When choosing a property flagpole, first choose the site and also desired height. You can see the flag from different angles. Is it so high that you have to crane your neck to see it? Is it so low that it is hiding behind shrubbery? Choose something in between.

Next, select your flagpole material. One of the most popular products for property flagpoles is aluminum, for its high toughness, low maintenance, reduced weight, as well as low cost. Fiberglass is the second most preferred product because it flaunts a tough shiny gel coat coating that holds up against most soiling and scraping.

Now pick either an exterior or interior halyard system. A halyard system is the means whereby the flag is raised as well as lowered. It consists of a rope or wire threaded through a vehicle or pulley device at the top. Exterior halyard systems are set up on the outside of the pole, secured area by wrapping the rope or cable television around a simple cleat at the base of the pole. Interior halyard systems are located on the inside of the post, with a port at the base for a special winch or handle. In locations where criminal damage is a worry, pick an internal halyard system.

Ultimately, choose what shade you want your pole to be and whether you intend to add custom-made accessories, such as a finial or sphere, eagle, or any other sort of ornament.

When it comes time to mount the flag itself, dig an opening. The size of the hole depends upon the size of the flagpole. Damp down the hole and after that load it with concrete. Place a steel ground sleeve into which the flag will certainly be positioned. Make sure that ten percent of the pole length is underground, and that the post doesn’t touch the concrete, since concrete corrodes most flag products. If you have any kind of questions, seek advice from the maker before proceeding. In most cases, the producer can mount the flag for you.
