5m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base and Custom Printing
At 5 metres tall, this feather flag clears the roofline of every SUV on your forecourt and puts your brand exactly where passing traffic sees it first. The drive-on steel base anchors under a vehicle wheel with zero footprint on your forecourt surface. No bolts. No drilling. No adhesive. No damage to tarmac or block paving. Drive a vehicle onto the base plate, assemble the 4kg glass fibre pole kit in around 2 minutes and your dealership has a roadside attractor that is visible from hundreds of metres away, operating above the vehicles rather than competing with them at ground level.
Custom printing is included. Place your order, receive your artwork template, and send your design back when it is ready. Your flag is produced within 3 to 5 working days of artwork approval, a precision-led production window that ensures accurate colour reproduction, clean finishing and correct pole-pocket alignment.
Engineered for Forecourt Conditions
- Drive-on steel base for zero-footprint anchoring: The steel base plate sits flat on tarmac, concrete or block paving and is held in place by the weight of a parked vehicle wheel. No fixings penetrate your forecourt surface. No residue when you move it. No planning implications. Deploy it in the morning, reposition it as your display layout changes and remove it at the end of the day without leaving a trace.
- Glass fibre poles: paintwork-safe and aerodynamically resilient: Glass fibre flexes with the wind rather than resisting it. Unlike rigid aluminium or steel poles that can snap under sustained load and risk damaging nearby vehicles if they fail, glass fibre absorbs gusts aerodynamically and returns to position. The material is also non-marking and paintwork-safe, which matters on a forecourt where your flag stands metres from vehicles worth tens of thousands of pounds.
- 5m height clears every roofline on the lot: SUVs, vans, 4x4s. At 5 metres, the flag operates above the tallest vehicles on your forecourt, giving your brand roadside visibility that ground-level signage and windscreen stickers cannot match. Passing drivers and pedestrians see your branding before they see the vehicles, which is exactly the right sequence for drawing them in.
- 45km/h wind rating for exposed forecourt conditions: Dealership forecourts are open, exposed environments where wind funnels between buildings and across tarmac. The combination of glass fibre flexibility and aerodynamic flag shape delivers automotive-grade stability in the conditions that forecourts actually experience, not just calm-day testing.
- 690mm x 3860mm of branded presence: Nearly four metres of continuous vertical branding space. At 5 metres tall and in constant motion, this flag creates a visual authority that static forecourt signs, bunting and windscreen displays cannot replicate.
- 4kg total weight with soft carry bag included: The complete kit weighs just 4kg. The sectional pole, flag, whip and base pack into a compact soft carry bag included as standard. One person carries it from the showroom to the forecourt in a single trip.
- Precision-led 3 to 5 day production: Your artwork is printed on durable polyester with accurate colour matching and clean hemming. The production window ensures your dealership branding, manufacturer co-branding or event messaging arrives print-perfect and pole-ready.
Where This Flag Establishes Forecourt Presence
| New and Used Car Dealerships | Position flags at the forecourt entrance, along the roadside boundary or beside feature vehicles. The 5-metre height is visible to drivers approaching from both directions, creating a visual draw that brings traffic onto the lot. The drive-on base repositions in seconds as your display layout changes throughout the week. |
| Manufacturer Event Days and Launch Weekends | Brand your forecourt for a manufacturer launch, test-drive event or seasonal sale without any permanent installation. Combine 5m flags at the entrance with 3.2m flags along the boundary to create a tiered perimeter of branded presence. Remove them when the event ends with zero surface impact. |
| Commercial Vehicle and Fleet Dealerships | Forecourts with large commercial vehicles need flags that clear the roofline of vans, trucks and plant equipment. At 5 metres, this flag is visible above every vehicle type on a commercial lot, and the glass fibre pole is paintwork-safe around high-value fleet stock. |
| Motorcycle and Leisure Vehicle Showrooms | Outdoor display areas for motorcycles, caravans and motorhomes benefit from overhead branding that draws attention to the site without cluttering the display space at ground level. The zero-footprint base means no obstacles around the vehicles. |
| Hand Car Washes and Valeting Services | Roadside visibility is everything for a car wash. A 5-metre flag with your brand, pricing or opening hours is visible to passing drivers before they commit to the next junction. The drive-on base anchors under any vehicle on site. |
| MOT Centres, Tyre Fitters and Service Garages | Businesses set back from the road or sharing a commercial estate use 5-metre flags to announce their presence from the approach road. The flag guides customers to the right unit and establishes your business as a professional, branded operation. |

The Displaysense 5m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base (FF5000DB) is a large-format outdoor promotional flag with a sectional glass fibre pole, integrated GRP whip, drive-on steel car base and single-sided custom-printed polyester flag.

Drive-on base requires no fixings, bolts or surface penetration. Production lead time 3 to 5 working days from artwork approval. Suitable for car dealerships, automotive forecourts, commercial vehicle sites, hand car washes, MOT centres, tyre fitters and roadside service businesses.

A car dealership forecourt has one job before any salesperson opens their mouth: get drivers to turn in. The vehicles on the lot are the product, but they are invisible from the road unless something above them catches the eye first. The 5m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with drive-on car base is that something. At 5 metres it clears the roofline of every vehicle on the lot, puts your brand into the sightline of approaching traffic and creates the kind of motion and visual authority that static forecourt signage cannot replicate.
The drive-on steel base is what makes this flag practical for a working forecourt. It sits flat on tarmac or block paving and anchors under the wheel of any parked vehicle. No bolts into the surface. No drilled fixings. No adhesive residue. No planning implications. You can deploy it at the forecourt entrance at 8am, reposition it beside a feature vehicle at lunchtime and remove it entirely at close of business without leaving a mark on the surface. That zero-footprint flexibility is critical on a site where the display layout changes with every vehicle that arrives or leaves.
The glass fibre pole is engineered for the exposed, open conditions that forecourts actually experience. Wind funnels across tarmac, between buildings and around parked vehicles in unpredictable gusts. A rigid aluminium pole transfers that stress directly to the base and, if it fails, risks falling onto vehicles. Glass fibre absorbs the energy aerodynamically, flexing with the wind and returning to position. It is rated for conditions up to 45km/h and is non-marking and paintwork-safe, which matters when your flag stands a metre from vehicles worth tens of thousands of pounds.
The complete kit weighs 4kg, assembles in around 2 minutes by one person and packs into a soft carry bag included as standard. When your branding changes, your manufacturer co-branding updates or you need a new message for an event weekend, get in touch with our team to arrange a new printed flag for the same pole and base. The hardware is built for years of daily forecourt use.

Every specification below is engineered for the reality of a working forecourt. Open tarmac. Unpredictable wind. High-value vehicles within arm's reach. Daily deployment and repositioning. The drive-on steel base, glass fibre pole and 45km/h wind rating are not generic event-flag specs carried over from a different product. They are deliberate engineering choices for automotive environments.
At 5 metres, this flag clears the roofline of every SUV, van and 4x4 on the lot, giving your brand the roadside visibility that ground-level signage and windscreen stickers cannot match.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Assembled Height | 5000mm | Five metres of forecourt presence. The flag clears the roofline of SUVs, vans, 4x4s and commercial vehicles, putting your brand into the sightline of approaching traffic above the vehicle stock rather than competing with it at ground level. |
| Flag Size | 690mm (W) x 3860mm (H) | Nearly four metres of continuous vertical branding. At this height and in constant motion, the flag creates the roadside visual authority that draws passing drivers onto the lot. Logos, colours and messaging are legible from well beyond the immediate forecourt boundary. |
| Base | Drive-on steel car base | Sits flat on tarmac, concrete or block paving and anchors under any vehicle wheel. Zero-footprint: no bolts, no drilling, no adhesive, no surface damage. Deploy, reposition and remove throughout the day without leaving a trace on your forecourt. |
| Pole Material | Sectional glass fibre (GRP) | Glass fibre flexes with the wind rather than resisting it, providing aerodynamic resilience in the exposed, open conditions typical of forecourt environments. Non-marking and paintwork-safe, which matters when the pole stands metres from high-value vehicle stock. |
| GRP Whip | Integrated flexible tip | Creates the feather curve at the top of the flag, keeping the printed area taut and facing outward even in sustained wind. Prevents the flag from wrapping around the pole and obscuring your branding. |
| Wind Rating | Up to 45km/h (Beaufort 6) | Automotive-grade stability for the exposed, open conditions that forecourts actually experience. Wind funnels across tarmac and between buildings in unpredictable gusts. This system is rated for those conditions, not just calm-day laboratory testing. |
| Total Weight | 4kg | The complete kit weighs just 4kg including pole, flag, whip and base. One person carries it from the showroom to the forecourt in a single trip. |
| Assembly | Tool-free, one person, approx. 2 minutes | Push the sectional pole together, slide it into the flag and lock it into the drive-on base. One person, no tools, deployed in around 2 minutes. Reposition by driving a different vehicle onto the base plate. |
| Flag Material | Polyester | Durable, lightweight polyester that holds its shape, resists fraying and maintains print vibrancy through daily outdoor deployment across multiple seasons. |
| Single-sided, full colour (included) | Custom artwork printed on one side. The image shows through in reverse on the back. Printing is included in the price. No separate print order required. | |
| Lead Time | 3 to 5 working days from approval | Precision-led production for accurate colour reproduction, clean hemming and correct pole-pocket construction. Your dealership branding or manufacturer co-branding arrives print-perfect and pole-ready. |
| Transport | Soft carry bag included | The pole sections, flag and base pack into a compact soft carry bag for space-saving storage and transport between sites. |
| Delivery | Free standard UK mainland | Standard delivery is free. Contact us for delivery coordination on multi-site dealership orders. |

Questions About the 5m Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base
Q: How does the drive-on car base work?
A: The steel base plate sits flat on tarmac, concrete or block paving. Drive any vehicle wheel onto the plate to anchor it. The weight of the vehicle holds the flag securely in position. No bolts, no drilling, no adhesive and no damage to your forecourt surface. Reposition it by driving the vehicle off, moving the base and driving back on.
Q: Will the drive-on base damage my forecourt surface?
A: No. The base is a flat steel plate that sits on the surface without penetrating it. It leaves no marks, no holes and no adhesive residue when removed. This zero-footprint design is specifically intended for working forecourts where the surface needs to remain undamaged for vehicle movement and display layout changes.
Q: Why is the 5m height important for a car dealership?
A: At 5 metres, the flag clears the roofline of every SUV, van and 4x4 on the lot. This means your branding is visible to passing traffic above the vehicle stock, rather than being hidden behind it at ground level. Roadside visibility is what draws drivers onto the forecourt in the first place.
Q: Is the glass fibre pole safe to use near vehicles?
A: Yes. Glass fibre is non-marking and paintwork-safe. Unlike rigid aluminium or steel poles that could scratch, dent or damage vehicle bodywork if they come into contact during wind gusts or repositioning, glass fibre is flexible and will not mark paintwork. This matters on a forecourt where the flag may stand within a metre of vehicles worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Q: Why glass fibre instead of aluminium for an outdoor pole?
A: Glass fibre provides aerodynamic resilience that aluminium cannot match. It flexes with the wind rather than resisting it, absorbing gusts and returning to position instead of transferring stress to the base. On an exposed forecourt where wind funnels unpredictably, that flex is what keeps the flag upright and functional in conditions up to 45km/h.
Q: How quickly can one person set this up on a forecourt?
A: Around 2 minutes. Place the base plate on the ground, drive a vehicle wheel onto it, push the sectional pole together, slide it into the flag and lock it into the base. One person, no tools. The whole kit weighs just 4kg.
Q: Can I reposition the flag during the day as my display layout changes?
A: Yes. Drive the anchoring vehicle off the base, move the flag to the new position, drive any available vehicle onto the plate and the flag is re-anchored. The process takes less time than rearranging a row of windscreen price cards.
Q: Is the custom printing included in the price?
A: Yes. Single-sided full-colour custom printing is included. The price covers the printed polyester flag, the glass fibre pole, the GRP whip, the drive-on steel base and a soft carry bag. You supply your artwork and our team handles production.
Q: Can I get a replacement printed flag when my branding or co-branding changes?
A: Yes. The glass fibre pole and drive-on base are reusable across multiple campaigns and seasons. When your dealership branding updates, a manufacturer promotion changes or you need a new message for an event weekend, get in touch with our team to arrange a new printed flag for the same hardware.
Q: What wind conditions can this flag handle?
A: The system is rated for winds up to 45km/h (Beaufort 6, strong breeze). This covers standard UK forecourt conditions including the exposed, open environments typical of roadside dealerships. In severe weather beyond this rating, take the flag down to protect the printed graphic.
Q: Does it come with a carry bag?
A: Yes. A soft carry bag is included as standard. The sectional pole, flag, whip and base all pack down into the bag for compact storage in the showroom, parts department or a sales vehicle boot.
Q: What if I need the flag on grass or soft ground instead?
A: The same 5m flag is available with a ground spike base for soft surfaces such as grass verges, soil and sand. If your dealership has both tarmac and grass areas, contact our team and we can supply both base types for the same pole and flag system.

Where This Flag Establishes Forecourt Presence
| New and Used Car Dealerships | Position flags at the forecourt entrance, along the roadside boundary or beside feature vehicles. The 5-metre height is visible to drivers approaching from both directions, creating a visual draw that brings traffic onto the lot. The drive-on base repositions in seconds as your display layout changes throughout the week. |
| Manufacturer Event Days and Launch Weekends | Brand your forecourt for a manufacturer launch, test-drive event or seasonal sale without any permanent installation. Combine 5m flags at the entrance with 3.2m flags along the boundary to create a tiered perimeter of branded presence. Remove them when the event ends with zero surface impact. |
| Commercial Vehicle and Fleet Dealerships | Forecourts with large commercial vehicles need flags that clear the roofline of vans, trucks and plant equipment. At 5 metres, this flag is visible above every vehicle type on a commercial lot, and the glass fibre pole is paintwork-safe around high-value fleet stock. |
| Motorcycle and Leisure Vehicle Showrooms | Outdoor display areas for motorcycles, caravans and motorhomes benefit from overhead branding that draws attention to the site without cluttering the display space at ground level. The zero-footprint base means no obstacles around the vehicles. |
| Hand Car Washes and Valeting Services | Roadside visibility is everything for a car wash. A 5-metre flag with your brand, pricing or opening hours is visible to passing drivers before they commit to the next junction. The drive-on base anchors under any vehicle on site. |
| MOT Centres, Tyre Fitters and Service Garages | Businesses set back from the road or sharing a commercial estate use 5-metre flags to announce their presence from the approach road. The flag guides customers to the right unit and establishes your business as a professional, branded operation. |

FAQs
Questions About the 5m Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base
Q: How does the drive-on car base work?
A: The steel base plate sits flat on tarmac, concrete or block paving. Drive any vehicle wheel onto the plate to anchor it. The weight of the vehicle holds the flag securely in position. No bolts, no drilling, no adhesive and no damage to your forecourt surface. Reposition it by driving the vehicle off, moving the base and driving back on.
Q: Will the drive-on base damage my forecourt surface?
A: No. The base is a flat steel plate that sits on the surface without penetrating it. It leaves no marks, no holes and no adhesive residue when removed. This zero-footprint design is specifically intended for working forecourts where the surface needs to remain undamaged for vehicle movement and display layout changes.
Q: Why is the 5m height important for a car dealership?
A: At 5 metres, the flag clears the roofline of every SUV, van and 4x4 on the lot. This means your branding is visible to passing traffic above the vehicle stock, rather than being hidden behind it at ground level. Roadside visibility is what draws drivers onto the forecourt in the first place.
Q: Is the glass fibre pole safe to use near vehicles?
A: Yes. Glass fibre is non-marking and paintwork-safe. Unlike rigid aluminium or steel poles that could scratch, dent or damage vehicle bodywork if they come into contact during wind gusts or repositioning, glass fibre is flexible and will not mark paintwork. This matters on a forecourt where the flag may stand within a metre of vehicles worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Q: Why glass fibre instead of aluminium for an outdoor pole?
A: Glass fibre provides aerodynamic resilience that aluminium cannot match. It flexes with the wind rather than resisting it, absorbing gusts and returning to position instead of transferring stress to the base. On an exposed forecourt where wind funnels unpredictably, that flex is what keeps the flag upright and functional in conditions up to 45km/h.
Q: How quickly can one person set this up on a forecourt?
A: Around 2 minutes. Place the base plate on the ground, drive a vehicle wheel onto it, push the sectional pole together, slide it into the flag and lock it into the base. One person, no tools. The whole kit weighs just 4kg.
Q: Can I reposition the flag during the day as my display layout changes?
A: Yes. Drive the anchoring vehicle off the base, move the flag to the new position, drive any available vehicle onto the plate and the flag is re-anchored. The process takes less time than rearranging a row of windscreen price cards.
Q: Is the custom printing included in the price?
A: Yes. Single-sided full-colour custom printing is included. The price covers the printed polyester flag, the glass fibre pole, the GRP whip, the drive-on steel base and a soft carry bag. You supply your artwork and our team handles production.
Q: Can I get a replacement printed flag when my branding or co-branding changes?
A: Yes. The glass fibre pole and drive-on base are reusable across multiple campaigns and seasons. When your dealership branding updates, a manufacturer promotion changes or you need a new message for an event weekend, get in touch with our team to arrange a new printed flag for the same hardware.
Q: What wind conditions can this flag handle?
A: The system is rated for winds up to 45km/h (Beaufort 6, strong breeze). This covers standard UK forecourt conditions including the exposed, open environments typical of roadside dealerships. In severe weather beyond this rating, take the flag down to protect the printed graphic.
Q: Does it come with a carry bag?
A: Yes. A soft carry bag is included as standard. The sectional pole, flag, whip and base all pack down into the bag for compact storage in the showroom, parts department or a sales vehicle boot.
Q: What if I need the flag on grass or soft ground instead?
A: The same 5m flag is available with a ground spike base for soft surfaces such as grass verges, soil and sand. If your dealership has both tarmac and grass areas, contact our team and we can supply both base types for the same pole and flag system.

5m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base and Custom Printing
At 5 metres tall, this feather flag clears the roofline of every SUV on your forecourt and puts your brand exactly where passing traffic sees it first. The drive-on steel base anchors under a vehicle wheel with zero footprint on your forecourt surface. No bolts. No drilling. No adhesive. No damage to tarmac or block paving. Drive a vehicle onto the base plate, assemble the 4kg glass fibre pole kit in around 2 minutes and your dealership has a roadside attractor that is visible from hundreds of metres away, operating above the vehicles rather than competing with them at ground level.
Custom printing is included. Place your order, receive your artwork template, and send your design back when it is ready. Your flag is produced within 3 to 5 working days of artwork approval, a precision-led production window that ensures accurate colour reproduction, clean finishing and correct pole-pocket alignment.
Engineered for Forecourt Conditions
- Drive-on steel base for zero-footprint anchoring: The steel base plate sits flat on tarmac, concrete or block paving and is held in place by the weight of a parked vehicle wheel. No fixings penetrate your forecourt surface. No residue when you move it. No planning implications. Deploy it in the morning, reposition it as your display layout changes and remove it at the end of the day without leaving a trace.
- Glass fibre poles: paintwork-safe and aerodynamically resilient: Glass fibre flexes with the wind rather than resisting it. Unlike rigid aluminium or steel poles that can snap under sustained load and risk damaging nearby vehicles if they fail, glass fibre absorbs gusts aerodynamically and returns to position. The material is also non-marking and paintwork-safe, which matters on a forecourt where your flag stands metres from vehicles worth tens of thousands of pounds.
- 5m height clears every roofline on the lot: SUVs, vans, 4x4s. At 5 metres, the flag operates above the tallest vehicles on your forecourt, giving your brand roadside visibility that ground-level signage and windscreen stickers cannot match. Passing drivers and pedestrians see your branding before they see the vehicles, which is exactly the right sequence for drawing them in.
- 45km/h wind rating for exposed forecourt conditions: Dealership forecourts are open, exposed environments where wind funnels between buildings and across tarmac. The combination of glass fibre flexibility and aerodynamic flag shape delivers automotive-grade stability in the conditions that forecourts actually experience, not just calm-day testing.
- 690mm x 3860mm of branded presence: Nearly four metres of continuous vertical branding space. At 5 metres tall and in constant motion, this flag creates a visual authority that static forecourt signs, bunting and windscreen displays cannot replicate.
- 4kg total weight with soft carry bag included: The complete kit weighs just 4kg. The sectional pole, flag, whip and base pack into a compact soft carry bag included as standard. One person carries it from the showroom to the forecourt in a single trip.
- Precision-led 3 to 5 day production: Your artwork is printed on durable polyester with accurate colour matching and clean hemming. The production window ensures your dealership branding, manufacturer co-branding or event messaging arrives print-perfect and pole-ready.
Where This Flag Establishes Forecourt Presence
| New and Used Car Dealerships | Position flags at the forecourt entrance, along the roadside boundary or beside feature vehicles. The 5-metre height is visible to drivers approaching from both directions, creating a visual draw that brings traffic onto the lot. The drive-on base repositions in seconds as your display layout changes throughout the week. |
| Manufacturer Event Days and Launch Weekends | Brand your forecourt for a manufacturer launch, test-drive event or seasonal sale without any permanent installation. Combine 5m flags at the entrance with 3.2m flags along the boundary to create a tiered perimeter of branded presence. Remove them when the event ends with zero surface impact. |
| Commercial Vehicle and Fleet Dealerships | Forecourts with large commercial vehicles need flags that clear the roofline of vans, trucks and plant equipment. At 5 metres, this flag is visible above every vehicle type on a commercial lot, and the glass fibre pole is paintwork-safe around high-value fleet stock. |
| Motorcycle and Leisure Vehicle Showrooms | Outdoor display areas for motorcycles, caravans and motorhomes benefit from overhead branding that draws attention to the site without cluttering the display space at ground level. The zero-footprint base means no obstacles around the vehicles. |
| Hand Car Washes and Valeting Services | Roadside visibility is everything for a car wash. A 5-metre flag with your brand, pricing or opening hours is visible to passing drivers before they commit to the next junction. The drive-on base anchors under any vehicle on site. |
| MOT Centres, Tyre Fitters and Service Garages | Businesses set back from the road or sharing a commercial estate use 5-metre flags to announce their presence from the approach road. The flag guides customers to the right unit and establishes your business as a professional, branded operation. |

The Displaysense 5m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base (FF5000DB) is a large-format outdoor promotional flag with a sectional glass fibre pole, integrated GRP whip, drive-on steel car base and single-sided custom-printed polyester flag. Total assembled height: 5000mm. Flag size: 690mm x 3860mm. Total weight: 4kg. Wind-rated to 45km/h. One-person assembly in around 2 minutes. Soft carry bag included. Custom printing included. Drive-on base requires no fixings, bolts or surface penetration. Production lead time 3 to 5 working days from artwork approval. Suitable for car dealerships, automotive forecourts, commercial vehicle sites, hand car washes, MOT centres, tyre fitters and roadside service businesses. Also available in 3.2m and 2.3m heights, and with ground spike base for soft surfaces. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
A car dealership forecourt has one job before any salesperson opens their mouth: get drivers to turn in. The vehicles on the lot are the product, but they are invisible from the road unless something above them catches the eye first. The 5m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with drive-on car base is that something. At 5 metres it clears the roofline of every vehicle on the lot, puts your brand into the sightline of approaching traffic and creates the kind of motion and visual authority that static forecourt signage cannot replicate.
The drive-on steel base is what makes this flag practical for a working forecourt. It sits flat on tarmac or block paving and anchors under the wheel of any parked vehicle. No bolts into the surface. No drilled fixings. No adhesive residue. No planning implications. You can deploy it at the forecourt entrance at 8am, reposition it beside a feature vehicle at lunchtime and remove it entirely at close of business without leaving a mark on the surface. That zero-footprint flexibility is critical on a site where the display layout changes with every vehicle that arrives or leaves.
The glass fibre pole is engineered for the exposed, open conditions that forecourts actually experience. Wind funnels across tarmac, between buildings and around parked vehicles in unpredictable gusts. A rigid aluminium pole transfers that stress directly to the base and, if it fails, risks falling onto vehicles. Glass fibre absorbs the energy aerodynamically, flexing with the wind and returning to position. It is rated for conditions up to 45km/h and is non-marking and paintwork-safe, which matters when your flag stands a metre from vehicles worth tens of thousands of pounds.
The complete kit weighs 4kg, assembles in around 2 minutes by one person and packs into a soft carry bag included as standard. When your branding changes, your manufacturer co-branding updates or you need a new message for an event weekend, get in touch with our team to arrange a new printed flag for the same pole and base. The hardware is built for years of daily forecourt use.

Total assembled height: 5000mm. Flag size: 690mm x 3860mm. Total weight: 4kg. Wind-rated to 45km/h. One-person assembly in around 2 minutes. Soft carry bag included. Custom printing included. Drive-on base requires no fixings, bolts or surface penetration. Production lead time 3 to 5 working days from artwork approval.

Every specification below is engineered for the reality of a working forecourt. Open tarmac. Unpredictable wind. High-value vehicles within arm's reach. Daily deployment and repositioning. The drive-on steel base, glass fibre pole and 45km/h wind rating are not generic event-flag specs carried over from a different product. They are deliberate engineering choices for automotive environments.
At 5 metres, this flag clears the roofline of every SUV, van and 4x4 on the lot, giving your brand the roadside visibility that ground-level signage and windscreen stickers cannot match.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Assembled Height | 5000mm | Five metres of forecourt presence. The flag clears the roofline of SUVs, vans, 4x4s and commercial vehicles, putting your brand into the sightline of approaching traffic above the vehicle stock rather than competing with it at ground level. |
| Flag Size | 690mm (W) x 3860mm (H) | Nearly four metres of continuous vertical branding. At this height and in constant motion, the flag creates the roadside visual authority that draws passing drivers onto the lot. Logos, colours and messaging are legible from well beyond the immediate forecourt boundary. |
| Base | Drive-on steel car base | Sits flat on tarmac, concrete or block paving and anchors under any vehicle wheel. Zero-footprint: no bolts, no drilling, no adhesive, no surface damage. Deploy, reposition and remove throughout the day without leaving a trace on your forecourt. |
| Pole Material | Sectional glass fibre (GRP) | Glass fibre flexes with the wind rather than resisting it, providing aerodynamic resilience in the exposed, open conditions typical of forecourt environments. Non-marking and paintwork-safe, which matters when the pole stands metres from high-value vehicle stock. |
| GRP Whip | Integrated flexible tip | Creates the feather curve at the top of the flag, keeping the printed area taut and facing outward even in sustained wind. Prevents the flag from wrapping around the pole and obscuring your branding. |
| Wind Rating | Up to 45km/h (Beaufort 6) | Automotive-grade stability for the exposed, open conditions that forecourts actually experience. Wind funnels across tarmac and between buildings in unpredictable gusts. This system is rated for those conditions, not just calm-day laboratory testing. |
| Total Weight | 4kg | The complete kit weighs just 4kg including pole, flag, whip and base. One person carries it from the showroom to the forecourt in a single trip. |
| Assembly | Tool-free, one person, approx. 2 minutes | Push the sectional pole together, slide it into the flag and lock it into the drive-on base. One person, no tools, deployed in around 2 minutes. Reposition by driving a different vehicle onto the base plate. |
| Flag Material | Polyester | Durable, lightweight polyester that holds its shape, resists fraying and maintains print vibrancy through daily outdoor deployment across multiple seasons. |
| Single-sided, full colour (included) | Custom artwork printed on one side. The image shows through in reverse on the back. Printing is included in the price. No separate print order required. | |
| Lead Time | 3 to 5 working days from approval | Precision-led production for accurate colour reproduction, clean hemming and correct pole-pocket construction. Your dealership branding or manufacturer co-branding arrives print-perfect and pole-ready. |
| Transport | Soft carry bag included | The pole sections, flag and base pack into a compact soft carry bag for space-saving storage and transport between sites. |
| Delivery | Free standard UK mainland | Standard delivery is free. Contact us for delivery coordination on multi-site dealership orders. |
| Also Available | 3.2m, 2.3m heights; ground spike base; teardrop shape | Smaller heights for tighter spaces. Ground spike base for soft surfaces at event sites. Teardrop shape for a different silhouette. All use the same glass fibre pole system. |

Questions About the 5m Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base
Q: How does the drive-on car base work?
A: The steel base plate sits flat on tarmac, concrete or block paving. Drive any vehicle wheel onto the plate to anchor it. The weight of the vehicle holds the flag securely in position. No bolts, no drilling, no adhesive and no damage to your forecourt surface. Reposition it by driving the vehicle off, moving the base and driving back on.
Q: Will the drive-on base damage my forecourt surface?
A: No. The base is a flat steel plate that sits on the surface without penetrating it. It leaves no marks, no holes and no adhesive residue when removed. This zero-footprint design is specifically intended for working forecourts where the surface needs to remain undamaged for vehicle movement and display layout changes.
Q: Why is the 5m height important for a car dealership?
A: At 5 metres, the flag clears the roofline of every SUV, van and 4x4 on the lot. This means your branding is visible to passing traffic above the vehicle stock, rather than being hidden behind it at ground level. Roadside visibility is what draws drivers onto the forecourt in the first place.
Q: Is the glass fibre pole safe to use near vehicles?
A: Yes. Glass fibre is non-marking and paintwork-safe. Unlike rigid aluminium or steel poles that could scratch, dent or damage vehicle bodywork if they come into contact during wind gusts or repositioning, glass fibre is flexible and will not mark paintwork. This matters on a forecourt where the flag may stand within a metre of vehicles worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Q: Why glass fibre instead of aluminium for an outdoor pole?
A: Glass fibre provides aerodynamic resilience that aluminium cannot match. It flexes with the wind rather than resisting it, absorbing gusts and returning to position instead of transferring stress to the base. On an exposed forecourt where wind funnels unpredictably, that flex is what keeps the flag upright and functional in conditions up to 45km/h.
Q: How quickly can one person set this up on a forecourt?
A: Around 2 minutes. Place the base plate on the ground, drive a vehicle wheel onto it, push the sectional pole together, slide it into the flag and lock it into the base. One person, no tools. The whole kit weighs just 4kg.
Q: Can I reposition the flag during the day as my display layout changes?
A: Yes. Drive the anchoring vehicle off the base, move the flag to the new position, drive any available vehicle onto the plate and the flag is re-anchored. The process takes less time than rearranging a row of windscreen price cards.
Q: Is the custom printing included in the price?
A: Yes. Single-sided full-colour custom printing is included. The price covers the printed polyester flag, the glass fibre pole, the GRP whip, the drive-on steel base and a soft carry bag. You supply your artwork and our team handles production.
Q: Can I get a replacement printed flag when my branding or co-branding changes?
A: Yes. The glass fibre pole and drive-on base are reusable across multiple campaigns and seasons. When your dealership branding updates, a manufacturer promotion changes or you need a new message for an event weekend, get in touch with our team to arrange a new printed flag for the same hardware.
Q: What wind conditions can this flag handle?
A: The system is rated for winds up to 45km/h (Beaufort 6, strong breeze). This covers standard UK forecourt conditions including the exposed, open environments typical of roadside dealerships. In severe weather beyond this rating, take the flag down to protect the printed graphic.
Q: Does it come with a carry bag?
A: Yes. A soft carry bag is included as standard. The sectional pole, flag, whip and base all pack down into the bag for compact storage in the showroom, parts department or a sales vehicle boot.
Q: What if I need the flag on grass or soft ground instead?
A: The same 5m flag is available with a ground spike base for soft surfaces such as grass verges, soil and sand. If your dealership has both tarmac and grass areas, contact our team and we can supply both base types for the same pole and flag system.

Custom printing is included. Place your order, receive your artwork template, and send your design back when it is ready. Your flag is produced within 3 to 5 working days of artwork approval, a precision-led production window that ensures accurate colour reproduction, clean finishing and correct pole-pocket alignment.

Where This Flag Establishes Forecourt Presence
| New and Used Car Dealerships | Position flags at the forecourt entrance, along the roadside boundary or beside feature vehicles. The 5-metre height is visible to drivers approaching from both directions, creating a visual draw that brings traffic onto the lot. The drive-on base repositions in seconds as your display layout changes throughout the week. |
| Manufacturer Event Days and Launch Weekends | Brand your forecourt for a manufacturer launch, test-drive event or seasonal sale without any permanent installation. Combine 5m flags at the entrance with 3.2m flags along the boundary to create a tiered perimeter of branded presence. Remove them when the event ends with zero surface impact. |
| Commercial Vehicle and Fleet Dealerships | Forecourts with large commercial vehicles need flags that clear the roofline of vans, trucks and plant equipment. At 5 metres, this flag is visible above every vehicle type on a commercial lot, and the glass fibre pole is paintwork-safe around high-value fleet stock. |
| Motorcycle and Leisure Vehicle Showrooms | Outdoor display areas for motorcycles, caravans and motorhomes benefit from overhead branding that draws attention to the site without cluttering the display space at ground level. The zero-footprint base means no obstacles around the vehicles. |
| Hand Car Washes and Valeting Services | Roadside visibility is everything for a car wash. A 5-metre flag with your brand, pricing or opening hours is visible to passing drivers before they commit to the next junction. The drive-on base anchors under any vehicle on site. |
| MOT Centres, Tyre Fitters and Service Garages | Businesses set back from the road or sharing a commercial estate use 5-metre flags to announce their presence from the approach road. The flag guides customers to the right unit and establishes your business as a professional, branded operation. |

That zero-footprint flexibility is critical on a site where the display layout changes with every vehicle that arrives or leaves.
The glass fibre pole is engineered for the exposed, open conditions that forecourts actually experience. Wind funnels across tarmac, between buildings and around parked vehicles in unpredictable gusts. A rigid aluminium pole transfers that stress directly to the base and, if it fails, risks falling onto vehicles. Glass fibre absorbs the energy aerodynamically, flexing with the wind and returning to position. It is rated for conditions up to 45km/h and is non-marking and paintwork-safe, which matters when your flag stands a metre from vehicles worth tens of thousands of pounds.
The complete kit weighs 4kg, assembles in around 2 minutes by one person and packs into a soft carry bag included as standard. When your branding changes, your manufacturer co-branding updates or you need a new message for an event weekend, get in touch with our team to arrange a new printed flag for the same pole and base. The hardware is built for years of daily forecourt use.

Specifications
Every specification below is engineered for the reality of a working forecourt. Open tarmac. Unpredictable wind. High-value vehicles within arm's reach. Daily deployment and repositioning. The drive-on steel base, glass fibre pole and 45km/h wind rating are not generic event-flag specs carried over from a different product. They are deliberate engineering choices for automotive environments.
At 5 metres, this flag clears the roofline of every SUV, van and 4x4 on the lot, giving your brand the roadside visibility that ground-level signage and windscreen stickers cannot match.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Assembled Height | 5000mm | Five metres of forecourt presence. The flag clears the roofline of SUVs, vans, 4x4s and commercial vehicles, putting your brand into the sightline of approaching traffic above the vehicle stock rather than competing with it at ground level. |
| Flag Size | 690mm (W) x 3860mm (H) | Nearly four metres of continuous vertical branding. At this height and in constant motion, the flag creates the roadside visual authority that draws passing drivers onto the lot. Logos, colours and messaging are legible from well beyond the immediate forecourt boundary. |
| Base | Drive-on steel car base | Sits flat on tarmac, concrete or block paving and anchors under any vehicle wheel. Zero-footprint: no bolts, no drilling, no adhesive, no surface damage. Deploy, reposition and remove throughout the day without leaving a trace on your forecourt. |
| Pole Material | Sectional glass fibre (GRP) | Glass fibre flexes with the wind rather than resisting it, providing aerodynamic resilience in the exposed, open conditions typical of forecourt environments. Non-marking and paintwork-safe, which matters when the pole stands metres from high-value vehicle stock. |
| GRP Whip | Integrated flexible tip | Creates the feather curve at the top of the flag, keeping the printed area taut and facing outward even in sustained wind. Prevents the flag from wrapping around the pole and obscuring your branding. |
| Wind Rating | Up to 45km/h (Beaufort 6) | Automotive-grade stability for the exposed, open conditions that forecourts actually experience. Wind funnels across tarmac and between buildings in unpredictable gusts. This system is rated for those conditions, not just calm-day laboratory testing. |
| Total Weight | 4kg | The complete kit weighs just 4kg including pole, flag, whip and base. One person carries it from the showroom to the forecourt in a single trip. |
| Assembly | Tool-free, one person, approx. 2 minutes | Push the sectional pole together, slide it into the flag and lock it into the drive-on base. One person, no tools, deployed in around 2 minutes. Reposition by driving a different vehicle onto the base plate. |
| Flag Material | Polyester | Durable, lightweight polyester that holds its shape, resists fraying and maintains print vibrancy through daily outdoor deployment across multiple seasons. |
| Single-sided, full colour (included) | Custom artwork printed on one side. The image shows through in reverse on the back. Printing is included in the price. No separate print order required. | |
| Lead Time | 3 to 5 working days from approval | Precision-led production for accurate colour reproduction, clean hemming and correct pole-pocket construction. Your dealership branding or manufacturer co-branding arrives print-perfect and pole-ready. |
| Transport | Soft carry bag included | The pole sections, flag and base pack into a compact soft carry bag for space-saving storage and transport between sites. |
| Delivery | Free standard UK mainland | Standard delivery is free. Contact us for delivery coordination on multi-site dealership orders. |
| Also Available | 3.2m, 2.3m heights; ground spike base; teardrop shape | Smaller heights for tighter spaces. Ground spike base for soft surfaces at event sites. Teardrop shape for a different silhouette. All use the same glass fibre pole system. |

FAQs
Questions About the 5m Feather Flag with Drive-On Car Base
Q: How does the drive-on car base work?
A: The steel base plate sits flat on tarmac, concrete or block paving. Drive any vehicle wheel onto the plate to anchor it. The weight of the vehicle holds the flag securely in position. No bolts, no drilling, no adhesive and no damage to your forecourt surface. Reposition it by driving the vehicle off, moving the base and driving back on.
Q: Will the drive-on base damage my forecourt surface?
A: No. The base is a flat steel plate that sits on the surface without penetrating it. It leaves no marks, no holes and no adhesive residue when removed. This zero-footprint design is specifically intended for working forecourts where the surface needs to remain undamaged for vehicle movement and display layout changes.
Q: Why is the 5m height important for a car dealership?
A: At 5 metres, the flag clears the roofline of every SUV, van and 4x4 on the lot. This means your branding is visible to passing traffic above the vehicle stock, rather than being hidden behind it at ground level. Roadside visibility is what draws drivers onto the forecourt in the first place.
Q: Is the glass fibre pole safe to use near vehicles?
A: Yes. Glass fibre is non-marking and paintwork-safe. Unlike rigid aluminium or steel poles that could scratch, dent or damage vehicle bodywork if they come into contact during wind gusts or repositioning, glass fibre is flexible and will not mark paintwork. This matters on a forecourt where the flag may stand within a metre of vehicles worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Q: Why glass fibre instead of aluminium for an outdoor pole?
A: Glass fibre provides aerodynamic resilience that aluminium cannot match. It flexes with the wind rather than resisting it, absorbing gusts and returning to position instead of transferring stress to the base. On an exposed forecourt where wind funnels unpredictably, that flex is what keeps the flag upright and functional in conditions up to 45km/h.
Q: How quickly can one person set this up on a forecourt?
A: Around 2 minutes. Place the base plate on the ground, drive a vehicle wheel onto it, push the sectional pole together, slide it into the flag and lock it into the base. One person, no tools. The whole kit weighs just 4kg.
Q: Can I reposition the flag during the day as my display layout changes?
A: Yes. Drive the anchoring vehicle off the base, move the flag to the new position, drive any available vehicle onto the plate and the flag is re-anchored. The process takes less time than rearranging a row of windscreen price cards.
Q: Is the custom printing included in the price?
A: Yes. Single-sided full-colour custom printing is included. The price covers the printed polyester flag, the glass fibre pole, the GRP whip, the drive-on steel base and a soft carry bag. You supply your artwork and our team handles production.
Q: Can I get a replacement printed flag when my branding or co-branding changes?
A: Yes. The glass fibre pole and drive-on base are reusable across multiple campaigns and seasons. When your dealership branding updates, a manufacturer promotion changes or you need a new message for an event weekend, get in touch with our team to arrange a new printed flag for the same hardware.
Q: What wind conditions can this flag handle?
A: The system is rated for winds up to 45km/h (Beaufort 6, strong breeze). This covers standard UK forecourt conditions including the exposed, open environments typical of roadside dealerships. In severe weather beyond this rating, take the flag down to protect the printed graphic.
Q: Does it come with a carry bag?
A: Yes. A soft carry bag is included as standard. The sectional pole, flag, whip and base all pack down into the bag for compact storage in the showroom, parts department or a sales vehicle boot.
Q: What if I need the flag on grass or soft ground instead?
A: The same 5m flag is available with a ground spike base for soft surfaces such as grass verges, soil and sand. If your dealership has both tarmac and grass areas, contact our team and we can supply both base types for the same pole and flag system.
