Flagpoles in Sparks

The industrial half of the Truckee Meadows: warehouse and distribution buildings along the I-80 corridor, a compact old downtown at Victorian Square, and a retail and hotel strip around the Sparks Marina. We cover Sparks and the Washoe County area, including Victorian Square and the Nugget, the Sparks Marina and Legends, the Greg Street and Glendale Avenue industrial corridor, Golden Eagle Regional Park, Spanish Springs and the I-80 interchanges.

Wind here. Sparks sits in a flat, open and wind-exposed area, which works out to roughly 120 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. Sparks takes the same criteria as Reno, 120 mph and 24 inches of frost line, because both cities sit on the same line of the same regional amendment. What differs is exposure and the county boundary. The industrial ground along Greg Street and out toward Spanish Springs is flat and open with nothing upwind of it, and a pole in a truck yard is the tallest object for a hundred yards, so those are sized as exposed rather than suburban whatever the map calls the terrain. Then carry on east along I-80 and the land is in Storey County, which means a different building department and a different figure: 115 mph, and not a special wind region at all. A few miles changes the shaft, so we work from the street address and not from the exit number.

Most of the people who call us from Sparks are distribution and manufacturing buildings, truck terminals, retail centres and car dealerships, schools, city facilities, churches and community associations.
