OUTDOOR FLAGPOLES
ALUMINUM ANTI-FURL ROTATING POLES – These poles are available in a brushed aluminum, white painted or wood grain finish. The top of the pole rotates on ball bearings so the flag will never tangle. There is no need for an unfurling tube. For the easiest and most versatile installation, these poles come with two flag fasteners for flying a grommeted flag and also with a snap and swivel ring for displaying banners with a pole sleeve and tab. Designed to be used with brackets that accept a 1″ outside diameter pole

WHITE TITAN FLAGPOLES – These flagpoles offer exceptional quality at a budget price. The flagpole tubing sections are heavy-duty 19 gauge first run quality steel. The entire inside length of the flagpole is galvanized to prevent rusting while the outside is beautifully finished with a white polyester powder coated painted finish. The tubing sections swedge together perfectly to provide a smooth exterior finish.
HOMESTEADER FLAGPOLES – All-aluminum ground set flagpoles available in 10′, 15′, 20′, & 25′ exposed heights. The silver anodized, seamless aluminum tubing sections swedge together providing a smooth exterior finish.
Ground Set Cone Tapered Aluminum (6063-T6) Flagpoles – Our cone tapered ground set aluminum flagpoles are precision fabricated from new, 6063-T6 tubing utilizing the industry’s most sophisticated manufacturing processes. The conical portion tapers approximately 1″ in every 5-1/2 feet. Poles with overall lengths of less than 38’6″ are shipped in one piece. Longer lengths are shipped in sections and will be factory fitted with a self-aligning sleeve which requires no field welding. Upon proper assembly a hair-line joint will occur. All poles are double spiral wrapped with protective paper and shipped in a hard fiber tube. All foundation dimensions listed in this catalog are intended for general guidelines only in good, firm, dry soil. It is recommended to consult and engineer for specific foundation dimensions suited to your exact location. STANDARD FINISHES All flagpole shafts are highly polished with fine grain aluminum oxide cloth resulting in a high quality, deep satin lustre finish. This finish represents the ultimate in architectural finishes for aluminum flagpoles. The elegant, soft sheen remains maintenance free. The following anodized finishes are available as standard colors. Note: For bronze, dark bronze #313 is supplied unless otherwise specified.

HURRICANE SERIES FLAGPOLES – WITH “M” WINCH Internal Halyard Ground Set Cone Tapered Aluminum Flagpoles These deluxe internal halyard flagpoles contain a winch mounted inside the flagpole shaft, operable only with a removable crank handle. As the stainless steel cable unwinds from the winch, it passes up through the inside of the flagpole shaft, over the truck sheave to the outside of the shaft, where the retainer ring provides a sliding anchor. A counterweight, heavily coated with neoprene, attached to the retainer ring, allows the halyard to be lowered for fastening or removing the flag. The halyard is then raised completely out of reach of vandals. The improved winch is gearless and self-locking at any point, eliminating the need for a separate brake. This direct drive winch provides rapid raising and lowering of the flag with little effort. This new, improved design does not require any welding, thus avoiding discoloration when an anodized finish is desired. No monthly lubrication is needed and this winch system is easily adaptable to existing on-site flagpoles.

FIBERGLASS SERIES – Our fiberglass flagpoles are manufactured to duplicate the classic Greek Entasis taper design. All poles have an ultra-hard, gel coat finish that stands up to the harshest of weather conditions. Our rugged gel coat finish is especially well suited near salt water or in other extreme weather conditions – our poles will not corrode, pit or rust. Since fiberglass is a non-conductor, no grounding is required; thus installation is easy and inexpensive. Our standard flagpoles have a Brilliant White pre-cast gel coat finish. Other colors are available upon request; please contact us for a prompt quotation. Our innovative molding process produces a flagpole shaft with a tensile strength of 50,000 pounds per square inch. Inside a steel clam shell mold, seven layers of reinforced fiberglass roving, mixed with a polyester resin is aligned in a vertical plane for maximum strength and placed on a thick layer of gel-coat. An inflatable bladder is laid the entire length of the mold. The mold is closed, the bladder inflated and the resulting pole is created by subtle pressure and slow curing during an exothermic chemical reaction.
