Additional base options for the Feather, Crest and Teardrop flags

Description

The right base is the difference between standing and toppling

A flag is only as steady as what holds it down — and the right base depends on two things: the size of your flag and the surface it's going on. Grass takes a spike; hard standing needs weight; a car forecourt has its own clever option. This page covers the full range of bases, ground spikes and carry bags for our feather, fin, blade and economy flags. Not sure which you need? Tell us your flag size and where it's going, and we'll pick the right one with you.

Choosing by surface

Ground spikes (soft ground)

Metal spike fits all flag sizes; plastic spike suits small and medium — both push into grass or soft earth for a clean, low-cost anchor

Cross brace & weight bag (hard ground)

A weight bag sits over a metal cross brace for stability where a spike won't go. Standard fits small and medium; the large version fits all sizes

Parasol bases

Weighted with water or sand. Basic grey base fits small and medium (pole doesn't swivel); premium base with twist-out feet and pegs fits all sizes

Square base (indoor)

A square metal base for all flag sizes — smart and stable indoors, not intended for outdoor use

Car foot

Sits under a car wheel and uses the vehicle's weight to hold the flag — made for dealerships, works on any surface, all flag sizes

Flag carry bag

Holds a folded flag, its pole and selected bases together for easy transport and storage — any flag size

Which base fits which flag?

The important rule: some bases don't suit our large and extra large flags, so match carefully. Fitting all sizes: metal ground spike, large cross brace & weight bag, premium parasol base with feet, square base (indoor only) and car foot. Suited to small and medium only: plastic ground spike, standard cross brace & weight bag, and the basic parasol base. When in doubt, the metal ground spike (soft ground) and large cross brace & weight bag (hard ground) are the safe all-size choices — and we'll always confirm the right pairing if you tell us your flag and location.

Frequently asked questions

Which base do I need?
It comes down to surface and flag size. Soft ground (grass, earth): a ground spike. Hard ground (paving, concrete): a cross brace and weight bag, or a weighted parasol base. Indoors: the square base. Car forecourt: the car foot, which uses the car's weight. Then check the size match — some bases don't suit large and extra large flags. Tell us your flag and location and we'll confirm the right one.
Which bases suit large and extra large flags?
The metal ground spike, large cross brace & weight bag, premium parasol base with feet, square base (indoors) and car foot all fit every flag size. The plastic spike, standard cross brace and basic parasol base are for small and medium flags only — using them with a larger flag risks instability.
How do I stop a water-filled base freezing in winter?
Add salt to the water. Bases weighted with water can freeze and crack in cold weather, and salt lowers the freezing point to prevent it — or use sand instead, which never freezes.
What can the carry bag hold?
A folded flag and its pole in any size, plus selected bases: the cross brace and weight bags, both ground spikes and the car foot. The metal spike has its own dedicated pocket. Larger bases like the parasol and square bases travel separately. Empty weight bags before packing, and it's worth wrapping used spikes in plastic so they don't dirty the flag.
Does the parasol base let the flag turn in the wind?
The premium parasol base with feet allows the pole to swivel so the flag turns to face the wind; the basic grey parasol base does not. If you want the flag to weathervane freely, choose the premium base or a spike or cross-brace setup.
Do I need a base and a flag, or do flags include one?
Flags and bases are chosen separately, so you can pick the base that suits your surface and reuse it across replacement graphics. Order them together and everything arrives ready to assemble — and we'll happily match the base to your flag if you're unsure.
