Flagpoles in Nevada

Resort and convention frontage in the south, the Capitol and the Truckee Meadows in the north, and a lot of open desert between them.

Wind here. Nevada runs the opposite way to what people expect. Las Vegas and Henderson are the gentlest ground we work on anywhere: Eder's wind map puts the valley at 90 mph and the Southern Nevada Amendments assume open exposure unless the applicant makes a case for something else, so in the south it is the sun overhead and the caliche underneath that decide a job, not the wind. Go north across the Great Basin, through Elko, Fallon and most of Lyon and Storey counties, and Eder's map still reads 90 mph. Reno, Sparks, Carson City and the Washoe and Douglas county ground around them are different, and for a reason of their own: the map marks that country a special wind region, which means it declines to print a band and the local amendment writes its own, higher figure in, which an engineer checks at permit. On Eder's basis it is still the 90 mph zone, but it arrives with two feet of frost line and a severe weathering rating the south does not have.

• The Las Vegas Valley — Eder's 90 mph zone, open exposure assumed, and no special wind region in any of it. A standard wall is normally right, so the money goes into the finish and into getting the hole open rather than into the shaft.
• The Colorado River corner and the southern desert — The same figure through Boulder City, Laughlin and Mesquite, on flat ground with nothing upwind of it. Sun and blowing grit are what finish a pole off here, which is why anodized comes up long before wall thickness does.
• The Great Basin interior — Eder's 90 mph zone through Elko, Fallon and most of Lyon and Storey counties, Fernley included. Moderate on paper, but every site out there is genuinely open and gets sized that way whatever the county figure says.
• The Truckee Meadows, the Carson Valley and the Sierra front — A special wind region, so the map prints no band and the Northern Nevada Amendments set their own figure, the highest in the state, which an engineer checks at permit; on Eder's basis it is 90 mph. Add two feet of frost line under the Truckee Meadows and Carson City, and a winter that gets into the fittings, and both the footing and the hardware cost more here than they do in the south.
