Automotive events, track days, and car launches. Any outdoor event pitch where a vehicle tyre can be parked over the base platform to secure it. Key Features & Benefits Corrosion-Free Construction: Precision-manufactured from high-grade, welded aluminium. It is completely rust-proof and highly resistant to the outdoor elements, making it perfect for permanent, year-round forecourt use. Maximum Stability: By utilising the immense weight of a vehicle to clamp the frame to the ground, this base requires zero sandbags or water filling. It delivers clean aesthetics and unshakeable stability. Lightweight & Portable: Despite its structural strength, the aluminium build ensures the frame remains incredibly lightweight and easy for your team to position, move, and store. How does the integrated bearing protect your flag? The standout feature of this system is its built-in, smooth-rotating bearing spindle. Why it matters: Like most of our premium hardware, this base features a heavy-duty bearing that allows your promotional flag to fluidly pivot 360 degrees. This ensures that your flag always points directly downwind. By moving with the breeze rather than fighting against it, the system drastically reduces structural stress on both the flag fabric and the mast, preventing tangling and ensuring a significantly longer service life.

  • Flag Crossbase with water ring

    Crossbase with water ring

    IM Flag Crossbase with Bearing & Water Ring Looking for a versatile, all-in-one foundation for your promotional banners? The Instant Marquees Crossbase system is engineered for ultimate flexibility, allowing you to use a single base style across entirely different event footprints. Lightweight, folding, and quick to deploy, it is the ultimate grab-and-go base for indoor and outdoor displays. Can the Crossbase be used on both hard and soft ground? Yes! This is the primary advantage of the Crossbase system—you only need to stock one style of base to cover multiple terrains: Hard Ground Setup: Simply deploy the folding metal frame and layer the included water weight ring over the center spindle to anchor your display on concrete, tarmac, or indoor exhibition floors. Soft Ground Setup: Position the base on grass, turf, or soil, with the added benefit of being able to peg the legs down directly into the earth for maximum stability. What flag sizes are compatible with the Crossbase? 2m & 3m Flags (Recommended): As a rule of thumb, the Crossbase is perfectly balanced and best used with our 2m and 3m teardrop, feather, and rectangle flags. 4m Flags (With Caution): We generally advise against using our tallest 4m flags with a standard Crossbase setup. If you do use a 4m flag, ensure the wind conditions are relatively calm, or ensure you add extra stability—such as pinning the legs down on soft ground or adding an extra sandbag over the frame on hard ground. How does the integrated bearing protect your display? The standout feature of this system is its built-in, smooth-rotating bearing spindle. Why it matters: The heavy-duty bearing allows your flag to fluidly pivot 360 degrees so that it always points directly downwind. By moving with the breeze rather than resisting it, the system drastically reduces structural stress on both the flag material and the mast, keeping your setup safe and significantly extending your flag's lifespan. What is included in the Crossbase kit? Folding Crossbase Frame: Heavy-duty metal legs that collapse completely flat for effortless transport and space-saving storage. 5kg Water Weight Ring: A highly portable ballast bag that sits neatly over the frame, weighing approximately 5kgs when filled on-site. Integrated Bearing System: Built-in rotation mechanism for seamless, tangle-free flag movement. Ready to simplify your event logistics? Add the versatile IM Flag Crossbase to your order today and ensure your branding stands tall on any surface!

How it works: Because your flag mast is mounted on a heavy-duty bearing, the flag is free to rotate fluidly with the breeze. This ensures that your flag always points directly downwind. By moving with the wind rather than fighting against it, the spike drastically reduces structural stress on both the fabric and the mast, resulting in a significantly longer flag life.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the best flag base for hard ground vs. soft ground?

For soft ground like grass, mud, or sand, a chrome ground spike provides the most secure anchor. For hard surfaces like concrete, tarmac, or indoor floors, a folding metal cross base paired with a water weight ring or sandbag is the most stable and versatile option.

How do I stop my promotional flag from blowing over in the wind?

To prevent your flag from tipping in high winds, ensure it is equipped with a rotating spindle base so the flag can spin freely with the wind direction. Additionally, always anchor cross bases with a  water weight.

Are your replacement poles and bases compatible with any flag?

We always recommend checking the internal diameter of your flag's sleeve and your current base spindle size before ordering to guarantee a perfect fit.
