Flagpoles in Tampa

A working port and a fast-growing downtown, with open bay water on three sides of the city. We cover Tampa and the Hillsborough County area, including downtown and the Riverwalk, Water Street and Channelside, Ybor City, Hyde Park, the Westshore business district, Port Tampa Bay, the University of South Florida and Tampa International.

Wind here. Tampa sits in a Tampa Bay waterfront area, which works out to roughly 140 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. Ybor City is a local historic district and the Barrio Latino Commission reviews exterior work inside it, so height, placement and finish are all decided in front of a board. Downtown and Water Street sites are tight and often sit over structured parking, which makes the foundation an engineered detail rather than a hole in the ground. Tampa is sand over limestone with a high water table near the bay, so a hole that augers cleanly on one site fills with water on the next; send us a photo of the intended spot early and we will tell you what the footing is likely to become. Bay frontage from Hillsborough Bay round to Westshore is open exposure and gets sized that way, even though the city figure is moderate by Florida standards.

Most of the people who call us from Tampa are downtown offices and hotels, port and logistics operations, hospitals and universities, schools, churches, restaurants and condominium associations.
