Flagpole installation inSt. George, UT

Flagpoles in St. George

A fast-growing desert city near the Arizona line, built on retirement, tourism, health care and new construction rather than on industry. We cover St. George and the Washington County area, including the Utah Tech University campus, the St. George Utah Temple and the historic downtown around it, St. George Regional Hospital, Bloomington and Little Valley, the Red Hills Parkway and the retirement communities spreading east toward Washington and Hurricane.

Wind here. St. George sits in a low desert, hot and open 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. St. George belongs to a different state from the rest of this list. It sizes to about 105 mph, the lowest figure we work to in Utah, and the frost line is 12 inches against 30 up north, so the excavation is the shallowest and cheapest in the state. Wind is not the problem here. Summer runs above 100 degrees for weeks at a stretch, and the sun and the blowing red sand between them dull a mill finish and shorten the life of a flag, so anodized is the sensible specification and flag replacement belongs in the conversation early rather than as a surprise in year three. The Hurricane fault runs just east of the city, so seismic detailing is still part of the drawing, and the bearing value comes off the site rather than off a table.

Most of the people who call us from St. George are hospital and clinic buildings, university and school campuses, city and county facilities, retirement and master-planned communities, hotels and visitor centres, meetinghouses and car dealerships.
