Flagpoles in Coeur d'Alene

A resort town on a twenty-five mile lake, with tourism, a community college, a hospital and a short building season doing most of the work. We cover Coeur d'Alene and the Kootenai County area, including Sherman Avenue and the downtown blocks, the Coeur d'Alene Resort and its floating boardwalk, McEuen Park, City Park, Tubbs Hill, North Idaho College and the Centennial Trail.

Wind here. Coeur d'Alene sits in a lakefront and fully exposed area, which works out to roughly 115 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. Kootenai County is the one jurisdiction on this page that writes open water into its own criteria. It sets 115 mph and then leaves the exposure to the site, sheltered through to open water, decided one address at a time. Twenty-five miles of lake is more than enough to put a shoreline pole in the open-water case. Snow is not one figure here either but a county zone map: roof loads of 40, 50 and 60 pounds a square foot, and a fourth zone where an Idaho licensed engineer has to work out the parcel's own snow load before a design exists at all. Footings go 24 inches down on an assumed 1,500 pounds of bearing unless a soils report says otherwise. In town the Design Review Commission takes an interest in what stands in front of a Sherman Avenue building, and under snow loads like these we fit stainless at the top of the pole rather than plated.

Most of the people who call us from Coeur d'Alene are lakefront homes and condominium associations, hotels and restaurants, marinas, medical offices, schools, churches, city and county buildings and veterans posts.
