5.1 Can flagpoles be delivered in two parts?


Yes – for a surcharge of EUR 59 the pole is divided and can be firmly rejoined after delivery using a plug-in sleeve. Once assembled, it is barely visible from the outside that the pole is in two parts.

5.3 Do you also supply aluminium maypoles or guild poles?


Yes, we are happy to prepare an individual quote on request – just give us a call. The maypole, also known as the guild pole, has been a tradition since the 16th century. The pictorial symbols and "Taferl" boards bearing the guild emblems of the various local craftsmen were only added in the 18th century, and are mostly maintained by associations of local craftspeople and clubs. At the May Day dance or the guild festival, the maypole or guild pole is lowered to the ground and decorated with the wreath and the guild emblems of the local craft businesses and clubs. Then comes the task of hauling the pole, adorned with all its boards and the wreath, back from the horizontal into the vertical. Early literature records that guild poles were first erected around 1585 in the Westphalia region. Today they stand again in many federal states, with the tradition of the "maypole" certainly strongest in Bavaria. Guild pole / maypole as a symbol of village community. Happily, there are still a number of municipalities and towns with a strong sense of tradition, so that the guild pole or maypole not only presents part of the local crafts and trades but also serves as a symbol of (village) community.

5.7 Do you produce particularly hard-wearing flag fabric?


below we briefly introduce our new flag fabric SFS Meshpoly. Material: SFS Meshpoly, 110 g/m², high-grade knitted polyester, 100% branded polyester, special polyester mesh with increased wind permeability. Finishing: standard would be heading tape + carabiners, or eyelets, or rope + rope loop on the pole side, all other edges unhemmed, hot-cut only. For outrigger poles, of course, e.g. with a hollow hem of heading tape along the top edge. Printing: ideally suited to both screen printing and digital printing of flags. Use: flags, banners, tensioned banners etc. outdoors in high-wind zones. This fabric is gradually replacing the 155 g/m² woven spun polyester flag fabric. With almost 50% air permeability, the service life of the flags increases. This achieves usability similar to spun polyester – but with several further advantages: - knitted, not woven, so it does not soak up rain, stays light and flies freely - the perforated structure with unhemmed edges prevents fraying and looks better - perfect print results, no loss of detail when viewed on the flagpole - also ideal for use with beach flags
