Flagpoles in St. Petersburg

A city on a narrow peninsula with the Gulf on one side and Tampa Bay on the other, and almost nothing in it far from salt water. We cover St. Petersburg and the Pinellas County area, including downtown and Beach Drive, the Pier district, Historic Old Northeast, the Grand Central and Warehouse Arts districts, Bayboro Harbor and USF St. Petersburg, the Gateway and Carillon office parks and the Skyway approaches.

Wind here. St. Petersburg sits in a Gulf and Tampa Bay peninsula area, which works out to roughly 145 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. Pinellas is narrow enough that we treat almost everything in St. Petersburg as coastal. Salt comes off the Gulf and off the bay, and plated hardware does not last in it, so stainless or bronze and an anodized finish are the sensible default rather than an upgrade. Sand and a shallow water table are the other constant, and near the shore an auger can reach water before it reaches depth, so the footing is designed rather than assumed. The Old Northeast and the other local historic districts are reviewed by the city, and the taller downtown blocks channel wind between them in a way the published figure does not show. Barrier island addresses out at St. Pete Beach or Tierra Verde sit above the city figure and are looked up individually.

Most of the people who call us from St. Petersburg are downtown offices and hotels, marinas and yacht clubs, museums and cultural institutions, condominium associations, schools, churches and waterfront restaurants.
