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

Product Overview

This 25-foot fiberglass flag pole is built for high-wind environments and direct burial installation. The pole stands 25 feet above grade with a total height of 28 feet, including the 3-foot section that sits inside the ground sleeve. At 75 pounds, fiberglass construction keeps the pole lighter than comparable steel or aluminum options while maintaining structural integrity in extreme conditions.

The pole uses an external halyard system with #10 (5/16 inch) rope for raising and lowering flags. It ships with an 8-inch aluminum cleat, 5-inch gold ball, and 16-inch flash collar. The round tapered profile measures 6 inches at ground level and narrows to 3 inches at the tip.

Where This Product Fits Best

This pole is rated for 180 mph winds in an unflagged state, which makes it appropriate for coastal properties, hurricane-prone regions, and exposed sites where standard poles would be at risk of failure. The fiberglass material resists corrosion, so it holds up in salt air and humid climates without the maintenance concerns associated with painted steel.

The 25-foot above-grade height and recommended 5 x 8 foot flag size suit commercial properties, municipal buildings, schools, and industrial facilities where visibility and proportionality matter. Direct burial installation with the included 3-foot ground sleeve makes this a permanent installation suited to sites where the pole will remain in place long-term.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 180 mph wind rating applies when the pole is unflagged. Flying a flag in high-wind conditions changes the load on the pole, and flag size directly affects that load. The 5 x 8 foot standard flag size listed is based on proportional guidelines for this pole height, but actual flag selection should account for typical wind conditions at the site.

External halyard systems place the rope on the outside of the pole, which simplifies flag changes and maintenance compared to internal halyard designs. The tradeoff is that the rope and hardware are exposed to weather and potential tampering. The 8-inch aluminum cleat secures the halyard at ground level.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This is an in-ground installation. The included ground sleeve has an 8-inch inside diameter and a 3-foot length. The sleeve is set in concrete first, and the pole drops into it after the foundation cures. Proper foundation depth and diameter depend on local soil conditions and frost lines, which vary by site.

The white fiberglass finish does not require painting and resists UV degradation. The 16-inch flash collar covers the transition between the pole and the ground sleeve, providing a finished appearance and helping to keep debris out of the foundation.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Day-to-day operation centers on the external halyard. Flags are attached to the #10 rope using standard flag clips or snaps, raised to height, and secured at the 8-inch cleat. Lowering the flag reverses the process. The external system allows one person to change flags without tools or access equipment.

The 5-inch gold ball at the top is a traditional ornamental finial and also serves as the attachment point for the pulley hardware. Replacement balls and pulleys are available if hardware wears over time. The halyard rope itself is a wear item and may need replacement after years of exposure depending on climate and use frequency.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This flag pole carries a 15-year warranty.

The 180 mph wind rating is based on unflagged conditions. Flags should be removed in advance of severe weather events to reduce load on the pole and prevent flag damage.
