5m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Ground Spike and Custom Printing
At 5 metres tall, this feather flag delivers the kind of visual dominance that smaller flags simply cannot match. It is the professional's choice for festivals, large-scale outdoor events, car dealership forecourts and any environment where your brand needs to command attention from a distance. The glass fibre pole is engineered for aerodynamic resilience, flexing with the wind rather than resisting it, which means the flag stays upright and your branding stays visible in conditions up to 45km/h. The 690mm x 3860mm print area gives you nearly four metres of vertical branding space, printed single-sided in full colour, on a format that moves, catches the eye and draws foot traffic from hundreds of metres away.
Custom printing is included. Place your order, receive your artwork template, prepare your design and send it back. 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 before the flag leaves our facility.
The 5m Advantage: Why Height Changes Everything
- Visual dominance at distance: A 5-metre flag is visible above crowd lines, over vehicle roofs and across open event spaces. Where a 2m or 3m flag competes with head height and ground-level signage, a 5m flag operates above the noise. Your branding is the first thing people see when they approach the site.
- Glass fibre pole engineering: The sectional glass fibre pole is lighter, stronger and more flexible than aluminium alternatives. Where rigid aluminium poles transfer wind stress directly to the base and risk snapping under sustained load, glass fibre absorbs and distributes the force, allowing the flag to flex aerodynamically without structural failure. The integrated GRP whip provides the characteristic feather curve at the tip.
- 45km/h wind rating: Rated for Beaufort 6 conditions. The combination of glass fibre flexibility and aerodynamic flag shape means the system performs reliably in the gusting, unpredictable wind conditions that are a reality at UK outdoor events, coastal sites and exposed forecourts.
- Nearly 4 metres of vertical branding: The 690mm x 3860mm print area delivers almost four metres of continuous branded surface. At this scale, your logo, colours and messaging are legible from well beyond the immediate vicinity, turning the flag into a wayfinding beacon as much as a promotional display.
- Ground spike base for soft terrain: The steel ground spike drives into grass, soil, sand and soft ground, anchoring the flag firmly at outdoor events, festivals, sports days, agricultural shows and any location where the surface is natural rather than paved.
- One-person, 2-minute assembly at just 2.2kg: The entire kit weighs only 2.2kg. The sectional pole pushes together, slides into the flag's reinforced pocket and locks into the ground spike. One person, no tools, assembled in around 2 minutes. Takedown is just as fast, which matters when weather changes or an event wraps at short notice.
- Space-saving transport with soft carry bag included: The sectional pole and flag pack down into a compact soft carry bag included as standard. At 2.2kg total, you can carry it by hand, sling it over a shoulder or fit it into a car boot alongside the rest of your event kit without it taking up meaningful space.
- Precision-led 3 to 5 day production: This is not a rushed commodity print. The production window gives our team the time to perform accurate colour matching, precise hemming and correct pole-pocket construction, so the flag sits properly on the pole and your artwork looks exactly the way you designed it.
Where a 5m Feather Flag Establishes Event Authority
| Festivals, Outdoor Events and Agricultural Shows | A 5-metre flag rises above marquees, food stalls and crowd barriers. At large-scale outdoor events where dozens of brands compete for attention, this height gives you the visual authority to be seen first and found easily. Use it to mark your pitch, guide foot traffic or establish your presence from across the site. |
| Car Dealerships and Automotive Forecourts | The flag stands above vehicle roof lines, making your brand visible from the road to passing traffic and approaching customers. The ground spike anchors into grass verges and soft landscaping, and the 45km/h wind rating handles the exposed, open conditions typical of forecourt environments. |
| Sports Events and Race Days | Mark sponsor zones, registration areas, start and finish lines or spectator entrances. The 5-metre height is visible above temporary structures, barriers and crowd movement, keeping your branding prominent throughout the event. |
| University Open Days and Campus Events | Guide prospective students and visitors across large campus grounds. A 5-metre flag is visible from building entrances, car parks and pathways, functioning as both branding and wayfinding in one display. |
| Product Launches and Brand Activations | Create an immediate sense of scale and presence at outdoor product launches, pop-up activations and experiential marketing events. The movement of the flag in the wind adds dynamism that static signage cannot replicate. |
| Holiday Parks, Leisure Sites and Visitor Attractions | Mark entrances, activity zones and promotional areas across large leisure sites. The glass fibre pole handles coastal and exposed hilltop winds, and the ground spike works in the grass and soft ground typical of these environments. |

The Displaysense 5m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Ground Spike Base (FF5000SP) is a large-format outdoor promotional flag with a sectional glass fibre pole, integrated GRP whip, steel ground spike and single-sided custom-printed polyester flag. Total assembled height: 5000mm. Flag size: 690mm x 3860mm. Total weight: 2.2kg. Wind-rated to 45km/h. One-person assembly in around 2 minutes. Soft carry bag included. Custom printing included. Production lead time 3 to 5 working days from artwork approval. Suitable for festivals, car dealerships, outdoor events, sports days, university open days, product launches and visitor attractions. Also available in 3.2m and 2.3m heights, and with drive-on car base instead of ground spike. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
Static signage tells people where you are once they have already found you. A 5-metre feather flag tells them from across the field, over the car park or above the crowd line before they have even started looking. The 5m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag delivers visual dominance that ground-level displays cannot achieve. At this height, your branding operates above marquee rooflines, above vehicle canopies and above the heads of a moving crowd. It is the difference between being noticed and being searched for.
The glass fibre pole is the engineering at the centre of that performance. Where aluminium poles are rigid and transfer every gust directly into the base, glass fibre is designed to flex. It absorbs wind energy aerodynamically, allowing the flag to move with the conditions rather than fight them. That flex is what keeps the system upright and functional in winds up to 45km/h, which covers the exposed, unpredictable conditions that are standard at UK outdoor events, coastal forecourts and open agricultural showgrounds. The integrated GRP whip creates the characteristic feather curve at the tip, keeping the flag taut and the printed area visible even in sustained wind.
The movement itself is an advantage. A flag that ripples, arcs and catches the light draws the human eye in a way that a flat banner or static sign never will. At festivals and large-scale events where every brand is competing for attention simultaneously, that natural motion creates a visual beacon that works continuously without power, without lighting and without any ongoing effort from your team. The entire kit weighs just 2.2kg and assembles in around 2 minutes. Plant the ground spike, push the pole sections together, slide on the flag and your branding is working for you from the moment the first visitor arrives until the moment you take it down.
Your artwork is printed single-sided on durable polyester and produced within 3 to 5 working days of approval. That production window exists because precision matters at this scale. A 690mm x 3860mm flag with incorrect pole-pocket alignment, poor colour matching or uneven hemming is visible from a distance for all the wrong reasons. Our production timeline ensures every flag leaves the facility print-perfect and pole-ready.

Every specification below defines why the 5m flag delivers a level of visual dominance and aerodynamic resilience that smaller flags and rigid-pole alternatives cannot match. The glass fibre construction, 45km/h wind rating and nearly four metres of vertical branding space are deliberate engineering choices for businesses that need event authority at scale.
The ground spike base anchors the system into grass, soil, sand and other soft surfaces, making this the natural choice for festivals, agricultural shows, sports events, dealership verges and any outdoor site where the ground is natural rather than paved.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Assembled Height | 5000mm | Five metres of vertical presence. The flag rises above marquee rooflines, vehicle canopies and crowd lines, establishing visual dominance across large event spaces, forecourts and open-ground sites. Your branding is visible from hundreds of metres away. |
| Flag Size | 690mm (W) x 3860mm (H) | Nearly four metres of continuous vertical branding space. At this scale, logos, colours and messaging are legible from well beyond the immediate vicinity. The flag functions as both a promotional display and a wayfinding beacon. |
| Pole Material | Sectional glass fibre (GRP) | Glass fibre is lighter, stronger and more flexible than aluminium. Where rigid aluminium poles transfer wind stress to the base and risk failure under sustained load, glass fibre absorbs and distributes the force aerodynamically. The pole flexes with the wind rather than fighting it, which is what keeps the system upright in exposed conditions. |
| GRP Whip | Integrated flexible tip | The whip creates the characteristic feather curve at the top of the flag, keeping the printed area taut and visible even in sustained wind. It also prevents the flag from wrapping around the pole, ensuring your branding stays facing outward. |
| Wind Rating | Up to 45km/h (Beaufort 6) | Rated for strong breeze conditions. The combination of glass fibre flexibility and aerodynamic flag shape provides reliable performance in the gusting, changeable conditions that are standard at UK outdoor events, coastal sites and exposed forecourts. |

| Single-sided, full colour (included) | Custom artwork printed on one side of the flag. The image is visible from the printed side and shows through in reverse on the back. Printing is included in the price with no separate print order required. | |
| Artwork Review | Human-led | Our team reviews your artwork before production, checking resolution, colour profiles and layout against the 690mm x 3860mm template. If anything needs adjusting, they contact you directly before printing begins. |
| Lead Time | 3 to 5 working days from approval | A precision-led production window that ensures accurate colour reproduction, clean hemming and correct pole-pocket construction. At this flag scale, production quality is visible from a distance. The timeline exists to make sure it is visible for the right reasons. |
| Total Weight | 2.2kg | The complete kit weighs just 2.2kg, including pole, flag, whip and ground spike. Light enough for one person to carry by hand or sling over a shoulder. Practical for event teams managing multiple displays across a large site. |
| Assembly | Tool-free, one person, approx. 2 minutes | The sectional pole pushes together, slides into the flag's reinforced pocket and locks into the ground spike. One person, no tools, assembled in around 2 minutes. Takedown is just as fast. |
| Transport | Soft carry bag included | The pole sections, flag and ground spike pack down into a compact soft carry bag included as standard. Space-saving design fits easily into a car boot, storage cupboard or alongside other event kit. |

Questions About the 5m Glass Fibre Feather Flag
Q: Why choose a 5m flag over a smaller 3m or 2m option?
A: Height equals visibility. A 5-metre flag rises above marquee rooflines, vehicle canopies and crowd lines, which means your branding is visible from hundreds of metres away rather than only to people who are already standing next to it. At festivals, large events and open forecourts, the 5m height delivers the visual dominance needed to draw foot traffic from across the site.
Q: Why is the pole glass fibre instead of aluminium?
A: Glass fibre is engineered for aerodynamic resilience. It flexes with the wind rather than resisting it, absorbing and distributing gusts across the full length of the pole. Rigid aluminium poles transfer wind stress directly to the base and can snap under sustained load. Glass fibre delivers the combination of strength, flexibility and lightness that a 5-metre outdoor pole demands.
Q: What wind speed can this flag withstand?
A: The system is rated for winds up to 45km/h, which corresponds to Beaufort 6 (strong breeze). This covers the vast majority of conditions at UK outdoor events, including coastal sites, exposed forecourts and open agricultural showgrounds. In severe weather beyond this rating, take the flag down to protect the printed graphic and extend its working life.
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 sectional glass fibre pole, the GRP whip and the steel ground spike. You supply your artwork and our team handles the production.
Q: What is single-sided printing and will my branding show on both sides?
A: The artwork is printed on one side of the polyester flag. The image shows through in reverse on the back, so your branding is visible from both directions, though the reverse side appears as a mirror image with slightly reduced vibrancy. For events where the flag is primarily seen from one direction, single-sided printing delivers the sharpest, most saturated result.
Q: What surfaces does the ground spike work on?
A: The steel ground spike drives into grass, soil, sand and other soft surfaces. It is designed for outdoor events on natural ground. For hard surfaces such as tarmac, paving or concrete forecourts, the same flag is available with a drive-on car base instead.
Q: Can one person assemble this flag and how long does it take?
A: Yes. The entire kit weighs just 2.2kg and assembles in around 2 minutes. Push the sectional pole together, slide it into the flag's reinforced pocket and lock it into the ground spike. No tools required. Takedown is just as fast, which matters when weather turns or an event wraps at short notice.
Q: Does it come with a carry bag and how compact is it for transport?
A: Yes. A soft carry bag is included as standard. The sectional pole, flag and ground spike all pack down into the bag for space-saving transport. At 2.2kg total, you can carry it by hand, sling it over a shoulder or fit it into a car boot alongside other event kit without it taking up significant space.
Q: Why does production take 3 to 5 working days?
A: At this scale, production quality is visible from a distance. The 3 to 5 day window allows our team to perform accurate colour reproduction, precise hemming and correct pole-pocket construction before the flag ships. A flag with poor alignment, uneven edges or inaccurate colour undermines your brand at exactly the moment you are trying to establish event authority. The timeline exists to prevent that.
Q: Can I get a new printed flag for the same pole and spike when my branding changes?
A: Yes. The glass fibre pole and ground spike are reusable across multiple events and campaigns. When you need updated branding or a new message, get in touch with our team to arrange a new printed flag for the same hardware.
Q: What other heights and base types are available?
A: The feather flag is also available in 3.2m and 2.3m heights for smaller spaces. Base options include a ground spike for soft surfaces and a drive-on car base for hard surfaces and forecourt use. A teardrop flag shape is also available across the range for a tensioned silhouette that holds its shape in zero wind. All versions use the same glass fibre pole system and custom printing process.
Q: How do I send my artwork?
A: After placing your order, you receive an artwork template with full instructions for the 690mm x 3860mm print area. Prepare your design and email it back. Our team reviews your files and only begins production once the artwork is confirmed correct.
Q: Is this flag suitable for permanent outdoor installation?
A: The flag is designed for event use and daily deployment during trading hours. It performs reliably in winds up to 45km/h, but for maximum working life we recommend taking it down overnight and during severe weather. The quick assembly and takedown make daily deployment practical for dealerships, leisure sites and venues that use the flag as a regular part of their outdoor presence.

At 5 metres tall, this feather flag delivers the kind of visual dominance that smaller flags simply cannot match. It is the professional's choice for festivals, large-scale outdoor events, car dealership forecourts and any environment where your brand needs to command attention from a distance. The glass fibre pole is engineered for aerodynamic resilience, flexing with the wind rather than resisting it, which means the flag stays upright and your branding stays visible in conditions up to 45km/h.

The 5m Advantage: Why Height Changes Everything
- Visual dominance at distance: A 5-metre flag is visible above crowd lines, over vehicle roofs and across open event spaces. Where a 2m or 3m flag competes with head height and ground-level signage, a 5m flag operates above the noise. Your branding is the first thing people see when they approach the site.
- Glass fibre pole engineering: The sectional glass fibre pole is lighter, stronger and more flexible than aluminium alternatives. Where rigid aluminium poles transfer wind stress directly to the base and risk snapping under sustained load, glass fibre absorbs and distributes the force, allowing the flag to flex aerodynamically without structural failure. The integrated GRP whip provides the characteristic feather curve at the tip.
- 45km/h wind rating: Rated for Beaufort 6 conditions. The combination of glass fibre flexibility and aerodynamic flag shape means the system performs reliably in the gusting, unpredictable wind conditions that are a reality at UK outdoor events, coastal sites and exposed forecourts.
- Nearly 4 metres of vertical branding: The 690mm x 3860mm print area delivers almost four metres of continuous branded surface. At this scale, your logo, colours and messaging are legible from well beyond the immediate vicinity, turning the flag into a wayfinding beacon as much as a promotional display.
- Ground spike base for soft terrain: The steel ground spike drives into grass, soil, sand and soft ground, anchoring the flag firmly at outdoor events, festivals, sports days, agricultural shows and any location where the surface is natural rather than paved.
- One-person, 2-minute assembly at just 2.2kg: The entire kit weighs only 2.2kg. The sectional pole pushes together, slides into the flag's reinforced pocket and locks into the ground spike. One person, no tools, assembled in around 2 minutes. Takedown is just as fast, which matters when weather changes or an event wraps at short notice.
- Space-saving transport with soft carry bag included: The sectional pole and flag pack down into a compact soft carry bag included as standard. At 2.2kg total, you can carry it by hand, sling it over a shoulder or fit it into a car boot alongside the rest of your event kit without it taking up meaningful space.
- Precision-led 3 to 5 day production: This is not a rushed commodity print. The production window gives our team the time to perform accurate colour matching, precise hemming and correct pole-pocket construction, so the flag sits properly on the pole and your artwork looks exactly the way you designed it.
Where a 5m Feather Flag Establishes Event Authority
| Festivals, Outdoor Events and Agricultural Shows | A 5-metre flag rises above marquees, food stalls and crowd barriers. At large-scale outdoor events where dozens of brands compete for attention, this height gives you the visual authority to be seen first and found easily. Use it to mark your pitch, guide foot traffic or establish your presence from across the site. |
| Car Dealerships and Automotive Forecourts | The flag stands above vehicle roof lines, making your brand visible from the road to passing traffic and approaching customers. The ground spike anchors into grass verges and soft landscaping, and the 45km/h wind rating handles the exposed, open conditions typical of forecourt environments. |
| Sports Events and Race Days | Mark sponsor zones, registration areas, start and finish lines or spectator entrances. The 5-metre height is visible above temporary structures, barriers and crowd movement, keeping your branding prominent throughout the event. |
| University Open Days and Campus Events | Guide prospective students and visitors across large campus grounds. A 5-metre flag is visible from building entrances, car parks and pathways, functioning as both branding and wayfinding in one display. |
| Product Launches and Brand Activations | Create an immediate sense of scale and presence at outdoor product launches, pop-up activations and experiential marketing events. The movement of the flag in the wind adds dynamism that static signage cannot replicate. |
| Holiday Parks, Leisure Sites and Visitor Attractions | Mark entrances, activity zones and promotional areas across large leisure sites. The glass fibre pole handles coastal and exposed hilltop winds, and the ground spike works in the grass and soft ground typical of these environments. |

Description
Static signage tells people where you are once they have already found you. A 5-metre feather flag tells them from across the field, over the car park or above the crowd line before they have even started looking. The 5m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag delivers visual dominance that ground-level displays cannot achieve. At this height, your branding operates above marquee rooflines, above vehicle canopies and above the heads of a moving crowd. It is the difference between being noticed and being searched for.
The glass fibre pole is the engineering at the centre of that performance. Where aluminium poles are rigid and transfer every gust directly into the base, glass fibre is designed to flex. It absorbs wind energy aerodynamically, allowing the flag to move with the conditions rather than fight them. That flex is what keeps the system upright and functional in winds up to 45km/h, which covers the exposed, unpredictable conditions that are standard at UK outdoor events, coastal forecourts and open agricultural showgrounds. The integrated GRP whip creates the characteristic feather curve at the tip, keeping the flag taut and the printed area visible even in sustained wind.
The movement itself is an advantage. A flag that ripples, arcs and catches the light draws the human eye in a way that a flat banner or static sign never will. At festivals and large-scale events where every brand is competing for attention simultaneously, that natural motion creates a visual beacon that works continuously without power, without lighting and without any ongoing effort from your team. The entire kit weighs just 2.2kg and assembles in around 2 minutes. Plant the ground spike, push the pole sections together, slide on the flag and your branding is working for you from the moment the first visitor arrives until the moment you take it down.
Your artwork is printed single-sided on durable polyester and produced within 3 to 5 working days of approval. That production window exists because precision matters at this scale. A 690mm x 3860mm flag with incorrect pole-pocket alignment, poor colour matching or uneven hemming is visible from a distance for all the wrong reasons. Our production timeline ensures every flag leaves the facility print-perfect and pole-ready.

FAQs
Questions About the 5m Glass Fibre Feather Flag
Q: Why choose a 5m flag over a smaller 3m or 2m option?
A: Height equals visibility. A 5-metre flag rises above marquee rooflines, vehicle canopies and crowd lines, which means your branding is visible from hundreds of metres away rather than only to people who are already standing next to it. At festivals, large events and open forecourts, the 5m height delivers the visual dominance needed to draw foot traffic from across the site.
Q: Why is the pole glass fibre instead of aluminium?
A: Glass fibre is engineered for aerodynamic resilience. It flexes with the wind rather than resisting it, absorbing and distributing gusts across the full length of the pole. Rigid aluminium poles transfer wind stress directly to the base and can snap under sustained load. Glass fibre delivers the combination of strength, flexibility and lightness that a 5-metre outdoor pole demands.
Q: What wind speed can this flag withstand?
A: The system is rated for winds up to 45km/h, which corresponds to Beaufort 6 (strong breeze). This covers the vast majority of conditions at UK outdoor events, including coastal sites, exposed forecourts and open agricultural showgrounds. In severe weather beyond this rating, take the flag down to protect the printed graphic and extend its working life.
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 sectional glass fibre pole, the GRP whip and the steel ground spike. You supply your artwork and our team handles the production.
Q: What is single-sided printing and will my branding show on both sides?
A: The artwork is printed on one side of the polyester flag. The image shows through in reverse on the back, so your branding is visible from both directions, though the reverse side appears as a mirror image with slightly reduced vibrancy. For events where the flag is primarily seen from one direction, single-sided printing delivers the sharpest, most saturated result.
Q: What surfaces does the ground spike work on?
A: The steel ground spike drives into grass, soil, sand and other soft surfaces. It is designed for outdoor events on natural ground. For hard surfaces such as tarmac, paving or concrete forecourts, the same flag is available with a drive-on car base instead.
Q: Can one person assemble this flag and how long does it take?
A: Yes. The entire kit weighs just 2.2kg and assembles in around 2 minutes. Push the sectional pole together, slide it into the flag's reinforced pocket and lock it into the ground spike. No tools required. Takedown is just as fast, which matters when weather turns or an event wraps at short notice.
Q: Does it come with a carry bag and how compact is it for transport?
A: Yes. A soft carry bag is included as standard. The sectional pole, flag and ground spike all pack down into the bag for space-saving transport. At 2.2kg total, you can carry it by hand, sling it over a shoulder or fit it into a car boot alongside other event kit without it taking up significant space.
Q: Why does production take 3 to 5 working days?
A: At this scale, production quality is visible from a distance. The 3 to 5 day window allows our team to perform accurate colour reproduction, precise hemming and correct pole-pocket construction before the flag ships. A flag with poor alignment, uneven edges or inaccurate colour undermines your brand at exactly the moment you are trying to establish event authority. The timeline exists to prevent that.
Q: Can I get a new printed flag for the same pole and spike when my branding changes?
A: Yes. The glass fibre pole and ground spike are reusable across multiple events and campaigns. When you need updated branding or a new message, get in touch with our team to arrange a new printed flag for the same hardware.
Q: What other heights and base types are available?
A: The feather flag is also available in 3.2m and 2.3m heights for smaller spaces. Base options include a ground spike for soft surfaces and a drive-on car base for hard surfaces and forecourt use. A teardrop flag shape is also available across the range for a tensioned silhouette that holds its shape in zero wind. All versions use the same glass fibre pole system and custom printing process.
Q: How do I send my artwork?
A: After placing your order, you receive an artwork template with full instructions for the 690mm x 3860mm print area. Prepare your design and email it back. Our team reviews your files and only begins production once the artwork is confirmed correct.
Q: Is this flag suitable for permanent outdoor installation?
A: The flag is designed for event use and daily deployment during trading hours. It performs reliably in winds up to 45km/h, but for maximum working life we recommend taking it down overnight and during severe weather. The quick assembly and takedown make daily deployment practical for dealerships, leisure sites and venues that use the flag as a regular part of their outdoor presence.

5m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Ground Spike and Custom Printing
At 5 metres tall, this feather flag delivers the kind of visual dominance that smaller flags simply cannot match. It is the professional's choice for festivals, large-scale outdoor events, car dealership forecourts and any environment where your brand needs to command attention from a distance. The glass fibre pole is engineered for aerodynamic resilience, flexing with the wind rather than resisting it, which means the flag stays upright and your branding stays visible in conditions up to 45km/h. The 690mm x 3860mm print area gives you nearly four metres of vertical branding space, printed single-sided in full colour, on a format that moves, catches the eye and draws foot traffic from hundreds of metres away.
Custom printing is included. Place your order, receive your artwork template, prepare your design and send it back. 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 before the flag leaves our facility.
The 5m Advantage: Why Height Changes Everything
- Visual dominance at distance: A 5-metre flag is visible above crowd lines, over vehicle roofs and across open event spaces. Where a 2m or 3m flag competes with head height and ground-level signage, a 5m flag operates above the noise. Your branding is the first thing people see when they approach the site.
- Glass fibre pole engineering: The sectional glass fibre pole is lighter, stronger and more flexible than aluminium alternatives. Where rigid aluminium poles transfer wind stress directly to the base and risk snapping under sustained load, glass fibre absorbs and distributes the force, allowing the flag to flex aerodynamically without structural failure. The integrated GRP whip provides the characteristic feather curve at the tip.
- 45km/h wind rating: Rated for Beaufort 6 conditions. The combination of glass fibre flexibility and aerodynamic flag shape means the system performs reliably in the gusting, unpredictable wind conditions that are a reality at UK outdoor events, coastal sites and exposed forecourts.
- Nearly 4 metres of vertical branding: The 690mm x 3860mm print area delivers almost four metres of continuous branded surface. At this scale, your logo, colours and messaging are legible from well beyond the immediate vicinity, turning the flag into a wayfinding beacon as much as a promotional display.
- Ground spike base for soft terrain: The steel ground spike drives into grass, soil, sand and soft ground, anchoring the flag firmly at outdoor events, festivals, sports days, agricultural shows and any location where the surface is natural rather than paved.
- One-person, 2-minute assembly at just 2.2kg: The entire kit weighs only 2.2kg. The sectional pole pushes together, slides into the flag's reinforced pocket and locks into the ground spike. One person, no tools, assembled in around 2 minutes. Takedown is just as fast, which matters when weather changes or an event wraps at short notice.
- Space-saving transport with soft carry bag included: The sectional pole and flag pack down into a compact soft carry bag included as standard. At 2.2kg total, you can carry it by hand, sling it over a shoulder or fit it into a car boot alongside the rest of your event kit without it taking up meaningful space.
- Precision-led 3 to 5 day production: This is not a rushed commodity print. The production window gives our team the time to perform accurate colour matching, precise hemming and correct pole-pocket construction, so the flag sits properly on the pole and your artwork looks exactly the way you designed it.
Where a 5m Feather Flag Establishes Event Authority
| Festivals, Outdoor Events and Agricultural Shows | A 5-metre flag rises above marquees, food stalls and crowd barriers. At large-scale outdoor events where dozens of brands compete for attention, this height gives you the visual authority to be seen first and found easily. Use it to mark your pitch, guide foot traffic or establish your presence from across the site. |
| Car Dealerships and Automotive Forecourts | The flag stands above vehicle roof lines, making your brand visible from the road to passing traffic and approaching customers. The ground spike anchors into grass verges and soft landscaping, and the 45km/h wind rating handles the exposed, open conditions typical of forecourt environments. |
| Sports Events and Race Days | Mark sponsor zones, registration areas, start and finish lines or spectator entrances. The 5-metre height is visible above temporary structures, barriers and crowd movement, keeping your branding prominent throughout the event. |
| University Open Days and Campus Events | Guide prospective students and visitors across large campus grounds. A 5-metre flag is visible from building entrances, car parks and pathways, functioning as both branding and wayfinding in one display. |
| Product Launches and Brand Activations | Create an immediate sense of scale and presence at outdoor product launches, pop-up activations and experiential marketing events. The movement of the flag in the wind adds dynamism that static signage cannot replicate. |
| Holiday Parks, Leisure Sites and Visitor Attractions | Mark entrances, activity zones and promotional areas across large leisure sites. The glass fibre pole handles coastal and exposed hilltop winds, and the ground spike works in the grass and soft ground typical of these environments. |

The Displaysense 5m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Ground Spike Base (FF5000SP) is a large-format outdoor promotional flag with a sectional glass fibre pole, integrated GRP whip, steel ground spike and single-sided custom-printed polyester flag. Total assembled height: 5000mm. Flag size: 690mm x 3860mm. Total weight: 2.2kg. Wind-rated to 45km/h. One-person assembly in around 2 minutes. Soft carry bag included. Custom printing included. Production lead time 3 to 5 working days from artwork approval. Suitable for festivals, car dealerships, outdoor events, sports days, university open days, product launches and visitor attractions. Also available in 3.2m and 2.3m heights, and with drive-on car base instead of ground spike. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
Static signage tells people where you are once they have already found you. A 5-metre feather flag tells them from across the field, over the car park or above the crowd line before they have even started looking. The 5m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag delivers visual dominance that ground-level displays cannot achieve. At this height, your branding operates above marquee rooflines, above vehicle canopies and above the heads of a moving crowd. It is the difference between being noticed and being searched for.
The glass fibre pole is the engineering at the centre of that performance. Where aluminium poles are rigid and transfer every gust directly into the base, glass fibre is designed to flex. It absorbs wind energy aerodynamically, allowing the flag to move with the conditions rather than fight them. That flex is what keeps the system upright and functional in winds up to 45km/h, which covers the exposed, unpredictable conditions that are standard at UK outdoor events, coastal forecourts and open agricultural showgrounds. The integrated GRP whip creates the characteristic feather curve at the tip, keeping the flag taut and the printed area visible even in sustained wind.
The movement itself is an advantage. A flag that ripples, arcs and catches the light draws the human eye in a way that a flat banner or static sign never will. At festivals and large-scale events where every brand is competing for attention simultaneously, that natural motion creates a visual beacon that works continuously without power, without lighting and without any ongoing effort from your team. The entire kit weighs just 2.2kg and assembles in around 2 minutes. Plant the ground spike, push the pole sections together, slide on the flag and your branding is working for you from the moment the first visitor arrives until the moment you take it down.
Your artwork is printed single-sided on durable polyester and produced within 3 to 5 working days of approval. That production window exists because precision matters at this scale. A 690mm x 3860mm flag with incorrect pole-pocket alignment, poor colour matching or uneven hemming is visible from a distance for all the wrong reasons. Our production timeline ensures every flag leaves the facility print-perfect and pole-ready.

Every specification below defines why the 5m flag delivers a level of visual dominance and aerodynamic resilience that smaller flags and rigid-pole alternatives cannot match. The glass fibre construction, 45km/h wind rating and nearly four metres of vertical branding space are deliberate engineering choices for businesses that need event authority at scale.
The ground spike base anchors the system into grass, soil, sand and other soft surfaces, making this the natural choice for festivals, agricultural shows, sports events, dealership verges and any outdoor site where the ground is natural rather than paved.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Assembled Height | 5000mm | Five metres of vertical presence. The flag rises above marquee rooflines, vehicle canopies and crowd lines, establishing visual dominance across large event spaces, forecourts and open-ground sites. Your branding is visible from hundreds of metres away. |
| Flag Size | 690mm (W) x 3860mm (H) | Nearly four metres of continuous vertical branding space. At this scale, logos, colours and messaging are legible from well beyond the immediate vicinity. The flag functions as both a promotional display and a wayfinding beacon. |
| Pole Material | Sectional glass fibre (GRP) | Glass fibre is lighter, stronger and more flexible than aluminium. Where rigid aluminium poles transfer wind stress to the base and risk failure under sustained load, glass fibre absorbs and distributes the force aerodynamically. The pole flexes with the wind rather than fighting it, which is what keeps the system upright in exposed conditions. |
| GRP Whip | Integrated flexible tip | The whip creates the characteristic feather curve at the top of the flag, keeping the printed area taut and visible even in sustained wind. It also prevents the flag from wrapping around the pole, ensuring your branding stays facing outward. |
| Wind Rating | Up to 45km/h (Beaufort 6) | Rated for strong breeze conditions. The combination of glass fibre flexibility and aerodynamic flag shape provides reliable performance in the gusting, changeable conditions that are standard at UK outdoor events, coastal sites and exposed forecourts. |
| Base | Steel ground spike | Drives into grass, soil, sand and soft ground. Anchors the flag firmly for the duration of an event without the need for sandbags, water weights or hard-surface fixings. Ideal for festivals, sports fields, agricultural shows and dealership verges. |
| Flag Material | Polyester | Durable, lightweight polyester that holds its shape, resists fraying and maintains print vibrancy through repeated outdoor use, transport and storage. |
| Single-sided, full colour (included) | Custom artwork printed on one side of the flag. The image is visible from the printed side and shows through in reverse on the back. Printing is included in the price with no separate print order required. | |
| Artwork Review | Human-led | Our team reviews your artwork before production, checking resolution, colour profiles and layout against the 690mm x 3860mm template. If anything needs adjusting, they contact you directly before printing begins. |
| Lead Time | 3 to 5 working days from approval | A precision-led production window that ensures accurate colour reproduction, clean hemming and correct pole-pocket construction.

5m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag with Ground Spike and Custom Printing
At 5 metres tall, this feather flag delivers the kind of visual dominance that smaller flags simply cannot match. It is the professional's choice for festivals, large-scale outdoor events, car dealership forecourts and any environment where your brand needs to command attention from a distance. The glass fibre pole is engineered for aerodynamic resilience, flexing with the wind rather than resisting it, which means the flag stays upright and your branding stays visible in conditions up to 45km/h. The 690mm x 3860mm print area gives you nearly four metres of vertical branding space, printed single-sided in full colour, on a format that moves, catches the eye and draws foot traffic from hundreds of metres away.
Custom printing is included. Place your order, receive your artwork template, prepare your design and send it back. 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 before the flag leaves our facility.
The 5m Advantage: Why Height Changes Everything
- Visual dominance at distance: A 5-metre flag is visible above crowd lines, over vehicle roofs and across open event spaces. Where a 2m or 3m flag competes with head height and ground-level signage, a 5m flag operates above the noise. Your branding is the first thing people see when they approach the site.
- Glass fibre pole engineering: The sectional glass fibre pole is lighter, stronger and more flexible than aluminium alternatives. Where rigid aluminium poles transfer wind stress directly to the base and risk snapping under sustained load, glass fibre absorbs and distributes the force, allowing the flag to flex aerodynamically without structural failure. The integrated GRP whip provides the characteristic feather curve at the tip.
- 45km/h wind rating: Rated for Beaufort 6 conditions. The combination of glass fibre flexibility and aerodynamic flag shape means the system performs reliably in the gusting, unpredictable wind conditions that are a reality at UK outdoor events, coastal sites and exposed forecourts.
- Nearly 4 metres of vertical branding: The 690mm x 3860mm print area delivers almost four metres of continuous branded surface. At this scale, your logo, colours and messaging are legible from well beyond the immediate vicinity, turning the flag into a wayfinding beacon as much as a promotional display.
- Ground spike base for soft terrain: The steel ground spike drives into grass, soil, sand and soft ground, anchoring the flag firmly at outdoor events, festivals, sports days, agricultural shows and any location where the surface is natural rather than paved.
- One-person, 2-minute assembly at just 2.2kg: The entire kit weighs only 2.2kg. The sectional pole pushes together, slides into the flag's reinforced pocket and locks into the ground spike. One person, no tools, assembled in around 2 minutes. Takedown is just as fast, which matters when weather changes or an event wraps at short notice.
- Space-saving transport with soft carry bag included: The sectional pole and flag pack down into a compact soft carry bag included as standard. At 2.2kg total, you can carry it by hand, sling it over a shoulder or fit it into a car boot alongside the rest of your event kit without it taking up meaningful space.
- Precision-led 3 to 5 day production: This is not a rushed commodity print. The production window gives our team the time to perform accurate colour matching, precise hemming and correct pole-pocket construction, so the flag sits properly on the pole and your artwork looks exactly the way you designed it.
Where a 5m Feather Flag Establishes Event Authority
| Festivals, Outdoor Events and Agricultural Shows | A 5-metre flag rises above marquees, food stalls and crowd barriers. At large-scale outdoor events where dozens of brands compete for attention, this height gives you the visual authority to be seen first and found easily. Use it to mark your pitch, guide foot traffic or establish your presence from across the site. |
| Car Dealerships and Automotive Forecourts | The flag stands above vehicle roof lines, making your brand visible from the road to passing traffic and approaching customers. The ground spike anchors into grass verges and soft landscaping, and the 45km/h wind rating handles the exposed, open conditions typical of forecourt environments. |
| Sports Events and Race Days | Mark sponsor zones, registration areas, start and finish lines or spectator entrances. The 5-metre height is visible above temporary structures, barriers and crowd movement, keeping your branding prominent throughout the event. |
| University Open Days and Campus Events | Guide prospective students and visitors across large campus grounds. A 5-metre flag is visible from building entrances, car parks and pathways, functioning as both branding and wayfinding in one display. |
| Product Launches and Brand Activations | Create an immediate sense of scale and presence at outdoor product launches, pop-up activations and experiential marketing events. The movement of the flag in the wind adds dynamism that static signage cannot replicate. |
| Holiday Parks, Leisure Sites and Visitor Attractions | Mark entrances, activity zones and promotional areas across large leisure sites. The glass fibre pole handles coastal and exposed hilltop winds, and the ground spike works in the grass and soft ground typical of these environments. |

Description
Static signage tells people where you are once they have already found you. A 5-metre feather flag tells them from across the field, over the car park or above the crowd line before they have even started looking. The 5m Single-Sided Glass Fibre Feather Flag delivers visual dominance that ground-level displays cannot achieve. At this height, your branding operates above marquee rooflines, above vehicle canopies and above the heads of a moving crowd. It is the difference between being noticed and being searched for.
The glass fibre pole is the engineering at the centre of that performance. Where aluminium poles are rigid and transfer every gust directly into the base, glass fibre is designed to flex. It absorbs wind energy aerodynamically, allowing the flag to move with the conditions rather than fight them. That flex is what keeps the system upright and functional in winds up to 45km/h, which covers the exposed, unpredictable conditions that are standard at UK outdoor events, coastal forecourts and open agricultural showgrounds. The integrated GRP whip creates the characteristic feather curve at the tip, keeping the flag taut and the printed area visible even in sustained wind.
The movement itself is an advantage. A flag that ripples, arcs and catches the light draws the human eye in a way that a flat banner or static sign never will. At festivals and large-scale events where every brand is competing for attention simultaneously, that natural motion creates a visual beacon that works continuously without power, without lighting and without any ongoing effort from your team. The entire kit weighs just 2.2kg and assembles in around 2 minutes. Plant the ground spike, push the pole sections together, slide on the flag and your branding is working for you from the moment the first visitor arrives until the moment you take it down.
Your artwork is printed single-sided on durable polyester and produced within 3 to 5 working days of approval. That production window exists because precision matters at this scale. A 690mm x 3860mm flag with incorrect pole-pocket alignment, poor colour matching or uneven hemming is visible from a distance for all the wrong reasons. Our production timeline ensures every flag leaves the facility print-perfect and pole-ready.

Specifications
Every specification below defines why the 5m flag delivers a level of visual dominance and aerodynamic resilience that smaller flags and rigid-pole alternatives cannot match. The glass fibre construction, 45km/h wind rating and nearly four metres of vertical branding space are deliberate engineering choices for businesses that need event authority at scale.
The ground spike base anchors the system into grass, soil, sand and other soft surfaces, making this the natural choice for festivals, agricultural shows, sports events, dealership verges and any outdoor site where the ground is natural rather than paved.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Assembled Height | 5000mm | Five metres of vertical presence. The flag rises above marquee rooflines, vehicle canopies and crowd lines, establishing visual dominance across large event spaces, forecourts and open-ground sites. Your branding is visible from hundreds of metres away. |
| Flag Size | 690mm (W) x 3860mm (H) | Nearly four metres of continuous vertical branding space. At this scale, logos, colours and messaging are legible from well beyond the immediate vicinity. The flag functions as both a promotional display and a wayfinding beacon. |
| Pole Material | Sectional glass fibre (GRP) | Glass fibre is lighter, stronger and more flexible than aluminium. Where rigid aluminium poles transfer wind stress to the base and risk failure under sustained load, glass fibre absorbs and distributes the force aerodynamically. The pole flexes with the wind rather than fighting it, which is what keeps the system upright in exposed conditions. |
| GRP Whip | Integrated flexible tip | The whip creates the characteristic feather curve at the top of the flag, keeping the printed area taut and visible even in sustained wind. It also prevents the flag from wrapping around the pole, ensuring your branding stays facing outward. |
| Wind Rating | Up to 45km/h (Beaufort 6) | Rated for strong breeze conditions. The combination of glass fibre flexibility and aerodynamic flag shape provides reliable performance in the gusting, changeable conditions that are standard at UK outdoor events, coastal sites and exposed forecourts. |
| Base | Steel ground spike | Drives into grass, soil, sand and soft ground. Anchors the flag firmly for the duration of an event without the need for sandbags, water weights or hard-surface fixings. Ideal for festivals, sports fields, agricultural shows and dealership verges. |
| Flag Material | Polyester | Durable, lightweight polyester that holds its shape, resists fraying and maintains print vibrancy through repeated outdoor use, transport and storage. |
| Single-sided, full colour (included) | Custom artwork printed on one side of the flag. The image is visible from the printed side and shows through in reverse on the back. Printing is included in the price with no separate print order required. | |
| Artwork Review | Human-led | Our team reviews your artwork before production, checking resolution, colour profiles and layout against the 690mm x 3860mm template. If anything needs adjusting, they contact you directly before printing begins. |
| Lead Time | 3 to 5 working days from approval | A precision-led production window that ensures accurate colour reproduction, clean hemming and correct pole-pocket construction. At this flag scale, production quality is visible from a distance. The timeline exists to make sure it is visible for the right reasons. |
| Total Weight | 2.2kg | The complete kit weighs just 2.2kg, including pole, flag, whip and ground spike. Light enough for one person to carry by hand or sling over a shoulder. Practical for event teams managing multiple displays across a large site. |
| Assembly | Tool-free, one person, approx. 2 minutes | The sectional pole pushes together, slides into the flag's reinforced pocket and locks into the ground spike. One person, no tools, assembled in around 2 minutes. Takedown is just as fast. |
| Transport | Soft carry bag included | The pole sections, flag and ground spike pack down into a compact soft carry bag included as standard. Space-saving design fits easily into a car boot, storage cupboard or alongside other event kit. |
| Delivery | Free standard UK mainland | Standard delivery is free on every order. Contact us for delivery timing on multi-flag orders or event-critical deadlines. |
| Also Available | 3.2m, 2.3m heights; drive-on car base; teardrop shape | Smaller heights for tighter spaces. Drive-on car base for forecourt use on hard surfaces. Teardrop shape for a different silhouette. All use the same glass fibre pole system and custom printing process. |

FAQs
Questions About the 5m Glass Fibre Feather Flag
Q: Why choose a 5m flag over a smaller 3m or 2m option?
A: Height equals visibility. A 5-metre flag rises above marquee rooflines, vehicle canopies and crowd lines, which means your branding is visible from hundreds of metres away rather than only to people who are already standing next to it. At festivals, large events and open forecourts, the 5m height delivers the visual dominance needed to draw foot traffic from across the site.
Q: Why is the pole glass fibre instead of aluminium?
A: Glass fibre is engineered for aerodynamic resilience. It flexes with the wind rather than resisting it, absorbing and distributing gusts across the full length of the pole. Rigid aluminium poles transfer wind stress directly to the base and can snap under sustained load. Glass fibre delivers the combination of strength, flexibility and lightness that a 5-metre outdoor pole demands.
Q: What wind speed can this flag withstand?
A: The system is rated for winds up to 45km/h, which corresponds to Beaufort 6 (strong breeze). This covers the vast majority of conditions at UK outdoor events, including coastal sites, exposed forecourts and open agricultural showgrounds. In severe weather beyond this rating, take the flag down to protect the printed graphic and extend its working life.
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 sectional glass fibre pole, the GRP whip and the steel ground spike. You supply your artwork and our team handles the production.
Q: What is single-sided printing and will my branding show on both sides?
A: The artwork is printed on one side of the polyester flag. The image shows through in reverse on the back, so your branding is visible from both directions, though the reverse side appears as a mirror image with slightly reduced vibrancy. For events where the flag is primarily seen from one direction, single-sided printing delivers the sharpest, most saturated result.
Q: What surfaces does the ground spike work on?
A: The steel ground spike drives into grass, soil, sand and other soft surfaces. It is designed for outdoor events on natural ground. For hard surfaces such as tarmac, paving or concrete forecourts, the same flag is available with a drive-on car base instead.
Q: Can one person assemble this flag and how long does it take?
A: Yes. The entire kit weighs just 2.2kg and assembles in around 2 minutes. Push the sectional pole together, slide it into the flag's reinforced pocket and lock it into the ground spike. No tools required. Takedown is just as fast, which matters when weather turns or an event wraps at short notice.
Q: Does it come with a carry bag and how compact is it for transport?
A: Yes. A soft carry bag is included as standard. The sectional pole, flag and ground spike all pack down into the bag for space-saving transport. At 2.2kg total, you can carry it by hand, sling it over a shoulder or fit it into a car boot alongside other event kit without it taking up significant space.
Q: Why does production take 3 to 5 working days?
A: At this scale, production quality is visible from a distance. The 3 to 5 day window allows our team to perform accurate colour reproduction, precise hemming and correct pole-pocket construction before the flag ships. A flag with poor alignment, uneven edges or inaccurate colour undermines your brand at exactly the moment you are trying to establish event authority. The timeline exists to prevent that.
Q: Can I get a new printed flag for the same pole and spike when my branding changes?
A: Yes. The glass fibre pole and ground spike are reusable across multiple events and campaigns. When you need updated branding or a new message, get in touch with our team to arrange a new printed flag for the same hardware.
Q: What other heights and base types are available?
A: The feather flag is also available in 3.2m and 2.3m heights for smaller spaces. Base options include a ground spike for soft surfaces and a drive-on car base for hard surfaces and forecourt use. A teardrop flag shape is also available across the range for a tensioned silhouette that holds its shape in zero wind. All versions use the same glass fibre pole system and custom printing process.
Q: How do I send my artwork?
A: After placing your order, you receive an artwork template with full instructions for the 690mm x 3860mm print area. Prepare your design and email it back. Our team reviews your files and only begins production once the artwork is confirmed correct.
Q: Is this flag suitable for permanent outdoor installation?
A: The flag is designed for event use and daily deployment during trading hours. It performs reliably in winds up to 45km/h, but for maximum working life we recommend taking it down overnight and during severe weather. The quick assembly and takedown make daily deployment practical for dealerships, leisure sites and venues that use the flag as a regular part of their outdoor presence.
