3.2m Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Ground Spike Base and Custom Print
At 3.2 metres tall and just 1.7kg total kit weight, this feather flag is engineered to command sightlines from the moment it goes into the ground. The glass fibre pole flexes and recovers in wind rather than resisting it, which means the flag stays upright, visible and intact in conditions up to 45km/h where rigid aluminium poles would stress, bend and eventually fail. The flexible GRP whip at the top holds the feather shape taut so the fabric does not collapse or droop between gusts. The result is a display that moves with the weather rather than fighting it, maintaining your branding in continuous motion at a height that catches attention from across a car park, a field or a high street.
The single-sided Aero-Light print is a deliberate engineering choice, not a compromise. Printing on one side of the polyester keeps the flag lighter, which reduces load on the pole, improves responsiveness in variable wind and keeps the feather shape defined rather than heavy and limp. Your artwork prints in full colour on the front face with a show-through mirror image on the reverse, giving you branded visibility from both directions while keeping the aerodynamic performance that makes glass fibre flags effective in the first place.
What Makes This a Professional-Grade Outdoor Flag
- Glass fibre pole construction: High-performance composite that flexes under wind load and returns to shape. Unlike rigid aluminium poles that can bend permanently or snap under stress, glass fibre absorbs energy and recovers. This is the material choice used in marine and aerospace applications where resilience matters more than rigidity.
- Flexible GRP whip for defined shape: The glass-reinforced polymer whip at the top of the pole maintains the feather flag's distinctive curved profile. It keeps the fabric stretched and the shape visible even in variable or gusting conditions, so the flag always looks intentional rather than limp.
- 45km/h wind rating: Tested and rated for conditions well beyond a typical British breeze. The glass fibre pole and Aero-Light print work together to manage wind load rather than resist it, keeping the display upright and the graphic visible in sustained outdoor deployment.
- 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 reduces pole stress. Show-through on the reverse provides dual-direction visibility without the weight penalty of a double-sided liner.
- Ground spike base for soft terrain: Push the spike into grass, earth or soft ground and the flag is up. No tools, no weights, no floor plates. One person, under two minutes. The spike holds firm in compacted turf and provides a stable anchor point for the full 3.2m height.
- Custom full-colour printing included: Your artwork is printed in full colour and included in the price. Artwork template provided within 24 hours of ordering. Our team reviews every file for colour accuracy before production.
- Tool-free assembly by one person in under two minutes: The pole sections slot together, the flag slides over the pole, the spike pushes into the ground. No spanners, no instructions manual, no second pair of hands. The entire 1.7kg kit goes from bag to fully assembled display in moments.
- Soft carry bag included for transport and storage: The pole, flag and spike pack down into a compact soft carry bag. At 1.7kg total, one person can carry the complete kit by hand to the installation point and store it in a cupboard, a car boot or a venue storage room between uses.
- Designed and supplied by Displaysense: Part of our outdoor flag range. Specified and supplied by a UK display specialist since 1978.
Where This 3.2m Feather Flag Delivers Visual Dominance
| Car Dealership Forecourts and Showroom Perimeters | The 3.2m height rises above vehicle rooflines and catches the eye of passing traffic from both directions. Multiple flags along a forecourt boundary create a branded perimeter that signals activity and draws drivers in. |
| Outdoor Events, Festivals and Country Shows | Visible above crowd height and marquee canopies. The ground spike pushes straight into turf and the flag is up in minutes. Light enough for one person to carry, set up and reposition throughout the day as the event evolves. |
| Golf Days, Sports Events and Outdoor Hospitality | Marks tee sponsors, registration points, hospitality zones and brand activations across large outdoor areas. The glass fibre pole handles open-field wind conditions that would topple or distort rigid alternatives. |
| Garden Centres, Farm Shops and Roadside Retail | Catches passing traffic from the road and directs visitors toward the entrance. The feather shape and continuous motion draw the eye more effectively than a static sign at the same height. |
| Open Days, Recruitment Fairs and Campus Events | Universities, schools and corporate campuses use feather flags to mark entrances, direct foot traffic and brand open-air registration areas. The ground spike works on any grassed area without permission for permanent fixtures. |
| New Build and Show Home Sales Launches | Property developers and estate agents use feather flags to mark sales offices, show home entrances and site perimeters. The 3.2m height is visible from the approach road and the branded motion signals that the site is active and open. |

Static signs compete with everything else at eye level. A feather flag at 3.2 metres does not compete. It operates above the visual noise, catching peripheral vision with continuous motion and drawing attention toward your location before the viewer has consciously decided to look. That motion is not a side effect of the wind. It is the product working as designed. The glass fibre pole flexes and the fabric responds, creating a dynamic branded surface that is impossible to ignore in exactly the way a rigid sign is easy to walk past.
Glass fibre is the engineering choice that makes this work. Aluminium poles are rigid, which means they transfer wind energy directly to the base and the graphic. In sustained wind, rigid poles stress at the joints, bend permanently and eventually fail. Glass fibre absorbs the energy, flexes through the gust and returns to shape. The GRP whip at the top of the pole maintains the feather profile throughout, keeping the fabric taut and the flag shape defined whether the wind is steady, variable or gusting. The pole is rated to 45km/h, which covers the vast majority of conditions you will encounter at outdoor events, on forecourts and along roadsides across the UK.
The Aero-Light single-sided print is an aerodynamic advantage, not a reduction. A double-sided flag with an internal blackout liner adds weight, reduces fabric flexibility and increases the wind load on the pole. The single-sided construction keeps the flag responsive and the feather shape defined in conditions where a heavier flag would hang flat or stress the base. Your artwork prints in full colour on the front face with a natural show-through on the reverse, delivering branded visibility from both directions at a fraction of the wind load.
The ground spike pushes into grass, turf or compacted earth and anchors the full 3.2m height without tools, weights or floor plates. The entire kit weighs just 1.7kg and packs into the included soft carry bag. One person can carry it to the installation point, assemble the pole sections by hand, slide the flag on and push the spike in. The flag is up and visible in under two minutes. When the event ends or the display needs to move, the whole process reverses just as quickly.

Questions About the 3.2m Glass Fibre Feather Flag
Q: Why is the pole glass fibre rather than aluminium?
A: Glass fibre is a high-performance composite that flexes under wind load and returns to its original shape. Aluminium is rigid, which means it transfers wind energy directly to the joints and the base. In sustained outdoor conditions, rigid poles stress, bend permanently and eventually fail at the connection points. Glass fibre absorbs the energy and recovers, which is why it is used in marine masts, fishing rods and aerospace components where resilience matters more than rigidity.
Q: Why is the flag single-sided rather than double-sided?
A: The Aero-Light single-sided construction is an aerodynamic performance choice. A double-sided flag requires an internal blackout liner, which adds weight, reduces fabric flexibility and increases the wind load on the pole. The single-sided print keeps the flag responsive, keeps the feather shape defined in gusting conditions and extends the working life of the pole. Your artwork is visible from both directions through a natural show-through on the reverse.
Q: What wind speed can this flag handle?
A: Rated to 45km/h (approximately 28mph, Beaufort 6). That covers the vast majority of conditions at UK outdoor events, forecourts and roadside locations. In severe weather or storm conditions, we recommend taking the flag down as a precaution, as you would with any outdoor display.
Q: What type of ground does the spike work on?
A: Grass, turf, compacted earth and most soft outdoor surfaces. Push the spike in by hand or foot and the flag is anchored. For hard surfaces like tarmac, concrete or car park forecourts, the drive-on car base version of this flag is available instead.
Q: Is the custom printing included in the price?
A: Yes. The price covers the complete kit: printed polyester feather flag, multi-section glass fibre pole with GRP whip, ground spike base and soft carry bag. You supply artwork using the template we send within 24 hours of ordering. No hidden charges.
Q: How long does one person take to set this up?
A: Under two minutes. The pole sections slot together by hand, the flag slides over the assembled pole and the spike pushes into the ground. No tools, no manual, no second person needed. The complete kit weighs just 1.7kg and packs into the included soft carry bag, so one person can carry it to the site and have the flag up almost immediately.
Q: What does the GRP whip do?
A: The glass-reinforced polymer whip sits at the top of the pole and maintains the feather flag's distinctive curved profile. Without it, the top of the flag would hang limp. The whip keeps the fabric taut and the shape visible in all conditions, giving the flag its characteristic motion and silhouette.
Q: Can I get a replacement flag when my campaign changes?
A: Yes. The glass fibre pole and ground spike are designed for long-term reuse across multiple campaigns. When your branding changes, the printed flag can be replaced without buying new hardware. Contact our team to find out more about replacement flag options.
Q: Is the 3.2m the right height for my location?
A: The 3.2m is the most versatile size in the range. It rises above vehicle rooflines and crowd height, making it effective on forecourts, at outdoor events and along roadsides. For close-range, eye-level branding at smaller events or entrances, the 2.3m is more appropriate. For maximum long-distance visibility across large open sites, the 5m delivers industry-leading height.
Q: What other flag shapes and base types are available?
A: The feather flag is available in 2.3m, 3.2m and 5m heights. A teardrop shape is also available for a wider, more rounded profile. Base options include the ground spike for soft terrain and the drive-on car base for hard surfaces. All use the same glass fibre pole construction and are rated to 45km/h.

FAQs
Questions About the 3.2m Glass Fibre Feather Flag
Q: Why is the pole glass fibre rather than aluminium?
A: Glass fibre is a high-performance composite that flexes under wind load and returns to its original shape. Aluminium is rigid, which means it transfers wind energy directly to the joints and the base. In sustained outdoor conditions, rigid poles stress, bend permanently and eventually fail at the connection points. Glass fibre absorbs the energy and recovers, which is why it is used in marine masts, fishing rods and aerospace components where resilience matters more than rigidity.
Q: Why is the flag single-sided rather than double-sided?
A: The Aero-Light single-sided construction is an aerodynamic performance choice. A double-sided flag requires an internal blackout liner, which adds weight, reduces fabric flexibility and increases the wind load on the pole. The single-sided print keeps the flag responsive, keeps the feather shape defined in gusting conditions and extends the working life of the pole. Your artwork is visible from both directions through a natural show-through on the reverse.
Q: What wind speed can this flag handle?
A: Rated to 45km/h (approximately 28mph, Beaufort 6). That covers the vast majority of conditions at UK outdoor events, forecourts and roadside locations. In severe weather or storm conditions, we recommend taking the flag down as a precaution, as you would with any outdoor display.
Q: What type of ground does the spike work on?
A: Grass, turf, compacted earth and most soft outdoor surfaces. Push the spike in by hand or foot and the flag is anchored. For hard surfaces like tarmac, concrete or car park forecourts, the drive-on car base version of this flag is available instead.
Q: Is the custom printing included in the price?
A: Yes. The price covers the complete kit: printed polyester feather flag, multi-section glass fibre pole with GRP whip, ground spike base and soft carry bag. You supply artwork using the template we send within 24 hours of ordering. No hidden charges.
Q: How long does one person take to set this up?
A: Under two minutes. The pole sections slot together by hand, the flag slides over the assembled pole and the spike pushes into the ground. No tools, no manual, no second person needed. The complete kit weighs just 1.7kg and packs into the included soft carry bag, so one person can carry it to the site and have the flag up almost immediately.
Q: What does the GRP whip do?
A: The glass-reinforced polymer whip sits at the top of the pole and maintains the feather flag's distinctive curved profile. Without it, the top of the flag would hang limp. The whip keeps the fabric taut and the shape visible in all conditions, giving the flag its characteristic motion and silhouette.
Q: Can I get a replacement flag when my campaign changes?
A: Yes. The glass fibre pole and ground spike are designed for long-term reuse across multiple campaigns. When your branding changes, the printed flag can be replaced without buying new hardware. Contact our team to find out more about replacement flag options.
Q: Is the 3.2m the right height for my location?
A: The 3.2m is the most versatile size in the range. It rises above vehicle rooflines and crowd height, making it effective on forecourts, at outdoor events and along roadsides. For close-range, eye-level branding at smaller events or entrances, the 2.3m is more appropriate. For maximum long-distance visibility across large open sites, the 5m delivers industry-leading height.
Q: What other flag shapes and base types are available?
A: The feather flag is available in 2.3m, 3.2m and 5m heights. A teardrop shape is also available for a wider, more rounded profile. Base options include the ground spike for soft terrain and the drive-on car base for hard surfaces. All use the same glass fibre pole construction and are rated to 45km/h.

3.2m Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Ground Spike Base and Custom Print
At 3.2 metres tall and just 1.7kg total kit weight, this feather flag is engineered to command sightlines from the moment it goes into the ground. The glass fibre pole flexes and recovers in wind rather than resisting it, which means the flag stays upright, visible and intact in conditions up to 45km/h where rigid aluminium poles would stress, bend and eventually fail. The flexible GRP whip at the top holds the feather shape taut so the fabric does not collapse or droop between gusts. The result is a display that moves with the weather rather than fighting it, maintaining your branding in continuous motion at a height that catches attention from across a car park, a field or a high street.
The single-sided Aero-Light print is a deliberate engineering choice, not a compromise. Printing on one side of the polyester keeps the flag lighter, which reduces load on the pole, improves responsiveness in variable wind and keeps the feather shape defined rather than heavy and limp. Your artwork prints in full colour on the front face with a show-through mirror image on the reverse, giving you branded visibility from both directions while keeping the aerodynamic performance that makes glass fibre flags effective in the first place.
What Makes This a Professional-Grade Outdoor Flag
- Glass fibre pole construction: High-performance composite that flexes under wind load and returns to shape. Unlike rigid aluminium poles that can bend permanently or snap under stress, glass fibre absorbs energy and recovers. This is the material choice used in marine and aerospace applications where resilience matters more than rigidity.
- Flexible GRP whip for defined shape: The glass-reinforced polymer whip at the top of the pole maintains the feather flag's distinctive curved profile. It keeps the fabric stretched and the shape visible even in variable or gusting conditions, so the flag always looks intentional rather than limp.
- 45km/h wind rating: Tested and rated for conditions well beyond a typical British breeze. The glass fibre pole and Aero-Light print work together to manage wind load rather than resist it, keeping the display upright and the graphic visible in sustained outdoor deployment.
- 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 reduces pole stress. Show-through on the reverse provides dual-direction visibility without the weight penalty of a double-sided liner.
- Ground spike base for soft terrain: Push the spike into grass, earth or soft ground and the flag is up. No tools, no weights, no floor plates. One person, under two minutes. The spike holds firm in compacted turf and provides a stable anchor point for the full 3.2m height.
- Custom full-colour printing included: Your artwork is printed in full colour and included in the price. Artwork template provided within 24 hours of ordering. Our team reviews every file for colour accuracy before production.
- Tool-free assembly by one person in under two minutes: The pole sections slot together, the flag slides over the pole, the spike pushes into the ground. No spanners, no instructions manual, no second pair of hands. The entire 1.7kg kit goes from bag to fully assembled display in moments.
- Soft carry bag included for transport and storage: The pole, flag and spike pack down into a compact soft carry bag. At 1.7kg total, one person can carry the complete kit by hand to the installation point and store it in a cupboard, a car boot or a venue storage room between uses.
- Designed and supplied by Displaysense: Part of our outdoor flag range. Specified and supplied by a UK display specialist since 1978.
Where This 3.2m Feather Flag Delivers Visual Dominance
| Car Dealership Forecourts and Showroom Perimeters | The 3.2m height rises above vehicle rooflines and catches the eye of passing traffic from both directions. Multiple flags along a forecourt boundary create a branded perimeter that signals activity and draws drivers in. |
| Outdoor Events, Festivals and Country Shows | Visible above crowd height and marquee canopies. The ground spike pushes straight into turf and the flag is up in minutes. Light enough for one person to carry, set up and reposition throughout the day as the event evolves. |
| Golf Days, Sports Events and Outdoor Hospitality | Marks tee sponsors, registration points, hospitality zones and brand activations across large outdoor areas. The glass fibre pole handles open-field wind conditions that would topple or distort rigid alternatives. |
| Garden Centres, Farm Shops and Roadside Retail | Catches passing traffic from the road and directs visitors toward the entrance. The feather shape and continuous motion draw the eye more effectively than a static sign at the same height. |
| Open Days, Recruitment Fairs and Campus Events | Universities, schools and corporate campuses use feather flags to mark entrances, direct foot traffic and brand open-air registration areas. The ground spike works on any grassed area without permission for permanent fixtures. |
| New Build and Show Home Sales Launches | Property developers and estate agents use feather flags to mark sales offices, show home entrances and site perimeters. The 3.2m height is visible from the approach road and the branded motion signals that the site is active and open. |

The Displaysense 3.2m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Ground Spike 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 ground spike base for soft terrain. Total height: 3200mm. Total kit weight: 1.7kg. Wind rated to 45km/h. 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 drive-on car base, and in teardrop shape. Suitable for car dealerships, outdoor events, festivals, sports events, garden centres, open days, property sales launches and roadside retail. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
Static signs compete with everything else at eye level. A feather flag at 3.2 metres does not compete. It operates above the visual noise, catching peripheral vision with continuous motion and drawing attention toward your location before the viewer has consciously decided to look. That motion is not a side effect of the wind. It is the product working as designed. The glass fibre pole flexes and the fabric responds, creating a dynamic branded surface that is impossible to ignore in exactly the way a rigid sign is easy to walk past.
Glass fibre is the engineering choice that makes this work. Aluminium poles are rigid, which means they transfer wind energy directly to the base and the graphic. In sustained wind, rigid poles stress at the joints, bend permanently and eventually fail. Glass fibre absorbs the energy, flexes through the gust and returns to shape. The GRP whip at the top of the pole maintains the feather profile throughout, keeping the fabric taut and the flag shape defined whether the wind is steady, variable or gusting. The pole is rated to 45km/h, which covers the vast majority of conditions you will encounter at outdoor events, on forecourts and along roadsides across the UK.
The Aero-Light single-sided print is an aerodynamic advantage, not a reduction. A double-sided flag with an internal blackout liner adds weight, reduces fabric flexibility and increases the wind load on the pole. The single-sided construction keeps the flag responsive and the feather shape defined in conditions where a heavier flag would hang flat or stress the base. Your artwork prints in full colour on the front face with a natural show-through on the reverse, delivering branded visibility from both directions at a fraction of the wind load.
The ground spike pushes into grass, turf or compacted earth and anchors the full 3.2m height without tools, weights or floor plates. The entire kit weighs just 1.7kg and packs into the included soft carry bag. One person can carry it to the installation point, assemble the pole sections by hand, slide the flag on and push the spike in. The flag is up and visible in under two minutes. When the event ends or the display needs to move, the whole process reverses just as quickly.

The Displaysense 3.2m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Ground Spike 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 ground spike base for soft terrain. Total height: 3200mm. Total kit weight: 1.7kg. Wind rated to 45km/h. Tool-free assembly by one person in under 2 minutes. Soft carry bag included. Custom printing included. Also available in 2.3m and 5m heights, with drive-on car base, and in teardrop shape. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
Every specification below is taken directly from the kit. The 3.2m height, glass fibre pole construction and Aero-Light single-sided print are engineered to work together as a system. The pole provides the flex, the print keeps the weight down and the ground spike anchors the whole assembly in soft terrain at wind speeds up to 45km/h.
This is the mid-range height in the Displaysense feather flag series, positioned between the 2.3m for close-range, eye-level use and the 5m for maximum long-distance visibility. At 3.2 metres, the flag rises above vehicle rooflines, crowd height and most ground-level signage, making it the most versatile size for forecourts, events and roadside locations.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Total Height | 3200mm | Rises above vehicle rooflines, crowd height and ground-level signage. Visible from across a car park, a field or a high street without the permitting requirements of a permanent structure. |
| Flag Shape | Feather | The elongated, curved feather profile maximises the branded surface area from base to tip. The shape catches wind from any direction and creates continuous motion that draws the eye more effectively than a static sign at the same height. |
| Pole Material | Multi-section glass fibre with GRP whip | High-performance composite that flexes under wind load and returns to shape. Unlike rigid aluminium that can bend permanently or snap at joints, glass fibre absorbs energy and recovers. The GRP whip at the top maintains the feather profile in variable and gusting conditions. |

In sustained wind, rigid poles stress at the joints, bend permanently and eventually fail. Glass fibre absorbs the energy, flexes through the gust and returns to shape. The GRP whip at the top of the pole maintains the feather profile throughout, keeping the fabric taut and the flag shape defined whether the wind is steady, variable or gusting. The pole is rated to 45km/h, which covers the vast majority of conditions you will encounter at outdoor events, on forecourts and along roadsides across the UK.
The Aero-Light single-sided print is an aerodynamic advantage, not a reduction. A double-sided flag with an internal blackout liner adds weight, reduces fabric flexibility and increases the wind load on the pole. The single-sided construction keeps the flag responsive and the feather shape defined in conditions where a heavier flag would hang flat or stress the base. Your artwork prints in full colour on the front face with a natural show-through on the reverse, delivering branded visibility from both directions at a fraction of the wind load.
The ground spike pushes into grass, turf or compacted earth and anchors the full 3.2m height without tools, weights or floor plates. The entire kit weighs just 1.7kg and packs into the included soft carry bag. One person can carry it to the installation point, assemble the pole sections by hand, slide the flag on and push the spike in. The flag is up and visible in under two minutes. When the event ends or the display needs to move, the whole process reverses just as quickly.

Specifications
Every specification below is taken directly from the kit. The 3.2m height, glass fibre pole construction and Aero-Light single-sided print are engineered to work together as a system. The pole provides the flex, the print keeps the weight down and the ground spike anchors the whole assembly in soft terrain at wind speeds up to 45km/h.
This is the mid-range height in the Displaysense feather flag series, positioned between the 2.3m for close-range, eye-level use and the 5m for maximum long-distance visibility. At 3.2 metres, the flag rises above vehicle rooflines, crowd height and most ground-level signage, making it the most versatile size for forecourts, events and roadside locations.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Total Height | 3200mm | Rises above vehicle rooflines, crowd height and ground-level signage. Visible from across a car park, a field or a high street without the permitting requirements of a permanent structure. |
| Flag Shape | Feather | The elongated, curved feather profile maximises the branded surface area from base to tip. The shape catches wind from any direction and creates continuous motion that draws the eye more effectively than a static sign at the same height. |
| Pole Material | Multi-section glass fibre with GRP whip | High-performance composite that flexes under wind load and returns to shape. Unlike rigid aluminium that can bend permanently or snap at joints, glass fibre absorbs energy and recovers. The GRP whip at the top maintains the feather profile in variable and gusting conditions. |
| Wind Rating | Up to 45km/h | Rated for conditions that cover the vast majority of UK outdoor events, forecourts and roadside locations. The glass fibre pole and Aero-Light print manage wind load together rather than resisting it, keeping the display upright and the graphic visible. |
| Print Type | Aero-Light single-sided, full-colour dye-sublimation | Ink infused directly into the polyester fibres for vivid, durable colour that will not crack, peel or fade. The single-sided construction reduces flag weight and wind load, improving aerodynamic performance and pole longevity. A natural show-through on the reverse provides branded visibility from both directions. |
| Flag Fabric | Polyester | Durable, quick-drying and resistant to UV degradation. The fabric maintains its colour and shape through repeated outdoor use, rain and direct sunlight. |
| Base Type | Ground spike | Pushes into grass, turf or compacted earth. No tools, no weights, no floor plates. Provides a stable anchor point for the full 3.2m height on any soft terrain. For hard surfaces, the drive-on car base version is also available. |
| Total Kit Weight | 1.7kg | The complete kit including pole, flag, spike and carry bag weighs under 2kg. One person can carry it by hand to any installation point. The low weight also reduces shipping costs and makes repositioning during an event effortless. |
| Assembly | Tool-free, one person, under 2 minutes | Pole sections slot together, flag slides over the assembled pole, spike pushes into the ground. One person from bag to fully assembled display in under two minutes with no tools and no instructions. |
| Carry Bag | Soft carry bag included | The pole, flag and spike pack down into a compact soft bag for transport and storage. Fits in a car boot, a cupboard or a venue storage room. Keeps all components together between uses. |
| Printing Included | Yes, custom full-colour print in the price | Your artwork is printed onto the polyester flag and included. Artwork template provided 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. The graphic arrives ready to install with accurate colour reproduction across the full flag surface. |
| Replacement Graphics | Available on request | The pole and base are designed for long-term reuse across multiple campaigns. When your branding 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, drive-on car base, teardrop shape | Shorter flags for eye-level close-range use. The 5m for maximum long-distance visibility across large open sites. Drive-on base for tarmac and concrete. Teardrop shape for a wider, more rounded profile. |

FAQs
Questions About the 3.2m Glass Fibre Feather Flag
Q: Why is the pole glass fibre rather than aluminium?
A: Glass fibre is a high-performance composite that flexes under wind load and returns to its original shape. Aluminium is rigid, which means it transfers wind energy directly to the joints and the base. In sustained outdoor conditions, rigid poles stress, bend permanently and eventually fail at the connection points. Glass fibre absorbs the energy and recovers, which is why it is used in marine masts, fishing rods and aerospace components where resilience matters more than rigidity.
Q: Why is the flag single-sided rather than double-sided?
A: The Aero-Light single-sided construction is an aerodynamic performance choice. A double-sided flag requires an internal blackout liner, which adds weight, reduces fabric flexibility and increases the wind load on the pole. The single-sided print keeps the flag responsive, keeps the feather shape defined in gusting conditions and extends the working life of the pole. Your artwork is visible from both directions through a natural show-through on the reverse.
Q: What wind speed can this flag handle?
A: Rated to 45km/h (approximately 28mph, Beaufort 6). That covers the vast majority of conditions at UK outdoor events, forecourts and roadside locations. In severe weather or storm conditions, we recommend taking the flag down as a precaution, as you would with any outdoor display.
Q: What type of ground does the spike work on?
A: Grass, turf, compacted earth and most soft outdoor surfaces. Push the spike in by hand or foot and the flag is anchored. For hard surfaces like tarmac, concrete or car park forecourts, the drive-on car base version of this flag is available instead.
Q: Is the custom printing included in the price?
A: Yes. The price covers the complete kit: printed polyester feather flag, multi-section glass fibre pole with GRP whip, ground spike base and soft carry bag. You supply artwork using the template we send within 24 hours of ordering. No hidden charges.
Q: How long does one person take to set this up?
A: Under two minutes. The pole sections slot together by hand, the flag slides over the assembled pole and the spike pushes into the ground. No tools, no manual, no second person needed. The complete kit weighs just 1.7kg and packs into the included soft carry bag, so one person can carry it to the site and have the flag up almost immediately.
Q: What does the GRP whip do?
A: The glass-reinforced polymer whip sits at the top of the pole and maintains the feather flag's distinctive curved profile. Without it, the top of the flag would hang limp. The whip keeps the fabric taut and the shape visible in all conditions, giving the flag its characteristic motion and silhouette.
Q: Can I get a replacement flag when my campaign changes?
A: Yes. The glass fibre pole and ground spike are designed for long-term reuse across multiple campaigns. When your branding changes, the printed flag can be replaced without buying new hardware. Contact our team to find out more about replacement flag options.
Q: Is the 3.2m the right height for my location?
A: The 3.2m is the most versatile size in the range. It rises above vehicle rooflines and crowd height, making it effective on forecourts, at outdoor events and along roadsides. For close-range, eye-level branding at smaller events or entrances, the 2.3m is more appropriate. For maximum long-distance visibility across large open sites, the 5m delivers industry-leading height.
Q: What other flag shapes and base types are available?
A: The feather flag is available in 2.3m, 3.2m and 5m heights. A teardrop shape is also available for a wider, more rounded profile. Base options include the ground spike for soft terrain and the drive-on car base for hard surfaces. All use the same glass fibre pole construction and are rated to 45km/h.
