30 Foot Fiberglass Flag Pole | 6.75 Inch Base Diameter | Internal Halyard | In Ground | Rated for 180 MPH

Product Overview

This is a 30-foot fiberglass flag pole designed for permanent in-ground installation. The pole stands 30 feet above grade with a total length of 33 feet, accounting for the below-grade burial depth. The round tapered profile measures 6.75 inches at ground level and narrows to 3 inches at the tip.

The pole uses an internal halyard system with #10 (5/16 inch) rope, keeping the flag-raising mechanism enclosed within the shaft. This pole is rated for 180 mph wind speed in an unflagged condition. Total weight is 107 pounds.

The pole ships in white as standard, with custom color available. Included components are the stationary truck, gold ball top (6 inch diameter), one set of brass snaps with white vinyl covers, nylon cleat, and 16 inch flash collar.

Where This Product Fits Best

This pole is sized for installations where a 5 x 8 foot flag is standard. The 30-foot above-grade height suits commercial properties, corporate campuses, municipal buildings, schools, and industrial facilities where flag display is required at a visible but moderate height.

The 180 mph unflagged wind rating makes this pole appropriate for coastal regions, high-wind corridors, and areas subject to severe weather events. Fiberglass construction eliminates corrosion concerns in salt air, humid climates, and environments with chemical exposure.

The internal halyard design is typical for locations where rope security or vandal resistance is a consideration, such as public-facing properties or unsupervised sites.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 180 mph wind rating applies to the pole in an unflagged state. When a flag is flown, wind load increases and effective resistance decreases. Flag size, material weight, and local sustained wind conditions affect how the pole performs under load.

Fiberglass does not conduct electricity, which is relevant for installations near power lines or in areas where lightning risk is elevated. The material also resists UV degradation and does not require painting or sealing to maintain structural integrity over time.

The round tapered shape provides consistent flex characteristics along the pole length. At 107 pounds, the pole requires mechanical assistance or a crew for installation but is lighter than equivalent steel or aluminum poles of this height.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires a ground sleeve with an 8-inch inside diameter and 3-foot length. The pole buries 3 feet below grade, leaving 30 feet exposed. The 16-inch flash collar covers the transition at grade level.

The internal halyard exits the pole shaft and secures to the included nylon cleat. Rope replacement or adjustment is performed by accessing the cleat and feeding new line through the stationary truck at the top. The brass snaps with white vinyl covers attach the flag grommets to the halyard.

Fiberglass surfaces can be cleaned with standard non-abrasive methods. The material does not rust, pit, or oxidize. The 15-year warranty covers the pole.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, this pole operates through the internal halyard system. The flag attaches at the brass snaps and raises or lowers by pulling the rope and securing it at the cleat. The internal rope path keeps the halyard from slapping against the pole shaft in wind, reducing noise and wear.

For facilities that lower flags daily or adjust for weather, the cleat position at the base provides accessible control without ladders or equipment. The stationary truck at the top does not rotate, so the flag wraps around the pole in shifting winds rather than spinning freely.

The 5 x 8 foot standard flag size is a guideline based on pole height and visual proportion. Smaller flags can be flown. Larger or heavier flags increase wind load on the pole and hardware.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This pole carries a 15-year warranty. The fiberglass construction is non-conductive. The 180 mph wind rating is specified for the pole in an unflagged condition.

Proper installation in a correctly sized and set ground sleeve is required for the pole to perform to its rated capacity. Foundation and footing requirements depend on local soil conditions and code requirements.
