It’s not uncommon to see the most patriotic among us flying flags. You may see residential flags flying off the side of a house or a busines proudly flying flags from an in-ground flagpole. You might wonder what factors you need to consider before choosing an in-ground flagpole. We’ll go over a few factors here.
In-ground flagpoles come in two materials: fiberglass and aluminum. Fiberglass can handle more rigorous wind conditions and a higher wind load. They often fly near the ocean or other places that experience high wind speeds. Aluminum poles look sturdier and are often used in front of commercial buildings. Large flag poles up to 80 feet tall are typically made of steel. You typically see these flags planted in front of big buildings, and they always require many hands to install appropriately.
The size is a key consideration when choosing an in-ground flagpole. Ground flagpole size increments increase by five feet up to 50 feet and increase in 10-foot increments beyond 50 feet. Residential flagpoles are usually 20-25 feet high, depending on the location and environment. You also need to consider how it scales your home. Some homeowners choose gigantic flagpoles— 40-foot monsters—but this is rare.
The cleat and halyard mechanism is located externally to the pole. However, it can be internal. External mechanisms are better for homeowners and most other scenarios. Commercial locations and high-traffic areas typically have flags with internal mechanisms, and you can secure the halyard mechanism with a small door. You should expect the internal mechanisms to operate by a winch handle pole or an internal cleat system. This allows you to crank the flag up or down manually.
There are many things to consider when looking for the right flag for your property. If you’re looking for the best in-ground flagpole, shop Federal Flags. We’ll take care of all your flagpole needs!
