kits only require
approximately a 8 to 12 inch
diameter hole, and the depth of hole would be equal
to the length of sleeve that comes with your
flagpole plus 3 to 6" for gravel or sand. Best to
have gravel on bottom of hole for drainage.
General rule is 3 to 4 times the diameter of pole
for hole diameter,
and 10% of pole height goes in ground. (20 ft. tall
pole would =2 ft. in ground). 3" diameter pole would
= 9 to 12" diameter hole. |
