Flagpoles in Tulsa

The old oil capital, now an aerospace, energy and healthcare centre with an Art Deco downtown and a river through the middle of it. We cover Tulsa and the Tulsa County area, including the Tulsa Arts District, the Blue Dome District, Greenwood, the Oil Capital Historic District, Cherry Street, Brookside, Utica Square, the University of Tulsa, Oral Roberts University and the Arkansas River frontage.

Wind here. Tulsa sits in a rolling and well wooded 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. Tulsa's historic preservation zoning sits on the older neighbourhoods rather than on the Deco downtown: Swan Lake, North Maple Ridge, Brady Heights, Yorktown and Gillette. Work inside one of those needs a historic preservation permit from the Tulsa Preservation Commission, which is a date in the schedule rather than a formality, so send us the address before you settle on a height. Ice is the load nobody budgets for. The December 2007 storm took power from more than six hundred thousand customers, the largest outage the state has had, and the Tulsa metro was among the worst of it. Freezing rain loads the rope, the pulley at the top and a soaked flag all at once, so stainless hardware goes on as standard here and a rope behind a locking access door beats a cleat that has frozen shut. The mapped figure is about 105 mph, and the old canopy through Maple Ridge and Brookside genuinely shelters a pole — a mixed blessing the first time a limb reaches the flag.

Most of the people who call us from Tulsa are energy and engineering offices, aerospace and maintenance facilities, hospitals, universities and private schools, churches, banks, hotels and city buildings.
