Flagpoles in Norman

A university town first and last: the University of Oklahoma is the largest employer in town by a wide margin, with a regional hospital system and the federal weather agencies behind it. We cover Norman and the Cleveland County area, including the University of Oklahoma campus and the South Oval, Campus Corner, downtown Main Street, the National Weather Center, the Chautauqua and Miller historic districts, Norman Regional and the I-35 retail corridor.

Wind here. Norman sits in a flat, open and inland area, which works out to roughly 105 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. Chautauqua and Miller are Norman's two local historic districts, and no exterior change inside either one happens without a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic District Commission, so a pole going in there needs its drawings before it needs its concrete. The National Weather Center, out on the university's research campus, houses the Storm Prediction Center and the National Severe Storms Laboratory; campus work of that sort comes with its own drawing review and we allow for it. The two halves of town size differently. East of Norman is Cross Timbers and lake country, where an old post oak will reach a flag long before the wind does, so we measure the clear air over a spot before we agree the spot. West of I-35 the trees run out altogether and the same pole is standing in the open at 105 mph.

Most of the people who call us from Norman are university and research buildings, public schools, hospitals and clinics, fraternity and sorority houses, churches, city facilities and interstate retail frontage.
