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

The large stand supplied with a four-pronged steel X base: five aluminum pole sections, the base and a carry bag, no graphic. This is the configuration for a 14 ft. Falcon or 12 ft. Sunbird standing on something you cannot drive a spike into — a parking lot, a plaza, a loading apron, an arena floor.

Be honest with yourself about weight before ordering this for outdoor use. A flag this tall on an unweighted surface base will not stay upright in a breeze. Plan on a water bag over the center of the base, or a pair of sandbags on opposite prongs, every time it goes up outside.

Which flags this fits

• 14 ft. Large Falcon® feather flag
• 12 ft. Large Sunbird teardrop flag

Both use a 16.0 mm base fitting. The small, medium and extra-large flags take different pole sets and are listed separately.

Setting it up on hard ground

Put the base down first, weight it, then assemble the pole on the ground, slide the graphic on and lift the pole into the base. Lifting a 14 ft. assembled flag into an unweighted base is how the whole thing goes over. One person can do it in still air; two is easier.

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.

What should I use to weight it?
A water bag made for flag X bases drops over the center and adds about 24 lbs filled. Sandbags on opposite prongs work too. Something heavy on one prong does not.

Would a spike base be better?
In grass or soft ground, yes, clearly — and that version of this stand is listed separately. On asphalt or indoors a spike is not an option at all, which is what this base is for.

I only need the base.
The X base is sold on its own. Order the part rather than the whole stand.
