Flagpoles in Lakewood

Denver's western neighbour, low-rise and spread wide, built around a large federal campus and a run of long commercial corridors. We cover Lakewood and the Jefferson County area, including the Denver Federal Center, Belmar, Colorado Mills, Green Mountain, Red Rocks Community College, the Union Boulevard office district and the Colfax and Wadsworth corridors.

Wind here. Lakewood sits in a west metro, hogback-edge 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. Lakewood is the city where the map runs out. The eastern half sits in the Denver basin at about 115 mph and sizes like Denver. West of Green Mountain the ground rises, the map stops giving a figure, and along the hogback the jurisdiction's number reaches 150 mph and above. 150 mph is the top of every flag-flying rating Eder publishes, so nothing on that side of town is taken off a height chart; the pole and the footing are engineered for the address. The ground changes with the wind, too. The piedmont claystone stands on edge as you approach the hogback, so the hole goes deeper and the grade around it is cut to carry water away from the shaft. The Denver Federal Center is a controlled campus, so access, escort and the working day are agreed before a truck is loaded.

Most of the people who call us from Lakewood are federal and government-contractor offices, hospitals and medical buildings, school district facilities, retail centres, churches, veterans posts and community associations.
