Holiday Hours

Winter Flag Care

With freezing rain in today’s forecast here is a reminder of how to care for your flag in the Winter months.

 

To keep your Canadian flag looking  bright and beautiful take it down from time to time. If you are expecting an ice storm or a winter blizzard and your flag will not be seen, take it down to avoid any damage to the flag.  By taking your flag down in cold or poor weather it will help the flag to last longer.

From time to time inspect your flag and check it for fraying or loose ends, small holes or rips and tears. We are available to perform flag repairs for a low cost.

Always inspect your flag to be sure it is not catching on any items such as trees or roof lines as that will further accelerate the deterioration of the flag.

Flags can be hand washed in cold water if necessary and hung on the pole damp to quickly dry.  Wrinkled nylon flags can be ironed at the lowest/delicate setting .

Getting your Flagpole Ready For Winter

As the days are getting shorter and the nights are cooler we know Winter will be here before we know it.

Before the snow and freezing temperatures arrive is a great time to have a look over your flagpole and check the rope for fraying or damage.  We recommend changing the rope once a year to avoid the service costs of a broken rope.  Give us a call and we can cut your rope to size for $.40 a foot.
