How Do I Choose What Flagpole Is
Right For My Project?
|
Flagpoles Facts, and
information to help you
choose. |
|
Home Kits...
Are light duty multi-section
flagpoles manufactured of
thin wall tubing for flying
smaller (3x5) light weight
flags on relatively calm
days. Hundreds of thousands
of customer use these
economical poles to display
the American flag at there
home, real estate sales
offices & developers use
these to draw attention to
there new locations and
developments. Home kit
flagpoles are not given wind
ratings; but generally
accepted in the industry,
you can expect the pole to
withstand 35 MPH wind, for
poles that are 2" - 2 1/2"
in diameter without a flag.
The 3" kits are stronger.
Bear in mind there is no
such stated warrantee. No
light duty home kit sold
anywhere carry a warrantee
pertaining to wind speed.
Over time, ware and tare due
to vibrations twisting and
bending the multi section
flagpoles have a history of
life expectancy of 3 to 10
years depending on how much
stress has been placed on
them due to size of flags
flown, number of flags, and
the wind pressure over time.

Commercial Quality
Residential Flagpoles..
Are a commercial grade
of aluminum, and
manufactured like the
commercial flagpoles.
Typically they are smaller
in diameter than the
commercial poles, Estate
residential flagpoles use more
economical parts and
fittings than the commercial
flagpole line, but the
components are of much
higher quality than those
used in the home kits. The
wall thickness of estate
flagpoles is 2 to 4 times
thicker than home kits, and
Estate residential flagpoles are
manufactured in as few
sections as possible for
shipping . Most 20, 25 and
some 30 ft poles are one
piece construction, which
allows for superior wind
ratings.. Estate residential
have specific wind ratings,
such as the
E20 which is rated to
123 MPH. Our 3pc sectional
Special is manufactured to
allow us to ship a good
quality flagpole by FedEx for
much less than motor freight
cost of the one piece poles.
Our AFSS20 has a
wind rating of 100 MPH and
is a well made quality
flagpole, easy to assemble
and install. Delivers
UPS -
FedEx. |

Commercial
Flagpoles...
Our Continental Series of
external halyard flagpoles
are superior in the
industry, they have the
highest tested and proven
wind ratings in the
industry. Produced with the
highest quality components,
our Continental flagpoles
are chosen by the most
discriminating buyers. While
we are forced to compete
with lesser quality
product manufactures we
provide superior products for just a few dollars more.
You can add two options that
will make your pole so
superior to anything else
offered anywhere, ( like our
Sealed Bearing revolving
top heads (still standard)
on all our poles 8" diameter & up) and a
Cast Aluminum Flash Collar.
We have deleted these items
from our standard poles in
an effort to stay completive
with lesser quality poles
being offered by others.
Wind ratings on flagpoles is
for unflagged conditions. |

Commercial
Sentry Key Lock
Door Flagpoles...
Same pole shafts as above
with the added features of
an economical internal
halyard system and a key
lock door for security. All
our Sentry poles have a
revolving top head, and we
include a ball ornamen.
Others us a fixed cap that
does not track with the wind
and a lesser quality piano
hinge door
system. |

Commercial Stainless Steel
Winch And Stainless Steel
Cable Internal Halyard
System
Independence Flagpoles
... None Better.
The
ultimate in flagpoles,
combines the shafts of our
Continental Series and the
patented stainless steel
winch, and SS cable system
for a superior pole and
superior function of a cable
based winch system. Our
poles reach superior wind
ratings and incorporate a
welded in door frame to
reinforce the flagpole,
while others use a simple
cut out and piano hinge. (shown
here) (Our
winch system shown here.)
on our pole you do not need
to open door just insert
winch through small portal
(1/2").
This winch system allows the easy raising
and lowering of large flags
with a stop and lock
anywhere winch and the
lifetime durability of SS
cable. (rope systems should
be maintained yearly and
changed every 2 to 5 years.)
The same SS cable that was
popular in the control
mechanisms of airplanes is
the cable used in these
poles. We also provide
what's called a Flag
Arrangement, (Shown Below)
that way you cable is rigged
to fly flags independently
of the cable that raises and
lowers your flags. That way
you don't clamp your flag
snaps to the main cable
which causes premature wear
and is a costly to repair.
The winch access door locks,
and is only accessible using
a winch handle. Never worry
about loosing a flag to
theft. |
