\nStep 1: Check Your Feather Flag Set \n<\/h2>
\n

Your feather flag set will arrive in a carrying bag for safe transport. When you get your order from\u00a0UPrinting, please check that all parts are included.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Here\u2019s\u00a0a quick checklist of what comes with your set:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

  • The printed feather flag graphic.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  • Flexible poles that connect to form the frame.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  • A sturdy base to support the flag. The type of base may vary depending on your order: ground spikes, cross bases, or a water base.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    Besides checking the parts, make sure the\u00a0flag\u2019s\u00a0size matches your order, since we offer several feather flag sizes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

    \nStep 2: Connect the Pole Sections \n<\/h2>
    \n

    Assemble the pole sections that support the flag.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Most feather flag poles come in lightweight pieces that fit together tightly. Some poles have an elastic cord inside, which makes them easier to connect.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    • Slide each pole section into the next one until you have one long pole.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
    • Check that each section fits snugly to keep the pole stable.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
    • Once assembled, the pole will be flexible. This helps the flag keep its curved shape.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

      \nStep 3: Slide the Pole Into the Flag\u2019s Pole Pocket \n<\/h2>
      \n

      Once the pole is assembled,\u00a0locate\u00a0the\u00a0<\/span>pole pocket<\/span><\/b>\u00a0along the edge of the feather flag banner.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

      • Gently slide the pole through the sleeve, starting at the bottom of the flag and moving toward the top.\u00a0<\/li>
      • Keep sliding the pole through the sleeve until it reaches the tip of the flag.\u00a0<\/li>
      • Be careful not to push the pole too\u00a0hard, since\u00a0this could damage the banner.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

        \nStep 4: Set Up the Base \n<\/h2>
        \n

        Next, get the base ready to hold your feather flag upright.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

        There are\u00a0different types\u00a0of bases for feather flags, depending on where you want to set up your flag. Here are your options:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

        • Ground spike: best for grass or soil<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
        • Cross base: good for indoor or hard surfaces<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
        • Water or weighted\u00a0base:\u00a0adds\u00a0extra stability outdoors.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

          Set up the base where you want to display your flag before you attach the flag itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

          \nStep 5: Attach the Flag to the Base \n<\/h2>
          \n

          After you set up the base, place the bottom of the pole into the spindle or mounting point. Make sure the pole is secure.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

          Most feather flag bases let the pole spin, so the flag can move with the wind and\u00a0won't\u00a0get twisted.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

          Your feather flag is now ready for your event and sale.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
