Fun Facts About Flagpole Repairs

  • Over 50% of banner repairs are due to wind tearing or loosening the material.
  • Banners with reinforced edges and pole pockets experience 30% fewer issues than those with grommets alone.

Banners exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods can fade within 6–12 months if not printed with UV-resistant inks.

Flagpoles should typically be inspected at least once a year, but high-use poles (e.g., at schools or government buildings) may need maintenance every 6 months.

  • Wall-mounted banners in cities like NYC face damage from pollutants, dirt, and vandalism more frequently.
  • Regular cleaning can extend a banner’s life by 20–30%.
  • Vinyl banners last up to 3 years outdoors with proper maintenance.
  • Fabric banners are more delicate, lasting 1–2 years outdoors but much longer indoors.

Banners installed with pole pockets or reusable hardware can be replaced quickly, reducing labor costs by 50% compared to permanently mounted banners.
