X-Base for Falcon® & Sunbird Flags (Base Only)

The cross base on its own: four steel prongs with a socket at the center that the bottom pole section drops into. No pole set, no graphic. Order it when a flag has to stand somewhere you cannot put a spike — a parking lot, a sidewalk, a show floor, a gym, a lobby.

An X base resists the flag's load on the surface rather than in the ground, so weight is what keeps it down. Indoors that is rarely a problem. Outdoors on a breezy day, set a water bag over the center: it adds about 24 lb of ballast directly over the point the pole stands in, which is where it does the most good.

Frequently asked questions

Does this include the poles?
No. This is the base by itself. The complete stands, with poles and a carry bag, are listed separately by flag size.

Will it hold a 17 ft. flag outside?
With a water bag on it, on a calm to light-wind day, yes. The flags themselves are rated to 18–23 mph; past that take the flag down whatever the base.

Can I stake it as well?
On grass you would be better off with the spike base, which is built for it and costs less.

Spike base or X base?
Spike for soft ground, X base for hard surfaces. If the flag travels between the two, buy both bases and one pole set.
