Flagpoles in Myrtle Beach

A resort city on sixty miles of open Atlantic beach, dense with hotels, condominiums and attractions. We cover Myrtle Beach and the Horry County area, including Ocean Boulevard, the Boardwalk and Promenade, Broadway at the Beach, the Market Common, Myrtle Beach State Park, the airport district and the Grand Strand north toward Little River.

Wind here. Myrtle Beach sits in an Atlantic oceanfront area, which works out to roughly 150 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. This is the highest design wind speed in South Carolina, around 150 mph on the oceanfront. Eder's published flag-flying ratings stop at 150 mph, on the Hurricane series, and they are measured on a different basis to a code gust figure, so we do not present any pole here as passing the local code. Oceanfront sites are engineered one at a time against the adopted figure for the address. The ground is sand to depth, which needs a wider footing than clay for the same shaft, and salt spray finishes plated hardware fast, so anodized shafts and stainless hardware are the default rather than the upgrade. Beachfront lots also run into the state's beachfront jurisdiction, where a baseline and a setback line govern what can go up near the dune, so tell us early if your spot is seaward of that line.

Most of the people who call us from Myrtle Beach are oceanfront hotels and condominium associations, restaurants and attractions, property management companies, churches, schools and municipal facilities.
