Flagpoles in San Diego

Navy, biotech, tourism and a harbour downtown, with a working border crossing at the bottom of the county. We cover San Diego and the San Diego County area, including downtown and the Gaslamp Quarter, the Embarcadero and the harbour, Balboa Park, La Jolla and the Torrey Pines research corridor, Naval Base San Diego and Coronado, Mission Valley, Point Loma and San Diego State.

Wind here. San Diego sits in a mild coastal, salt-exposed area, which works out to roughly 95 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. Height gets decided before anything else in San Diego. The Coastal Height Limit Overlay Zone, passed by the voters in 1972, caps buildings and structures at thirty feet across the coastal part of the city west of Interstate 5, so a tall pole near the water is worth settling with Development Services before it is ordered rather than after. Work inside the coastal zone can need a coastal development permit on top of that, which is a separate queue again. The Rose Canyon fault comes ashore at the bay and runs north through Old Town and La Jolla, which is why a plan checker here reads the footing and the anchor bolts closely and spends no time at all on the wind figure. Navy and defence work wants domestic-content paperwork with the submittal, and every pole we sell is American-made, so that part is a form rather than a problem. Salt runs from Point Loma round to Coronado and it finishes plated fittings, so stainless or bronze hardware and an anodized shaft.

Most of the people who call us from San Diego are Navy and defence contractors, biotech and research campuses, hotels and restaurants, school and university buildings, hospitals, marinas and harbour businesses.
