Bowhead Banner Base Options For Every Occasion
Outdoor Spike Base
Our most common base: the outdoor spike base,, comes free with every flag banner set order. Our outdoor spike bases are made of 24” long metal spikes with a ball bearing rotating connector. This is ideal for flags that will be used outdoors in solid soil or grass. To prevent potential premature damage to your flags or poles, please keep the rotating connector of the spike base above the ground to rotate freely with the wind at all times.
Spike Base - Heavy Duty Large
The heavy duty spike base is specifically designed for our extra large 13.5ft and 17ft feather banners. This superior base is especially fit for high wind speeds (over 40 MPH) and soft soil outdoor conditions. The extra length and thickness of the base keeps the flag banner standing straight, while preventing the banner from sinking too deep into the ground.
Spike Base - Basic
The spike base (basic model) is made without the ball-bearing rotating connector. The flag will rotate much less than the regular spike base, typically recommended for smaller 6-10ft flag banners under very mild weather conditions where less rotation is desired.
Premium Cross Base With Free Water Bag
The popular premium cross base is a high quality base that has a beautiful mirror chrome finish. These are typically used on hard surfaces that cannot be nailed into. Although the premium cross base can be used both indoors and outdoors, we do not recommend using them outdoors for longer period of time. The polished mirror finish may get damaged with extended outdoor use. With the included water bags, feel free to add more weight into your base as needed.
Indoor/Outdoor Premium Cross Base w/ Ground Nails
With a weather resistant powder finish and a simple industrial design, this heavy duty cross base was designed to display your flag banners outdoors for longer periods of time. 4 Free ground nails comes complementary with every base to add extra stability on uneven ground or for windy days. This base is very suitable for indoor displays, as the feet sit flat on the floor. We also offer sandbags to help you keep your stand and feather flag banners in place during extra windy or bad weather days.
Indoor/Outdoor Cross Base - Basic
This standard base is usually recommended for our 6-10ft small flags, being suited for both indoor and outdoor use, under very mild weather conditions for its limited rotating capabilities.
Heavy Duty All Metal Square Base
This base is noted as the most “high-end” looking base on the market. Its perks includes a sleek and modern finish, zero tipping hazard risk, all while being completely safe to use. Our square bases are made with heavy high grade materials with a metal square shaped bottom that is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. Best for any storefront, high foot traffic areas such as airports, trade shows, or shopping malls. Perfect for moderately windy conditions. We currently have 2 sizes in stock: Large and Jumbo. The large size suits for flag banners that are up to 13.5ft for indoor or under mild weather conditions. The jumbo design is for XL flags and for windy weather conditions.
To add extra weight, you can buy extra sandbags from us or place your own weight on the plate.
Plastic Water Base - Premium
Specifically designed for maximum safety and flexibility, this base is built with a heavy duty weight; it can be used indoors or under mild weather conditions outdoors. With extendable feet, free ground nails and a carrying bag, this base has many ways to utilize its potential to present your flag banners. You can fill the plastic tank with water or sand for extra weight to pin down the base on uneven grounds outdoors. Whether you're going to professionally display it in a trade show or outdoors, nothing is out of reach! We also provide a complimentary carrying bag to hold everything neatly.
Plastic Water Base - Square

Easy to Assemble Bowhead Banners
Bowhead banners are made to be easy to assemble. Start by assembling all of your materials and make sure you give yourself enough room. Connect all the poles one by one, starting from the thickest to the thinnest. Insert the connect pole into the sleeve of the fabric banner, until the rod tip reaches the double-stitched sleeve end. After you have secured the fabric banner to the pole, use the tension cord and tie the loop and hooks tightly. The last step is to insert the fabric banner and pole into the base.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long will my bowhead banners last?
Our banner poles normally last anywhere between 3 to 10 years, while flags can last from 1-3 years, depending on how well you take care of them, the UV exposure and local climate. We recommend refreshing your design and fabric banners when you need the flags to look fresh again.
2. Will my printed fabric banner fabric fade?
Due to UV exposure, fabric banner colors will eventually fade. Depends majorly on the UV exposure of your area and the colors on the flag, specifically darker colors like black, deep red, and dark blue backgrounds will fade faster than designs with lighter colors. White, light blue, and yellow, those don’t fade in the sun as quickly. For more detailed info, please check here (https://lushbanners.com/uv-proof-printing.html).
3. Are Bowhead Banner and Bow Flag the same thing? Are Bowhead Banner and Feather Banners the same thing?
The terms Bowhead Banners and Bow Flags are interchangeable. Feather Banners however have a more streamlined feather bottom shape. While bowhead banners are similar to feather banners, they differ by having 3 different bottom shapes to choose from.
4. What are the differences between the Feather Banners and Bowhead Banners?
Great question! The two are very similar other than the bottom shapes. While feather banners have beautiful streamlined bottom shape like feathers, the bowhead has angled, straight and concave bottom options.
5. Will my design cover the entire flag or just a portion of it?
We’ll print to the very edge to achieve a “wide-screen” effect, except one-day printing, which the pole pockets portion will be covered by black or white canvas for speed production.
6. Are your banners fireproof?
Though our banners are highly resistant to heat, most of our polyester products will melt and burn if it comes in contact with flames. We recommend keeping all of your feather banners away from sparks or flames.
7. Are the flag poles interchangeable between different banner sizes?
Each of our flag poles are designed to support one single sized banner. A large flag pole is thicker, will not accommodate a small or medium banner, and vice versa. Be sure you match up the size of your banner with the correct sized pole. Let us know if you have questions or need to order extra banner or replacement poles.
8. Can I have different images on the front and back of double-sided bowhead banners?
Yes! You can choose to design one side or both so that the sides are the same or both sides are different. Be sure to select the Double Sided Printing (3 Layers) options when you select product options.
9. What we can see on the back of single-sided banner?
If you choose to print a single-sided flag banner, please know that to save you time and money, the design is bled through rather than printed on the back side. This means that though you can see the design on the other side, it will be mirrored, texts are not readable. If you want to have the same message appear perfectly on both sides, you will need to select the double-sided option.
