• Cross Foot (indoor): The crossfoot is a standard which is very suitable for a flat surface. The metal frame and 4 legs make sure its extra steady. The crossfoot has a size of 85 x 85 cm and is 20cm high.

How are the beachflags being finished?

• The beachflags are always finished on the leftside with a tunnel. On the top of the tunnel is an extra solid part so the beachflag itself does not get damaged by the flagpole.
• Beachflags made from normal flag material are finished on the right side (opposite side of where the flag tunnel is) with a hem finished with double stichting.
• Beachflags made of longlife material are finished on the right side with a ''hotcutting' method. This means the flag gets cut off and heat sealed together. This means that longlife material does not need hemming. This also expands the lifetime of your beachflag.
