Large Falcon®/Sunbird Flag - Spike Base (Stand Only)

Five aluminum pole sections, a steel spike base and a carry bag — the stand for the 14 ft. Falcon and the 12 ft. Sunbird, sold without a graphic. These are the sizes used to mark a place rather than decorate one: a dealership frontage, a race start, a sponsor line down the side of a field.

At 14 feet the spike base stops being a preference and starts being the sensible choice outdoors. It transfers the load into the ground, and its swivel head lets the flag turn downwind rather than being levered sideways. Expect to need a mallet for the spike in dry or compacted ground.

Which flags this fits

• 14 ft. Large Falcon® feather flag

Raising a 14 ft. flag

Assemble the pole on the ground, slide the graphic on, then lift the whole thing onto the base already staked in position. Trying to stake the base with the flag attached is how poles get bent. A second pair of hands is worth having, though one person can manage it in still air.

Frequently asked questions

Does this include a flag?
No. Poles, base and bag only. A 14 ft. Falcon or 12 ft. Sunbird graphic you already own will fit this pole set.

Can I use an X base at this height?
Outdoors, only weighted, and it is still the weaker option. The X base version of this stand is listed separately and is the right choice for hard surfaces, where a spike is not possible at all.

How much wind can it take?
18–23 mph. A flag this tall catches considerably more wind than a short one, so take it down ahead of weather rather than after it.

I only broke the base.
The spike base is sold on its own. Order the part instead of the whole stand.
