Where to buy a permanent flag pole in Botswana.
Ask around for a flag pole in Botswana and you will mostly find lightweight portable or telescopic poles for banners and events, sold by branding and printing companies. A permanent outdoor flag pole for a school, an office or a kgotla is a different product: a steel pole set in a concrete base, made to stand outdoors year after year. That is what we make. We are a citizen-owned welding and metal fabrication workshop in Gabane, so the pole is made locally, to your height and colour, and we stand behind it.

Made to order: tell us the height you need.
We do not sell one standard size. The height, the pole section and the base are made for your site and your flag. To quote, send us:
- ✓ The height you need (or a photo of the spot and we will advise)
- ✓ How many poles, and whether they stand in a row
- ✓ The flag size, if you already have the flag
- ✓ Where the pole stands: open ground, paving or a concrete slab
- ✓ The finish: white or the colour you want
- ✓ Kit or installation, and your town or country
Not sure what height suits your building? Our guide to choosing a flag pole height explains what to consider.

Flag pole prices in Botswana
What affects the cost of a flag pole.
Every pole is made to order, so we do not publish a price list. These are the things that change a flag pole quote:
- Height. A taller pole needs more steel and a bigger base.
- Pole section and base. The pole and the base sleeve or plate are sized for your height and site.
- Number of poles. A matched set is quoted together.
- Finish and fittings. White or a custom colour, and the fittings to raise the flag.
- Kit or installation. A kit for your own team, or installation by ours.
- Delivery. Your town in Botswana, or shipping to another country.
