3.2m flag in wind speeds up to 45km/h. When the flag needs to move, the vehicle drives off, the base lifts, and the surface underneath is unmarked. Zero footprint. Zero compromise.

The glass fibre pole is the right material for an environment surrounded by high-value paintwork. Rigid aluminium and steel poles can scratch, chip and mark bodywork if the wind moves them into contact with a vehicle. Glass fibre flexes away from contact rather than into it, and the composite surface will not abrade paint or lacquer even in sustained proximity. On a forecourt where a single scratch on a bonnet can cost more than the flag itself, that material choice is not a detail. It is a requirement.

The Aero-Light single-sided print keeps the flag responsive in the open, exposed conditions that every forecourt operates in. A heavier double-sided flag with an internal blackout liner catches more wind, loads more stress onto the pole and the base, and hangs flat in calm conditions rather than maintaining the feather shape. The single-sided construction keeps the display in motion, keeps the shape defined and keeps the pole working within its designed flex range across the full day, every day, for the duration of the campaign.

At 3.4kg, the entire kit fits in the included soft carry bag. One member of the sales team can carry it from the office to the forecourt, have the flag up in under two minutes and store it away at the end of the day. For dealership groups running the same promotion across multiple sites, the kits move between branches in the boot of a courtesy car.

Specification Detail What This Means for You
Total Height 3200mm Clears the roofline of saloons, hatchbacks and most crossovers. Passing traffic sees your branding above the vehicle line before they reach the forecourt entrance. For SUV and commercial vehicle sites, the 5m version provides industry-leading roadside clearance.
Flag Shape Feather The elongated, curved feather profile maximises branded surface area and catches wind from any direction. Continuous motion draws the eye more effectively than a static sign, signalling that the forecourt is active and open for business.
Base Type Steel drive-on car base Sits flat on tarmac, concrete or paving. Anchors under a vehicle wheel with no drilling, no bolts and no adhesive. When the flag moves, the surface is unmarked. Zero footprint. Approved for leased sites, shared business parks and any forecourt where permanent fixtures are not permitted.
Pole Material Multi-section glass fibre with GRP whip Paintwork-safe composite that flexes under wind load and returns to shape. Will not scratch, chip or mark vehicle bodywork. Unlike rigid aluminium or steel poles that transfer energy to the base and can damage adjacent vehicles, glass fibre absorbs wind energy and flexes away from contact.
Wind Rating Up to 45km/h Rated for the open, exposed conditions that every forecourt operates in. The glass fibre pole and Aero-Light print manage wind load aerodynamically rather than resisting it, protecting both the display and the vehicles around it.
Print Type Aero-Light single-sided, full-colour dye-sublimation Ink infused into polyester fibres for vivid, durable colour. Single-sided construction reduces flag weight and wind load, keeping the feather shape defined and the pole working within its designed flex range.

Questions About the 3.2m Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base

Q: How does the drive-on base work?

A: The flat steel base plate sits on tarmac, concrete or paving. You drive a vehicle wheel directly over it and the weight of the vehicle anchors the flag in position. No drilling, no bolts, no adhesive, no permanent modification to the forecourt surface. When the vehicle moves, the base lifts off and the surface underneath is unmarked.

Q: Will the flag or pole scratch vehicle paintwork?

A: No. The pole is glass fibre, a composite material that flexes away from contact rather than into it. Unlike rigid aluminium or steel poles, glass fibre will not scratch, chip or mark vehicle paintwork even in sustained proximity. On a forecourt surrounded by high-value vehicles, this is a critical safety specification.

Q: Will the drive-on base damage the tarmac or forecourt surface?

A: No. The steel base sits flat on the surface and is held in place by the weight of the vehicle, not by fixings or adhesive. When the base is removed, there is no mark, no residue and no damage. This makes it suitable for leased forecourts, shared business parks and any site where permanent modifications are not allowed.

Q: How much wind can this flag handle on an exposed forecourt?

A: The system is rated to 45km/h (approximately 28mph). The glass fibre pole absorbs wind energy by flexing rather than resisting, which protects the pole, the base and the vehicles nearby. In severe weather or storm conditions, we recommend taking the flag down as a precaution.

Q: Is the 3.2m height enough to be seen from the road?

A: Yes for most forecourts. At 3.2 metres, the flag clears the roofline of saloons, hatchbacks and most crossovers. For sites that sell SUVs, vans, motorhomes or commercial vehicles, the 5m version provides industry-leading height that clears every standard vehicle roofline on the road.

Q: Why is the flag single-sided rather than double-sided?

A: The Aero-Light single-sided construction is an aerodynamic performance choice for outdoor forecourt conditions. A double-sided flag with a blackout liner is heavier, catches more wind and loads more stress onto the pole and the base. The single-sided print keeps the flag responsive, the feather shape defined and the pole within its designed flex range. Show-through on the reverse gives branded visibility from both approach directions.

Q: How quickly can one person set this up on the forecourt?

A: Under two minutes. Pole sections slot together, flag slides on, base sits flat on the surface, vehicle parks a wheel over it. The complete kit weighs 3.4kg and arrives in a soft carry bag. One member of the sales team can deploy it before the showroom opens.

Q: Can I use the same pole and base with different printed flags?

A: Yes. The glass fibre pole and drive-on base are designed for long-term reuse across manufacturer promotions, seasonal campaigns and brand refreshes. When the graphic changes, the flag can be replaced without buying new hardware. Contact our team to find out more about replacement flag options.

Q: Can I deploy multiple flags across a forecourt perimeter?

A: Yes. Each flag kit is independent. Position them along the forecourt boundary, at the entrance, beside feature vehicles or at the road frontage. Each one anchors under a different vehicle wheel, so the layout follows the stock arrangement rather than requiring a fixed infrastructure. Contact our team for multi-unit pricing and coordinated artwork.

Q: What other flag heights and base types are available?

A: The feather flag is available in 2.3m, 3.2m and 5m heights with the drive-on car base. A ground spike base is available for grass perimeters and verge-side positions. A teardrop shape offers a wider, more rounded profile. All use the same glass fibre pole construction and are rated to 45km/h.

Forecourt Branding, Outdoor Signage and Automotive Display Guides

The flag gets drivers to notice your forecourt. How the site looks when they arrive and how the branding fits into the wider showroom experience determines whether they stop, browse and buy. These guides cover signage strategy, retail branding and practical approaches to making your outdoor presence convert passing traffic into customers.

Overview

3.2m Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base and Custom Print

A branded forecourt is a selling forecourt. The 3.2m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Drive-On Base delivers visual authority at the boundary of your showroom without drilling into the tarmac, bolting fixtures to the ground or leaving any permanent mark on the surface. The steel drive-on base sits flat on any hard surface and anchors under the wheel of a display vehicle. One tyre, one base, one flag. No fixings, no adhesive, no footprint when the flag moves. The flag is up in under two minutes and comes down just as fast, which means your forecourt branding adapts to every promotion, every sale event and every new vehicle launch without infrastructure changes.

At 3.2 metres tall and 3.4kg total kit weight, the feather flag rises above the roofline of saloons and hatchbacks, catching the eye of passing traffic from both directions before they reach your entrance. The glass fibre pole flexes in wind rather than resisting it, absorbing gusts up to 45km/h and returning to shape without stressing the base, the vehicle or the pole itself. Glass fibre is paintwork-safe. It will not scratch, chip or mark the bodywork of the vehicle it sits beside, which is a critical distinction from rigid aluminium or steel poles on a showroom floor.

No drilling, no bolts, no adhesive, no permanent modification to the forecourt surface. When the flag moves, the surface underneath is untouched. Ideal for leased forecourts, shared business parks and any site where permanent fixtures are not permitted.
  • Glass fibre pole (paintwork-safe): High-performance composite that flexes under wind load and returns to shape.

  • 3.2m height for roofline-clearing visibility: Rises above the roofline of saloons, hatchbacks and most crossovers. Passing traffic sees your branding before they see the vehicles, which means the flag is doing its job as a roadside attractor before the customer has even turned onto the forecourt.
  • Aero-Light single-sided print on polyester: Full-colour dye-sublimation printing infused into the fabric.

Show-through on the reverse provides branded visibility from both approach directions.
  • Under two minutes setup by one person: Pole sections slot together, flag slides on, base sits flat, vehicle parks over it. One member of the sales team can have the flag up before the showroom opens and packed away after the last customer leaves. The complete kit weighs 3.4kg and fits in the included soft carry bag.

Multi-Brand Franchise Forecourts Different flags for different brands, different campaigns, different areas of the forecourt. The drive-on base makes each flag independently positionable and repositionable without any shared infrastructure. Swap flags between zones as stock changes.
Valeting Bays, Service Centres and Bodyshops Mark the customer entrance, the collection area or a promotional zone with branded visibility that does not interfere with vehicle movement, workshop access or surface drainage.
Caravan, Motorhome and Commercial Vehicle Sites Larger vehicles create sightline challenges. The 3.2m flag rises above van rooflines and caravan profiles to maintain branded visibility across expansive open-air display areas. For maximum height, the 5m version clears the roofline of every standard vehicle on the road.

Description

Every dealership manager knows the problem. The forecourt needs branded signage that catches traffic from the road, but the surface cannot be drilled, the landlord will not allow permanent fixtures and anything left freestanding on tarmac either blows over or gets in the way of vehicle movements. The drive-on base solves all three. It sits flat on the ground, locks under the wheel of a display vehicle already in position and holds the full 3.2m flag in wind speeds up to 45km/h. When the flag needs to move, the vehicle drives off, the base lifts, and the surface underneath is unmarked. Zero footprint. Zero compromise.

The glass fibre pole is the right material for an environment surrounded by high-value paintwork. Rigid aluminium and steel poles can scratch, chip and mark bodywork if the wind moves them into contact with a vehicle. Glass fibre flexes away from contact rather than into it, and the composite surface will not abrade paint or lacquer even in sustained proximity. On a forecourt where a single scratch on a bonnet can cost more than the flag itself, that material choice is not a detail. It is a requirement.

The Aero-Light single-sided print keeps the flag responsive in the open, exposed conditions that every forecourt operates in. A heavier double-sided flag with an internal blackout liner catches more wind, loads more stress onto the pole and the base, and hangs flat in calm conditions rather than maintaining the feather shape. The single-sided construction keeps the display in motion, keeps the shape defined and keeps the pole working within its designed flex range across the full day, every day, for the duration of the campaign.

At 3.4kg, the entire kit fits in the included soft carry bag. One member of the sales team can carry it from the office to the forecourt, have the flag up in under two minutes and store it away at the end of the day. For dealership groups running the same promotion across multiple sites, the kits move between branches in the boot of a courtesy car.

FAQs

Questions About the 3.2m Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base

Q: How does the drive-on base work?

A: The flat steel base plate sits on tarmac, concrete or paving. You drive a vehicle wheel directly over it and the weight of the vehicle anchors the flag in position. No drilling, no bolts, no adhesive, no permanent modification to the forecourt surface. When the vehicle moves, the base lifts off and the surface underneath is unmarked.

Q: Will the flag or pole scratch vehicle paintwork?

A: No. The pole is glass fibre, a composite material that flexes away from contact rather than into it. Unlike rigid aluminium or steel poles, glass fibre will not scratch, chip or mark vehicle paintwork even in sustained proximity. On a forecourt surrounded by high-value vehicles, this is a critical safety specification.

Q: Will the drive-on base damage the tarmac or forecourt surface?

A: No. The steel base sits flat on the surface and is held in place by the weight of the vehicle, not by fixings or adhesive. When the base is removed, there is no mark, no residue and no damage. This makes it suitable for leased forecourts, shared business parks and any site where permanent modifications are not allowed.

Q: How much wind can this flag handle on an exposed forecourt?

A: The system is rated to 45km/h (approximately 28mph). The glass fibre pole absorbs wind energy by flexing rather than resisting, which protects the pole, the base and the vehicles nearby. In severe weather or storm conditions, we recommend taking the flag down as a precaution.

Q: Is the 3.2m height enough to be seen from the road?

A: Yes for most forecourts. At 3.2 metres, the flag clears the roofline of saloons, hatchbacks and most crossovers. For sites that sell SUVs, vans, motorhomes or commercial vehicles, the 5m version provides industry-leading height that clears every standard vehicle roofline on the road.

Q: Why is the flag single-sided rather than double-sided?

A: The Aero-Light single-sided construction is an aerodynamic performance choice for outdoor forecourt conditions. A double-sided flag with a blackout liner is heavier, catches more wind and loads more stress onto the pole and the base. The single-sided print keeps the flag responsive, the feather shape defined and the pole within its designed flex range. Show-through on the reverse gives branded visibility from both approach directions.

Q: How quickly can one person set this up on the forecourt?

A: Under two minutes. Pole sections slot together, flag slides on, base sits flat on the surface, vehicle parks a wheel over it. The complete kit weighs 3.4kg and arrives in a soft carry bag. One member of the sales team can deploy it before the showroom opens.

Q: Can I use the same pole and base with different printed flags?

A: Yes. The glass fibre pole and drive-on base are designed for long-term reuse across manufacturer promotions, seasonal campaigns and brand refreshes. When the graphic changes, the flag can be replaced without buying new hardware. Contact our team to find out more about replacement flag options.

Q: Can I deploy multiple flags across a forecourt perimeter?

A: Yes. Each flag kit is independent. Position them along the forecourt boundary, at the entrance, beside feature vehicles or at the road frontage. Each one anchors under a different vehicle wheel, so the layout follows the stock arrangement rather than requiring a fixed infrastructure. Contact our team for multi-unit pricing and coordinated artwork.

Q: What other flag heights and base types are available?

A: The feather flag is available in 2.3m, 3.2m and 5m heights with the drive-on car base. A ground spike base is available for grass perimeters and verge-side positions. A teardrop shape offers a wider, more rounded profile. All use the same glass fibre pole construction and are rated to 45km/h.

3.2m Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base and Custom Print

A branded forecourt is a selling forecourt. The 3.2m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Drive-On Base delivers visual authority at the boundary of your showroom without drilling into the tarmac, bolting fixtures to the ground or leaving any permanent mark on the surface. The steel drive-on base sits flat on any hard surface and anchors under the wheel of a display vehicle. One tyre, one base, one flag. No fixings, no adhesive, no footprint when the flag moves. The flag is up in under two minutes and comes down just as fast, which means your forecourt branding adapts to every promotion, every sale event and every new vehicle launch without infrastructure changes.

At 3.2 metres tall and 3.4kg total kit weight, the feather flag rises above the roofline of saloons and hatchbacks, catching the eye of passing traffic from both directions before they reach your entrance. The glass fibre pole flexes in wind rather than resisting it, absorbing gusts up to 45km/h and returning to shape without stressing the base, the vehicle or the pole itself. Glass fibre is paintwork-safe. It will not scratch, chip or mark the bodywork of the vehicle it sits beside, which is a critical distinction from rigid aluminium or steel poles on a showroom floor.

Engineered for Forecourt Conditions

  • Drive-on steel base for zero-footprint anchoring: The flat steel base plate sits on tarmac, concrete or paving and locks in place under a vehicle wheel. No drilling, no bolts, no adhesive, no permanent modification to the forecourt surface. When the flag moves, the surface underneath is untouched. Ideal for leased forecourts, shared business parks and any site where permanent fixtures are not permitted.
  • Glass fibre pole (paintwork-safe): High-performance composite that flexes under wind load and returns to shape. Unlike rigid aluminium or steel poles, glass fibre will not scratch, chip or mark vehicle paintwork if the flag moves in wind. On a showroom forecourt where every vehicle is a high-value asset, the pole material matters as much as the stability of the base.
  • 45km/h wind rating with aerodynamic resilience: The glass fibre pole absorbs wind energy rather than transferring it to the base and the vehicle. The Aero-Light single-sided print reduces flag weight and wind load, keeping the display responsive and upright in the exposed, open-air conditions that every forecourt operates in.
  • 3.2m height for roofline-clearing visibility: Rises above the roofline of saloons, hatchbacks and most crossovers. Passing traffic sees your branding before they see the vehicles, which means the flag is doing its job as a roadside attractor before the customer has even turned onto the forecourt.
  • Aero-Light single-sided print on polyester: Full-colour dye-sublimation printing infused into the fabric. The single-sided construction keeps the flag aerodynamically responsive and the feather shape defined in gusting conditions. Show-through on the reverse provides branded visibility from both approach directions.
  • Under two minutes setup by one person: Pole sections slot together, flag slides on, base sits flat, vehicle parks over it. One member of the sales team can have the flag up before the showroom opens and packed away after the last customer leaves. The complete kit weighs 3.4kg and fits in the included soft carry bag.
  • Soft carry bag included: The pole, flag and base pack into a compact bag for storage between promotions, transport between sites or handover to a different branch. At 3.4kg, the entire kit moves in one hand.
  • Custom full-colour printing included: Your artwork is printed in full colour and included in the price. Artwork template provided within 24 hours. Our team reviews every file for colour accuracy before production begins.

Forecourt and Automotive Applications

New and Used Car Dealership Forecourts Line the forecourt boundary with branded flags that catch passing traffic from both directions. The drive-on base anchors under display vehicles already in position, so the flags integrate into the existing layout without rearranging stock or drilling into the surface.
Sales Events, Launch Days and Clearance Weekends Deploy branded flags for a weekend event and remove them on Monday morning with zero trace. The drive-on base means the forecourt returns to its standard layout the moment the vehicle moves. No fixtures to unbolt, no holes to fill, no surface damage.
Motorcycle Dealerships and Specialist Showrooms The glass fibre pole is paintwork-safe, which matters in environments surrounded by high-value, exposed bodywork. The 3.2m height provides sightline dominance without the visual weight of a rigid flagpole installation.
Multi-Brand Franchise Forecourts Different flags for different brands, different campaigns, different areas of the forecourt. The drive-on base makes each flag independently positionable and repositionable without any shared infrastructure. Swap flags between zones as stock changes.
Valeting Bays, Service Centres and Bodyshops Mark the customer entrance, the collection area or a promotional zone with branded visibility that does not interfere with vehicle movement, workshop access or surface drainage.
Caravan, Motorhome and Commercial Vehicle Sites Larger vehicles create sightline challenges. The 3.2m flag rises above van rooflines and caravan profiles to maintain branded visibility across expansive open-air display areas. For maximum height, the 5m version clears the roofline of every standard vehicle on the road.

How the Ordering and Print Process Works

  1. Place your order for the 3.2m feather flag with drive-on car base and custom print.
  2. We email you a personalised artwork template within 24 hours with sizing and bleed guidelines.
  3. You complete your design and send it back.
  4. Our print team reviews the artwork for colour accuracy and layout before production.
  5. Production takes 3 to 5 working days from artwork approval. Your complete kit is dispatched ready to deploy.

You do not need finished artwork before ordering. The template makes the process straightforward, and our team checks everything before printing begins.

This flag is also available in 2.3m for close-range entrance branding and 5m for maximum roadside dominance that clears the roofline of SUVs and commercial vehicles. For multi-flag forecourt installations, contact our team for coordinated artwork and volume pricing.

The Displaysense 3.2m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base inc. Graphic Printing is a professional outdoor feather flag kit with a multi-section glass fibre pole, flexible GRP whip, single-sided full-colour dye-sublimation printed polyester flag and steel drive-on car base for hard surfaces. Total height: 3200mm. Total kit weight: 3.4kg. Wind rated to 45km/h. Glass fibre pole is paintwork-safe. Drive-on base anchors under a vehicle wheel with no drilling or permanent fixings. Tool-free assembly by one person in under 2 minutes. Soft carry bag included. Custom printing included. Artwork template within 24 hours. 3 to 5 working days production from artwork approval. Also available in 2.3m and 5m heights, with ground spike base, and in teardrop shape. Suitable for car dealerships, motorcycle showrooms, forecourt sales events, vehicle service centres, caravan sites and multi-brand franchise sites. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.

Every dealership manager knows the problem. The forecourt needs branded signage that catches traffic from the road, but the surface cannot be drilled, the landlord will not allow permanent fixtures and anything left freestanding on tarmac either blows over or gets in the way of vehicle movements. The drive-on base solves all three. It sits flat on the ground, locks under the wheel of a display vehicle already in position and holds the full 3.2m flag in wind speeds up to 45km/h. When the flag needs to move, the vehicle drives off, the base lifts, and the surface underneath is unmarked. Zero footprint. Zero compromise.

The glass fibre pole is the right material for an environment surrounded by high-value paintwork. Rigid aluminium and steel poles can scratch, chip and mark bodywork if the wind moves them into contact with a vehicle. Glass fibre flexes away from contact rather than into it, and the composite surface will not abrade paint or lacquer even in sustained proximity. On a forecourt where a single scratch on a bonnet can cost more than the flag itself, that material choice is not a detail. It is a requirement.

The Aero-Light single-sided print keeps the flag responsive in the open, exposed conditions that every forecourt operates in. A heavier double-sided flag with an internal blackout liner catches more wind, loads more stress onto the pole and the base, and hangs flat in calm conditions rather than maintaining the feather shape. The single-sided construction keeps the display in motion, keeps the shape defined and keeps the pole working within its designed flex range across the full day, every day, for the duration of the campaign.

At 3.4kg, the entire kit fits in the included soft carry bag. One member of the sales team can carry it from the office to the forecourt, have the flag up in under two minutes and store it away at the end of the day. For dealership groups running the same promotion across multiple sites, the kits move between branches in the boot of a courtesy car.

Overview

3.2m Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base and Custom Print

A branded forecourt is a selling forecourt. The 3.2m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Drive-On Base delivers visual authority at the boundary of your showroom without drilling into the tarmac, bolting fixtures to the ground or leaving any permanent mark on the surface. The steel drive-on base sits flat on any hard surface and anchors under the wheel of a display vehicle. One tyre, one base, one flag. No fixings, no adhesive, no footprint when the flag moves. The flag is up in under two minutes and comes down just as fast, which means your forecourt branding adapts to every promotion, every sale event and every new vehicle launch without infrastructure changes.

At 3.2 metres tall and 3.4kg total kit weight, the feather flag rises above the roofline of saloons and hatchbacks, catching the eye of passing traffic from both directions before they reach your entrance. The glass fibre pole flexes in wind rather than resisting it, absorbing gusts up to 45km/h and returning to shape without stressing the base, the vehicle or the pole itself. Glass fibre is paintwork-safe. It will not scratch, chip or mark the bodywork of the vehicle it sits beside, which is a critical distinction from rigid aluminium or steel poles on a showroom floor.

No drilling, no bolts, no adhesive, no permanent modification to the forecourt surface. When the flag moves, the surface underneath is untouched.

Passing traffic sees your branding before they see the vehicles, which means the flag is doing its job as a roadside attractor before the customer has even turned onto the forecourt.
  • Aero-Light single-sided print on polyester: Full-colour dye-sublimation printing infused into the fabric.

Show-through on the reverse provides branded visibility from both approach directions.
  • Under two minutes setup by one person: Pole sections slot together, flag slides on, base sits flat, vehicle parks over it. One member of the sales team can have the flag up before the showroom opens and packed away after the last customer leaves. The complete kit weighs 3.4kg and fits in the included soft carry bag.

  • Custom full-colour printing included: Your artwork is printed in full colour and included in the price. Artwork template provided within 24 hours. Our team reviews every file for colour accuracy before production begins.

Forecourt and Automotive Applications

New and Used Car Dealership Forecourts Line the forecourt boundary with branded flags that catch passing traffic from both directions. The drive-on base anchors under display vehicles already in position, so the flags integrate into the existing layout without rearranging stock or drilling into the surface.
Sales Events, Launch Days and Clearance Weekends Deploy branded flags for a weekend event and remove them on Monday morning with zero trace. The drive-on base means the forecourt returns to its standard layout the moment the vehicle moves. No fixtures to unbolt, no holes to fill, no surface damage.
Motorcycle Dealerships and Specialist Showrooms The glass fibre pole is paintwork-safe, which matters in environments surrounded by high-value, exposed bodywork. The 3.2m height provides sightline dominance without the visual weight of a rigid flagpole installation.
Multi-Brand Franchise Forecourts Different flags for different brands, different campaigns, different areas of the forecourt. The drive-on base makes each flag independently positionable and repositionable without any shared infrastructure. Swap flags between zones as stock changes.
Valeting Bays, Service Centres and Bodyshops Mark the customer entrance, the collection area or a promotional zone with branded visibility that does not interfere with vehicle movement, workshop access or surface drainage.
Caravan, Motorhome and Commercial Vehicle Sites Larger vehicles create sightline challenges. The 3.2m flag rises above van rooflines and caravan profiles to maintain branded visibility across expansive open-air display areas. For maximum height, the 5m version clears the roofline of every standard vehicle on the road.

  1. Place your order for the 3.2m feather flag with drive-on car base and custom print.
  2. We email you a personalised artwork template within 24 hours with sizing and bleed guidelines.
  3. You complete your design and send it back.
  4. Our print team reviews the artwork for colour accuracy and layout before production.
  5. Production takes 3 to 5 working days from artwork approval. Your complete kit is dispatched ready to deploy.

You do not need finished artwork before ordering. The template makes the process straightforward, and our team checks everything before printing begins.

Description

Every dealership manager knows the problem. The forecourt needs branded signage that catches traffic from the road, but the surface cannot be drilled, the landlord will not allow permanent fixtures and anything left freestanding on tarmac either blows over or gets in the way of vehicle movements. The drive-on base solves all three. It sits flat on the ground, locks under the wheel of a display vehicle already in position and holds the full 3.2m flag in wind speeds up to 45km/h. When the flag needs to move, the vehicle drives off, the base lifts, and the surface underneath is unmarked. Zero footprint. Zero compromise.

The glass fibre pole is the right material for an environment surrounded by high-value paintwork. Rigid aluminium and steel poles can scratch, chip and mark bodywork if the wind moves them into contact with a vehicle. Glass fibre flexes away from contact rather than into it, and the composite surface will not abrade paint or lacquer even in sustained proximity. On a forecourt where a single scratch on a bonnet can cost more than the flag itself, that material choice is not a detail. It is a requirement.

The Aero-Light single-sided print keeps the flag responsive in the open, exposed conditions that every forecourt operates in. A heavier double-sided flag with an internal blackout liner catches more wind, loads more stress onto the pole and the base, and hangs flat in calm conditions rather than maintaining the feather shape. The single-sided construction keeps the display in motion, keeps the shape defined and keeps the pole working within its designed flex range across the full day, every day, for the duration of the campaign.

At 3.4kg, the entire kit fits in the included soft carry bag. One member of the sales team can carry it from the office to the forecourt, have the flag up in under two minutes and store it away at the end of the day. For dealership groups running the same promotion across multiple sites, the kits move between branches in the boot of a courtesy car.

Specification Detail What This Means for You
Total Height 3200mm Clears the roofline of saloons, hatchbacks and most crossovers. Passing traffic sees your branding above the vehicle line before they reach the forecourt entrance. For SUV and commercial vehicle sites, the 5m version provides industry-leading roadside clearance.
Flag Shape Feather The elongated, curved feather profile maximises branded surface area and catches wind from any direction. Continuous motion draws the eye more effectively than a static sign, signalling that the forecourt is active and open for business.
Base Type Steel drive-on car base Sits flat on tarmac, concrete or paving. Anchors under a vehicle wheel with no drilling, no bolts and no adhesive. When the flag moves, the surface is unmarked. Zero footprint. Approved for leased sites, shared business parks and any forecourt where permanent fixtures are not permitted.
Pole Material Multi-section glass fibre with GRP whip Paintwork-safe composite that flexes under wind load and returns to shape. Will not scratch, chip or mark vehicle bodywork. Unlike rigid aluminium or steel poles that transfer energy to the base and can damage adjacent vehicles, glass fibre absorbs wind energy and flexes away from contact.
Wind Rating Up to 45km/h Rated for the open, exposed conditions that every forecourt operates in. The glass fibre pole and Aero-Light print manage wind load aerodynamically rather than resisting it, protecting both the display and the vehicles around it.
Print Type Aero-Light single-sided, full-colour dye-sublimation Ink infused into polyester fibres for vivid, durable colour. Single-sided construction reduces flag weight and wind load, keeping the feather shape defined and the pole working within its designed flex range. Show-through on the reverse provides branded visibility from both approach directions.
Total Kit Weight 3.4kg The complete kit including pole, flag, drive-on base and carry bag weighs 3.4kg. One person carries it from the office to the forecourt in one hand. For dealership groups, kits transfer between branches in the boot of a courtesy car.
Assembly Tool-free, one person, under 2 minutes Pole sections slot together, flag slides on, base sits flat, vehicle parks over it. One member of the sales team can deploy the flag before the showroom opens and store it after the last customer leaves.
Carry Bag Soft carry bag included Pole, flag and base pack into a compact bag for storage and transport. Keeps all components together between promotions, sales events and site transfers.
Printing Included Yes, custom full-colour print in the price Your artwork is printed onto the flag and included. Template within 24 hours. Our team reviews every file before production. No hidden print charges.
Production Time 3 to 5 working days from artwork approval Precision colour matching and quality checks before dispatch. Your brand colours arrive accurate and consistent across every flag in a multi-unit order.
Replacement Graphics Available on request The pole and base are designed for long-term reuse across seasonal campaigns, manufacturer promotions and brand refreshes. When the graphic changes, the flag can be replaced without buying new hardware. Contact our team to find out more.
Also Available In 2.3m and 5m heights, ground spike base, teardrop shape Shorter flags for entrance branding. The 5m for maximum roadside dominance. Ground spike base for grass perimeters. Teardrop shape for a wider, more rounded profile. All use the same glass fibre pole construction.

FAQs

Questions About the 3.2m Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base

Q: How does the drive-on base work?

A: The flat steel base plate sits on tarmac, concrete or paving. You drive a vehicle wheel directly over it and the weight of the vehicle anchors the flag in position. No drilling, no bolts, no adhesive, no permanent modification to the forecourt surface. When the vehicle moves, the base lifts off and the surface underneath is unmarked.

Q: Will the flag or pole scratch vehicle paintwork?

A: No. The pole is glass fibre, a composite material that flexes away from contact rather than into it. Unlike rigid aluminium or steel poles, glass fibre will not scratch, chip or mark vehicle paintwork even in sustained proximity. On a forecourt surrounded by high-value vehicles, this is a critical safety specification.

Q: Will the drive-on base damage the tarmac or forecourt surface?

A: No. The steel base sits flat on the surface and is held in place by the weight of the vehicle, not by fixings or adhesive. When the base is removed, there is no mark, no residue and no damage. This makes it suitable for leased forecourts, shared business parks and any site where permanent modifications are not allowed.

Q: How much wind can this flag handle on an exposed forecourt?

A: The system is rated to 45km/h (approximately 28mph). The glass fibre pole absorbs wind energy by flexing rather than resisting, which protects the pole, the base and the vehicles nearby. In severe weather or storm conditions, we recommend taking the flag down as a precaution.

Q: Is the 3.2m height enough to be seen from the road?

A: Yes for most forecourts. At 3.2 metres, the flag clears the roofline of saloons, hatchbacks and most crossovers. For sites that sell SUVs, vans, motorhomes or commercial vehicles, the 5m version provides industry-leading height that clears every standard vehicle roofline on the road.

Q: Why is the flag single-sided rather than double-sided?

A: The Aero-Light single-sided construction is an aerodynamic performance choice for outdoor forecourt conditions. A double-sided flag with a blackout liner is heavier, catches more wind and loads more stress onto the pole and the base. The single-sided print keeps the flag responsive, the feather shape defined and the pole within its designed flex range. Show-through on the reverse gives branded visibility from both approach directions.

Q: How quickly can one person set this up on the forecourt?

A: Under two minutes. Pole sections slot together, flag slides on, base sits flat on the surface, vehicle parks a wheel over it. The complete kit weighs 3.4kg and arrives in a soft carry bag. One member of the sales team can deploy it before the showroom opens.

Q: Can I use the same pole and base with different printed flags?

A: Yes. The glass fibre pole and drive-on base are designed for long-term reuse across manufacturer promotions, seasonal campaigns and brand refreshes. When the graphic changes, the flag can be replaced without buying new hardware. Contact our team to find out more about replacement flag options.

Q: Can I deploy multiple flags across a forecourt perimeter?

A: Yes. Each flag kit is independent. Position them along the forecourt boundary, at the entrance, beside feature vehicles or at the road frontage. Each one anchors under a different vehicle wheel, so the layout follows the stock arrangement rather than requiring a fixed infrastructure. Contact our team for multi-unit pricing and coordinated artwork.

Q: What other flag heights and base types are available?

A: The feather flag is available in 2.3m, 3.2m and 5m heights with the drive-on car base. A ground spike base is available for grass perimeters and verge-side positions. A teardrop shape offers a wider, more rounded profile. All use the same glass fibre pole construction and are rated to 45km/h.
