Feather Flag Bases

2 MIN READ
Level: basic

Feather flags are a versatile signage solution for events, trade shows, open houses and directional displays. The right feather flag base depends on where you’ll use your flag, how tall it is and how much stability you need.

When ordering one- or two-sided razor feather flags, sabre feather flags or teardrop feather flags, you can choose from several feather flag bases and hardware options for easy setup.

Which feather flag base should I use?

Use this quick guide to choose the right base for your display:

  • Ground Spike Base: Best for outdoor use on grass or soil.
  • 3-Leg Scissor Base: Best for smaller flags and indoor displays or temporary outdoor use.
  • 4-Leg Scissor Base: Best for taller flags when you need a wider, more stable footprint.
  • Heavy-Duty X-Base: Best for indoor displays or situations where you need a heavier, sturdier base.

For temporary outdoor use, consider adding a water ballast or ground spikes when compatible with the base.
