The Number 1 question we are asked is “what size flag should I buy?”. The size of the flagpole helps determine the correct flag sizing for the flag.

5’ FLAGPOLE = 24”X48” (2’X4’) OR 27”X54” (2.25’X4.5’) FLAG
18’ FLAGPOLE = 27”X54” (2.25‘X4.5’) FLAG

Ever wonder what the difference is between an Internal and External halyard on a flagpole?
An External Halyard Flagpole System places the rope on the outside of the flagpole. The rope is exposed on the outside of the flagpole and travels through the truck at the top of the flagpole. An external cleat allows the halyard to be tied off at about 4 1/2′ from the base of the flagpole. This enables ease of operation allowing the flag to be displayed and move up and/or down as required.
The Internal Halyard Flagpole System conceals the rope on the inside of the flagpole. Internal Halyard flagpoles are more expensive than external halyard flagpoles but they offer a more streamlined look and security. The rope is in the inside of the flagpole and travels up and out of the truck at the top of the flagpole. The rope is secured near the bottom of the flagpole with a cam cleat . The rigging is accessible and controlled after unlocking an access door.

Happy Pride Month 2024. We have a great selection of Pride flags available online or instore at our Barrie or Thornton location.
With the recent passing of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney we have had many questions regarding putting the Canadian flag at half-mast.
Canadian Heritage notes that “The half-masting of national flags is a well-established procedure whereby countries bestow an honour and express a collective sense of sorrow. Given that such flags are recognized as paramount symbols of their nations, the act of half-masting is a dramatic visual statement that speaks to the sense of loss that is shared by all their citizens.
When putting the flag to half-mast the centre of the flag should be exactly half-way down the mast. When hoisted or lowered from half-mast position, a flag should be first raised to the mast head”
Our 176 Saunders Rd, Barrie location is often referred to as our Head Office/Factory location.
