Residential Application of the Dori Pole Pennant System



Many homeowners have been using Dori Poles in a wide variety of ways. Thats right, Dori Poles aren't only the perfect addition to an event, festival, or business; they are also a great for residential use. 

The pennant system is being used to define a sense of space and place for the homeowner. Gardeners truly enjoy using the Dori Poles to draw attention to their gardens. The pennants blow and flail in the wind, and keep unwanted birds away from gardens better than even the most realistic of scarecrows.

This smaller scale is perfect as an eye-catcher for home parties, the beach, or to make your favorite teams colors fly in the wind!

Dori Poles and the Marina: The Perfect Combination

Dori Poles can attract attention to any business. The high flying fifteen foot pennants, on our non-tangling, swiveling “Yoke” bracket would catch the eye of even the most inattentive potential customer.   Not only does the Dori Pole grab people's attention, it is a great, green, eco-friendly bird deterrent. It is for these two reasons that Marina's love to use the Dori Pole pennant display system; they are the perfect match.

MarineMax Marina, located in Wilmington, NC, has heavily implemented the use of Dori Poles within their company. They have found the pennant display system to be extremely versatile, using it for several different applications.

The marina docks host several red, white and blue pennants flying up to twenty-two feet in the air. The bright, eye-catching colors attract plenty of attention, and serve as a great welcome back to marina members. Pesky birds are deterred by the flailing pennants, keeping the dock, and boats, clean and sanitary. 

While on outings and cruises, MarineMax uses a Dori Pole on the lead boat as they cruise down the river, making it easy for all following boats to distinguish where they are headed. They also mark their stops at various islands and beaches with Dori Poles, not only to serve as markers for stop points, but to create a sense of festivity and fun as well. Outing participants truly enjoy seeing the pennants flying in the air, and are able to see that MarineMax has a special eye for detail, and a commitment to making their time off-shore as enjoyable as possible.
