Flagpoles in Fort Collins

A university city at the top of the Front Range, with a serious brewing and manufacturing base and an old brick downtown in front of it. We cover Fort Collins and the Larimer County area, including Old Town and the Oak Street plaza, the Colorado State University campus, the Poudre River corridor, Midtown, the Harmony Road employment corridor and the College Avenue and Mulberry corridors.

Wind here. Fort Collins sits in a plains-edge, foothill-adjacent 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. The city itself stands on the plains at about 115 mph. The hills immediately west of it are where the national map stops printing a number and leaves the figure to the local jurisdiction, and the boundary between those two things runs close enough to town to matter. So the address decides this job, not the town: the same 30 ft pole is not the same pole on Lemay Avenue and at the mouth of the Poudre canyon, and we ask which one before anything is priced. Old Town work goes in front of the city's historic preservation review, which has a view on finish as well as on height. Frost depth in Larimer County, not the wind load, is usually what sets the bottom of the hole.

Most of the people who call us from Fort Collins are university and school buildings, breweries and manufacturing plants, municipal facilities, medical offices, churches, veterans posts and Old Town commercial frontage.
