Ring cord and storm securing

Ring cord and storm securing

Without securing, banner and hanging flags tend to swirl up and get turned over the pole (see picture). Coats-of-arms, symbols, images and writing are not displayed properly anymore and cease to have the desired visual impact. There is also the risk of the flag being damaged if they hit the walls of houses or window sills or if they get tangled up in trees or electrical wires.

Ring cord securing for banner and hanging flags

We recommend to secure banner and hanging flags with ring cords (see picture). It consists of a transparent plastic cord with built-in rings at a distance of approx. 30 cm. The plastic cord is attached to the centre of the back of the flag, from the upper to the lower edge of the flag. A stable polyester cord leads through the metal rings from top to bottom. An excess length of approx. 50 cm allows secure attachment of the flag to the flagpole.

Storm securing for banner and hanging flags

The storm securing consists of a plastic tube, which is invisibly incorporated into the lower edge of the flag. The tube contains a cord, which overlaps approx. 1,50 m on both sides. The overlapping ends are attached to the halyard by tying it to the ring, which also holds the halyard. (see picture).

Thus the banner or hanging flag does not act like a sail during strong gusts or storms and the breaking of the flagpole during strong winds can be prevented. The lower edge of the coat-of-arms flag, which is attached to the ring, moves up and down along the halyard and the impact of the wind is distributed evenly along the whole length of the halyard. Our special attachment ring is intentionally designed to break and release the lower edge of the flag.

Specialities for flagpoles with internal halyard mechanisms

Here, the flag is not attached to the halyard but to a plastic glider which runs on the inside of the flagpole. To avoid damage or premature wear and tear, banner and hanging flags should be stricken during strong and long-lasting stormy weathers, even if they are secured with ring cord or storm securing.

Storm lattice and reinforced corners

Storm lattice and reinforced corners on the free fluttering edges of the flag prevent vertical-format hoist flags from fraying out or tearing. Please note: always strike flags during storms.
