While the only limit to using flags indoors is the ceiling you’re displaying it in, choosing the right flag base is extremely important. Some bases are simply not suitable for indoor use. The following flag bases are recommended for using with flags indoors: Small or large crossbase. The crossbase is a neat lightweight base that suits all flag types. These can be coupled with a weighted ring for extra stability – but we recommend displaying these flags either to the side or back of your display set up – just so the base doesn’t get in the way of people walking. Weighted square base. A slightly sturdier solution to the crossbase. This is more suited for displaying flags at the forefront of your stand – the extra weight on the base will prevent any knocks or bumps from toppling the flag over. Drive on foot. Popular with garages and indoor car shows. As the name suggests, this base requires a car to have one of its tyres parked over it to keep the flag in place. Matching the right base to the right flag For small and medium flags, the small cross base is suitable to support your flag. For use outdoors, just add a weighted ring. A ground spike is also ideal for outdoor use in soft ground, or a 400mm weighted base for use on flat, even surfaces. For large and extra large sized flags, a large cross base will be suitable. Again, a weighted ring can be added for extra support when using outdoors. Other bases may be available on request – so just give us a call to find out! Final thoughts Decide on a shape that takes your preference. Think about what you want to display on your flag – this should help decide what shape to choose. Decide what size you want to go for. Is your event indoors? Think about height restrictions. Now pick a suitable flag base to ensure your flag sets up and stays up all day long. Final step?
