How do I set up my custom rectangle flags?

We recommend following these steps for a smooth (and stress-free) set-up: 1. Assemble pole: Attach the pieces of your flagpole, and then add the antenna to the top of the pole. 2. Add flag: Feed the antenna through the pocket that runs along the side of your beach flag (the hole is quite small, but it is there). 3. Attach base: Place the prong on the top of your base into the hole at the bottom of the flagpole. 4. Secure flag: Make sure the bungee is attached to both the printed flag and the hook on the flagpole.

What are the dimensions of the rectangle flags?

Dimensions vary depending on the size of the branded flag, as well as the amount of tension applied when setting up. Please see the tables below, which are accurate to within 10 cm: | Full Size | Flagpole | Designable Graphic Space | Width | | ---------- | ---------- | ---------- | ---------- | | 1.8 m | 180 cm | 97 cm | 62 cm | | 2.4 m | 235 cm | 152 cm | 62 cm | | 3.4 m | 343.5 cm | 256 cm | 75 cm | | 4.4 m | 440 cm | 351 cm | 86.5 cm |

Terrible quality and not as advertised

Verified Buyer

Unfortunately I could not recommend this product. It’s not as the picture shows - it didn’t have a right angled frame but one long pole that bends the fabric forcefully into a curve. It ripped as soon as I put it together. Customer service were great and refunded the full amount.

Promotional flags are printed using dye sublimation on translucent polyester. The resulting banners are slightly sheer, which lets the design show through to be visible on both sides.
