25 Foot Fiberglass Flag Pole | 6 Inch Base Diameter | Internal Halyard | In Ground | Rated for 180 MPH

Product Overview

This is a 25-foot fiberglass flag pole with a 6-inch base diameter at ground level, tapering to 3 inches at the tip. The pole uses an internal halyard system and is designed for in-ground installation. Total pole length is 28 feet, with 25 feet exposed above grade and 3 feet below ground inside the included ground sleeve.

The pole is rated for 180 mph winds in an unflagged condition. It ships in white as standard, with custom color available. Complete weight is 75 lbs. The standard flag size for this pole is 5 x 8 feet.

Included components: ground sleeve (8-inch inside diameter, 3 feet long), stationary truck, 5-inch gold ball top, internal rope fittings, #10 (5/16-inch) halyard, one set of brass snaps with white vinyl covers, nylon cleat, and 16-inch flash collar.

Where This Product Fits Best

This pole is appropriate for permanent in-ground installations at commercial properties, municipal buildings, schools, and similar sites where a mid-height flag display is needed. The 25-foot above-grade height works well for buildings with single or two-story profiles where taller poles would appear out of scale.

Fiberglass construction makes this pole suitable for coastal locations, humid climates, or sites with salt exposure where corrosion resistance matters. The 180 mph wind rating in unflagged condition supports installation in high-wind zones, including hurricane-prone regions, though proper foundation preparation is required.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 180 mph wind rating applies when the pole is unflagged. With a flag flying, wind load increases and effective tolerance decreases. The 5 x 8 foot standard flag size is matched to this pole''s structural capacity under normal wind conditions.

The round tapered shape reduces wind resistance compared to straight-wall designs. The taper from 6 inches at ground level to 3 inches at the tip also shifts the center of gravity lower, improving stability.

Fiberglass does not conduct electricity, which can be a consideration near overhead lines or in areas with lightning exposure. It also does not rust, eliminating the maintenance cycle associated with painted steel poles in corrosive environments.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The pole installs into the included 3-foot ground sleeve, which has an 8-inch inside diameter. The sleeve is set in concrete during site preparation, and the pole drops into the sleeve after the foundation cures. The 16-inch flash collar covers the sleeve opening at grade.

The internal halyard system routes the rope inside the pole shaft, protecting it from weather, UV exposure, and tampering. Access is through the nylon cleat mounted near the base. The #10 halyard and brass snaps with vinyl covers are included.

At 75 lbs, the pole can typically be raised by a small crew with appropriate rigging. The stationary truck at the top is a fixed pulley assembly. The gold ball top is decorative and covers the truck hardware.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, flag changes and adjustments happen at ground level using the internal halyard. The cleat secures the halyard in position after raising or lowering the flag. The brass snaps attach to flag grommets and are covered with white vinyl to reduce noise and wear.

Operators typically lower flags during severe weather events. While the pole is rated for 180 mph unflagged, flying a flag in high winds adds stress to both the flag and the halyard system. Lowering the flag during storms extends flag life and reduces hardware wear.

The internal halyard design also limits unauthorized access to the flag, which is relevant for schools, government buildings, and corporate sites where flag protocol or security is a concern.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This pole carries a 15-year warranty.

The 180 mph wind rating is an unflagged rating. Foundation design and soil conditions affect overall installation performance and should be evaluated by a qualified installer or engineer for sites in high-wind zones.
