Winter weather is harsh on everything it comes in contact with. Cold climate affects the environment around us in various ways, and flags and flagpoles are no exception to the temperature drops and inclement weather.
Harsh winds, snow, and sleet can damage your flag’s integrity and ruin your flagpole. However, you can mitigate the damage and prepare for these possibilities using these flag and flagpole care tips for the winter.
If your banner is of nylon material, consider swapping it out for a polyester alternative. Polyester flags are durable and better at withstanding winds and other inclement weather conditions. Nylon flags, on the other hand, are more susceptible to tears and damage from high wind conditions.
In some cases, giant flags aren’t stronger than smaller flags. If your flagpole flies a larger banner and is an area of concern, use a smaller flag instead. They weigh less and, as a result, place less stress on poles.
Remember to check flagpoles for maintenance opportunities before drastic seasonal changes. Accompanying parts like the halyard, snaps, and trucks must keep working to facilitate easy operation.
Replace all worn components to avoid damaging the flagpole. If your banner displays signs of excessive wear, consider bringing it to a flag repair service.
When you’re expecting inclement weather conditions, bring your flag inside to protect it from further damage. High winds put extraordinary amounts of stress on flags and their poles, shortening their lifespan.
Clean banners and poles with mild soap and warm water to remove grime and debris. You can attach a sponge to the halyard and raise and lower to access higher areas. Remember to completely dry both components before displaying the flag.
Drastic temperature changes and weather can significantly wear down flagpoles and additional components, so it's best to take action when you can. Just like you would wear a hat and gloves to protect yourself against frightful weather, using these flag and flagpole care tips for the winter is a great preventive measure against the cold.
