You’ve got a flagpole, but can it withstand the wind? These are the things that help flagpoles resist the wind. Learn how to know if your flagpole is strong enough.
Flagpole construction uses many materials, but aluminum is generally the material of choice for most flagpoles. Aluminum is strong and lightweight, making it ideal for flagpole construction. It is also resistant to corrosion, meaning it can be left out in the elements without worry. Fiberglass flag poles are also very strong and weather-resistant. Steel flagpoles are incredibly strong, but aren’t as resistant to corrosion over time.
Aluminum poles come in various finishes, so it’s important to find the perfect one for you. While satin aluminum finishes are very popular, anodized aluminum is more resistant to corrosion and fading. Anodized aluminum is aluminum that is treated with chemicals and electricity to create a fully integrated anodic oxide coating into the structure of the aluminum, thus making it remarkably resistant. Additionally, anodized aluminum holds up better over time, ensuring your flagpole will stand tall for many years.
The thickness of the flagpole’s walls can keep it standing in even torrential weather. The thicker your flagpole is, the better its chances are of standing tall against winds and corrosion.
The butt diameter of a flagpole is the diameter of the pole’s base. The greater the diameter is, the better chance your flagpole has at standing up against high-speed winds. A larger base gives your flagpole more support, which is vital in its fight against the wind.
In-ground installation is paramount of the things that help flagpoles resist the wind and is a popular installation method. This gives your flagpole a strong base and provides more support to stand up to the elements.
Halyards are the ropes that hold up the flags. Internal halyard systems endure well against unpredictable weather and prevent tampering or theft of a flag. External halyards are perfectly fine for most home use of flags, but may wear out quickly over time.
Flagpoles have different wind speed ratings. Knowing the rating of your flagpole is crucial to determine if it can withstand the wind. Ensure your pole has the appropriate wind speed rating for your location to withstand the wind.
Federal Flags carries commercial flagpoles that can withstand winds of up to 315 MPH. Find a sturdy flagpole that suits all your allegiant needs today!
