20 Foot Above Ground | 23 Foot Total Height Fiberglass Flag Pole | 5.75 Inch Base Diameter | External Halyard | In Ground | Rated for 125 MPH

Product Overview

This 20 foot above ground fiberglass flag pole is designed for permanent in-ground installation at commercial, municipal, and institutional sites. The pole measures 23 feet in total length, with 20 feet exposed above grade after installation. It features a 5.75 inch base diameter and a 3 inch tip diameter, providing a stable structure for flag display in open environments. The pole is supplied with an external halyard system, gold ball finial, nylon cleat, and a 16 inch flash collar for a complete flag mounting solution.

Rated for 125 mph wind loads (unflagged), this fiberglass pole is suitable for locations subject to moderate to high wind exposure. The white finish and non-conductive fiberglass construction make it appropriate for a range of architectural and institutional settings. Typical installations include commercial properties, schools, government buildings, and sports venues requiring a durable, low-maintenance flag display solution.

Core Performance and Output

This fiberglass flag pole is engineered for structural performance in outdoor environments. The 5.75 inch base diameter and 36 lb pole weight provide stability for flags up to 4 x 6 feet. The 3 foot ground sleeve ensures secure direct burial and resists lateral movement under wind load. The pole is rated for 125 mph wind speeds (unflagged), supporting reliable operation in exposed locations.

Material selection and wall thickness are optimized for flexural strength and long-term durability. The non-conductive fiberglass construction eliminates electrical hazard concerns near lighting or power lines. Excessive flag size or installation in areas with sustained winds above the rated threshold may reduce service life or require additional engineering review.

Adjustability and Control Options

This pole uses an external halyard system with a #10 (5/16 inch) rope, allowing manual raising and lowering of the flag. The nylon cleat provides secure halyard tie-off at a comfortable working height. The gold ball finial and flash collar are included for standard flag pole presentation.

No integrated lighting or automation is provided. Flag position and halyard tension are adjusted manually. The pole is compatible with standard flag pole lighting fixtures if required for nighttime display, but lighting is not included.

Longevity and Reliability

The fiberglass construction is resistant to corrosion, UV degradation, and weathering. The pole is designed for long-term outdoor use with minimal maintenance. The white gelcoat finish maintains appearance and surface integrity over time.

A 15-year warranty covers structural integrity and material performance under normal use. Routine inspection of halyard, cleat, and fittings is recommended to ensure continued reliable operation. The pole is not susceptible to rust or galvanic corrosion, making it suitable for coastal or humid environments.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This pole is manufactured from high-strength fiberglass with a uniform white finish. The 23 foot total length includes a 3 foot ground sleeve for direct burial. The tip outside diameter is 3 inches, and the ground-level outside diameter is 5.75 inches. The included ground sleeve has an 8 inch inside diameter and is 3 feet long.

Accessories include a 6 inch gold ball finial, 16 inch flash collar, 8.5 inch nylon cleat, and external halyard fittings. The standard flag size is 4 x 6 feet. The pole weighs 36 lbs, allowing for manageable handling during installation while maintaining structural rigidity once set.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fiberglass flag pole is intended for permanent outdoor flag display at institutional, commercial, and public sites. It is suitable for locations requiring a non-conductive, corrosion-resistant pole with a clean architectural appearance. The 20 foot above ground height is appropriate for most property entrances, building fronts, and athletic venues.

• flag display
• commercial property flag mounting
• municipal flag installation
• facility flag display
• school flag installation
• government building flag display
• stadium flag display
• corporate facility flag display

The fiberglass material is well suited for environments with exposure to moisture, salt, or chemicals. The pole?s wind rating supports use in open or partially sheltered sites, but installation in extreme wind zones may require additional engineering review.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This pole is designed for direct burial using the supplied 3 foot ground sleeve. Installation requires excavation to the specified depth and backfilling with concrete or compacted material for stability. The pole?s weight and dimensions allow for manual handling by a small crew without specialized equipment.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic inspection of the halyard, cleat, and fittings. The fiberglass surface does not require painting or rust protection. In areas with high vandalism risk, external halyard systems may require additional security measures. The pole is compatible with standard flag pole lighting fixtures if nighttime flag illumination is required.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting height is 20 feet above grade, with the pole set 3 feet below ground using the included sleeve. Standard flag size is 4 x 6 feet, but smaller flags can be accommodated. Poles are commonly spaced individually at property entrances, building fronts, or athletic fields, with spacing determined by site layout and visual requirements.

Flag pole count and placement are based on visibility and site design. Using larger flags or installing in high wind areas may require closer attention to wind rating and pole selection. Higher mounting heights increase flag visibility but may require additional engineering for wind load.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fiberglass flag pole is non-conductive and does not present an electrical hazard near lighting or power lines. The pole is rated for 125 mph wind speeds (unflagged). All components are designed for outdoor use and long-term exposure to weather.

The product includes a 15-year warranty covering structural integrity and material performance. No additional certifications are specified. Routine inspection and maintenance of moving parts are recommended for continued safe operation.
