Flagpoles in Nampa

Idaho's third city and the working half of the Treasure Valley: food processing, distribution, a private university and a community college campus. We cover Nampa and the Canyon County area, including downtown Nampa and Library Square, the Ford Idaho Center, Northwest Nazarene University, the College of Western Idaho campus, Lakeview Park, the Warhawk Air Museum and the industrial ground on the north side of town.

Wind here. Nampa sits in a flat, open and unsheltered 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. Nampa publishes its own climatic table, and the useful thing about it is what it declines to settle. The wind figure is 115 mph, flat across Idaho, with no special wind region, no wind-borne debris zone and no topographic effect; the exposure is left to the site. Around Nampa that matters, because the ground is farm flat, the buildings are low and the run upwind is long in most directions, so we size out here for open terrain. The rest of the table is a winter table – 24 inches of frost, weathering classed as severe, a winter design temperature of 10 degrees – and that is what a footing here is really answering. Seismic is category B, a long way from the eastern side of the state. Open ground usually puts a Nampa pole one wall thickness above the same height on a sheltered street, so it is worth settling the height before the finish.

Most of the people who call us from Nampa are food and agricultural processing plants, distribution and equipment buildings, school district and college facilities, churches, car dealerships, city buildings and community associations.
