Flagpoles in Carson City

The state capital, and a compact one: the Capitol, the Legislature and the state agency buildings stand within a few blocks of an ordinary working main street. We cover Carson City and the Carson City, Nevada area, including the Nevada State Capitol and the Legislative Building, the Governor's Mansion, the Nevada State Museum in the old Carson City Mint, the Kit Carson Trail and the historic district, Carson Street downtown, Western Nevada College, Carson Tahoe Health and the Stewart Indian School campus.

Wind here. Carson City sits in a cold, high-altitude Sierra-front area, which works out to roughly 120 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. Carson City is a consolidated municipality, city and county in one, and it sits in the same special wind region as Reno and Sparks, so the state capital designs to the same 120 mph as a warehouse in the Truckee Meadows. The figure people miss is the one below ground. The frost line here is 24 inches and the weathering rating is severe, against a foot of cover and a negligible rating down in Las Vegas, so for the same pole the concrete goes deeper and the mix is specified differently. Winter lands on the hardware in a way it never does in Clark County, which is why we quote stainless fittings, and why an internal halyard – the rope run up inside the shaft behind a locking door – saves somebody a frozen January morning. Around the Capitol and along the Kit Carson Trail the buildings are historic and the setting is watched closely, so height, placement and finish are agreed there before the engineering is.

Most of the people who call us from Carson City are state agency buildings, city facilities, schools and the college, churches, veterans posts, medical campuses and downtown retail.
