Flagpole Designations: How to Read FShP-40-5.I-54 and Which Standard Marks Exist
A flagpole mark consists of the series, height, wind region, terrain type and flag area. It shows what kind of flagpole it is and what it is designed for. We explain the designation scheme and list the 14 standard marks.

What a mark consists of
A mark consists of parts separated by hyphens and a dot: FSh and the series letter, height in metres, wind region to DBN, terrain type to DBN and flag area in square metres.
Example: FShP-40-5.I-54 is a flagpole with an electric drive, 40 m high, wind region V, terrain type I, flag area 54 m² (6 × 9 m).
| Part | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FSh + series letter | FShP | flagpole; R is manual drive, L is hand winch, P is electric drive |
| Height | 40 | height of the flagpole, m |
| Wind region | 5 | region to DBN; all standard marks have 5 |
| Terrain type | I | terrain type to DBN; all standard marks have I |
| Flag area | 54 | flag area in m² the mark is designed for |
What 5.I means
All standard marks are designed for wind region V and terrain type I to DBN, so they suit any region of Ukraine.

Non-standard height and flag
Any height, for example 86 or 87 m, and any flag size are made on request, even if there is no such mark in the tables. The mark is then composed by the same scheme. In the tables all flags have a 2:3 ratio, while any size is possible on request; the area in the mark matches the flag size. Cost and lead times for non-standard versions are worked out on request.
Embedded part
The embedded part is marked with the letters FZ and the flagpole mark, for example FZ-FShP-40-5.I-54. It is an anchor block that is cast into the foundation, and its price is separate. We pass the foundation loads needed to fix the flagpole to the designer. For the series see Flagpole series, and for the scope of supply see What the flagpole supply includes.
