Flagpoles in Columbus

An army town and an insurance and payments town at once, built where the Chattahoochee drops off the Piedmont. We cover Columbus and the Muscogee County area, including Uptown and Broadway, the Chattahoochee RiverWalk and the whitewater course, the National Infantry Museum, Fort Benning, Columbus State University and the RiverCenter, Midtown, Wynnton and the Macon Road commercial corridor.

Wind here. Columbus sits in a Chattahoochee fall-line area, which works out to roughly 110 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. Two things separate a Columbus job from an inland one. The first is the state line: the Chattahoochee is the border, Phenix City sits on the far bank in Alabama, and an address over there is a different jurisdiction with a different permit and a different figure, so say which bank you are on before we price anything. The second is the ground the city was built on. The river drops off the Piedmont here, which leaves red clay on the north side of town and coastal-plain sand as you move south and east, and the two will not carry the same footing under the same pole. Several neighbourhoods are local historic districts and the Board of Historic and Architectural Review looks at exterior work inside them, so settle height and finish before anything is ordered. Frontage over the river gorge has open water and no shelter in front of it, and we size that as exposed.

Most of the people who call us from Columbus are defence contractors and suppliers around the post, insurance and payments offices, hospital and medical buildings, university and school campuses, churches, veterans organisations and city facilities.
