CHOOSING
A FLAG POLE FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Will
the flag remain flying, day and night, or be taken
down daily?
For permanent 24 hour use: internal halyard poles
are suited for this and provide security. External
halyards may be your choice if taken down daily.
Also, on a taller pole, such as 40-50', an internal
halyard is fast and easy to take down if flying a
12'x18' flag.
What
size flag do you want to fly?
Do you want more attention to your business and
want to fly the largest flag possible?
Fiberglass
or aluminum?
What kind of look do you want? What is your budget?
A white fiberglass pole may be more attractive in
your setting than aluminum and vice versa.
Fiberglass poles keep their looks! Aluminum standard
satin finish will pit and discolor with age unless
you order anodized at an extra cost.
All
poles supplied with truck/finial, cleat, halyard and
standard size flag.

CHOOSING
A RESIDENTIAL FLAG POLE
What
is the height of the house?
If it is a one-story house, a 20-foot pole would
be proportionate. For a two-story house, a 20, 25
or 30-foot pole would be proportionate.
Fiberglass
or aluminum?
We would recommend a white fiberglass pole. It
is non-institutional and has a look of beauty. It
also will not make the snap hook noise when the wind
blows. The fiberglass absorbs the sound.
These
poles are extremely attractive residential poles.
