Select a
location for your flagpole where it cannot be
struck by lawnmowers, automobiles, bikes, etc.

in the vicinity of power lines
Check with your
local municipality regarding height ordinances
and for any underground gas or power lines. Many
municipalities have a "Dig Safe" bureau that can
provide you with this information.
It is best to
unwrap the pole as soon as possible after it's
been delivered and kept straight and dry during
storage.

Kits only require
approximately a 8 to 15 inch
diameter hole, and the depth of hole would be equal
to the length of sleeve that comes with your pole. Best to have gravel on bottom
of hole for drainage. Dementions listed below are
for commercial quality residential poles, but the procedure is the same.
General rule is 3 to 4 times the diameter of pole
and 10% of pole height goes in ground. (20 ft. tall
pole above ground =2 ft. in ground).
approx. diameter & depth given as all locations are
not the same but you can use info as a starting
point.
