Marking Flags

C.H. Hanson 21 in. polyvinyl marking flags in fluorescent orange, fluorescent pink and white, 100 to a bundle. Marking flags stake a point that has to stay visible for days or weeks — a utility locate, a stake-out, a sprinkler head, a survey point. The 21 in. wire is long enough to push into sod or soft ground and still stand above grass. Color convention matters on a jobsite: locate markings follow an established color code for each buried utility, so use the color the locate calls for rather than whatever is in the truck, and white is conventionally the proposed-excavation color.
