Flagpoles in Branson

A tourism town of theatres, hotels, resorts and attractions strung along a ridge between two lakes. We cover Branson and the Taney County area, including the Highway 76 theatre strip, historic downtown Branson and Branson Landing on Lake Taneycomo, Table Rock Lake and the dam, Hollister across the water and the College of the Ozarks campus south of town.

Wind here. Branson sits in an Ozark ridge and lakefront area, which works out to roughly 105 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. Branson's own code is unusually direct about flags, and it helps you twice. The zoning code's district height standards do not apply to flagpoles at all, so the height limit on the lot is not the ceiling on the pole. A flag on a permanent ground- or wall-mounted pole is also exempt from the sign rules in a mixed-use or non-residential district, which on a strip where every square foot of signage is counted is worth knowing before you plan your frontage. The catch sits in the same chapter: a flag that is faded, tattered or torn is a maintenance failure, and the city gives thirty days to put it right, so out on Highway 76 a replacement flag is a running cost rather than an optional one. Physically it is steep, rocky ground, dolomite under thin soil, and an EF2 tornado came through the theatre district in February 2012 and took roofs off buildings on the strip. We size the shaft to the wind speed the address is designed to, and we never sell a stock pole as proof against a code number.

Most of the people who call us from Branson are theatres and attractions, hotels, resorts and timeshare properties, restaurants and retail frontage, churches and camps, marinas and lakefront homes, and city facilities.
