30 Foot Fiberglass Flag Pole | 6.5 Inch Base Diameter | External Halyard | Anchor Base | Rated for 125 MPH

Product Overview

This 30 Foot Fiberglass Flag Pole is designed for permanent outdoor flag display at commercial, municipal, and institutional sites. The pole features a 6.5-inch base diameter, external halyard system, and anchor base mounting for secure installation. It is engineered for locations requiring a 125 mph wind rating (unflagged) and is suitable for standard 5 x 8 ft flag sizes.

The fiberglass construction provides non-conductivity and corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for coastal or high-humidity environments. Typical installations include facility entrances, government buildings, and school campuses where a 30-foot pole height is required for visibility and compliance.

Core Performance and Output

This pole is rated for 125 mph wind loads without a flag, supporting reliable operation in exposed or open areas. The 6.5-inch base diameter and 78 lb weight provide structural stability for a 30-foot height. The anchor base design ensures secure attachment to concrete foundations using 3/4-inch diameter, 24-inch anchor bolts (sold separately).

The fiberglass material resists corrosion and does not conduct electricity, reducing maintenance in harsh environments. The pole supports a standard 5 x 8 ft flag; larger flags may exceed wind load ratings. Excessive flag size or installation in areas with higher wind exposure may require additional engineering review.

Adjustability and Control Options

This model uses an external halyard system with a #10 (5/16 inch) rope, 8.5-inch nylon cleat, and brass snaps with vinyl covers. The stationary truck and gold ball top are included. The external halyard allows for straightforward flag raising and lowering from ground level.

No internal halyard, winch, or locking system is provided. The pole is not designed for automated or remote flag control. Halyard tension and flag security are managed manually at the cleat.

Longevity and Reliability

The fiberglass construction is resistant to rust, corrosion, and UV degradation. The pole is suitable for long-term outdoor use in a range of climates, including coastal and high-humidity regions. The white gelcoat finish provides additional weather protection and maintains appearance over time.

Routine inspection of the halyard, cleat, and anchor hardware is recommended. The 15-year warranty covers structural integrity under normal operating conditions.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This flag pole measures 30 feet in total height with a 6.5-inch ground-level outside diameter and a 3-inch tip diameter. The base plate measures 10.24 x 10.24 inches, with a 9-11 inch bolt circle and 2.75-inch bolt projection. The pole weighs 78 lbs and is finished in white; custom colors are available by request.

Included hardware consists of a stationary truck, gold ball top (6-inch diameter), external halyard, brass snaps with vinyl covers, and an 8.5-inch nylon cleat. Anchor bolts and base cover are not included and must be sourced separately.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fiberglass flag pole is intended for permanent outdoor flag display at commercial, municipal, and institutional sites where a 30-foot height and 125 mph wind rating are required. The non-conductive, corrosion-resistant design is suitable for both inland and coastal environments.

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

Environmental characteristics include resistance to corrosion, non-conductivity, and suitability for high-wind locations when installed per specifications. Not intended for use with oversized flags or in locations exceeding the rated wind speed.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires an anchor base foundation with a 9-11 inch bolt circle and 3/4-inch diameter, 24-inch anchor bolts. The pole is set over the anchor bolts and secured with the included base plate. Proper alignment and torque of anchor hardware are critical for wind load performance.

Routine maintenance includes checking halyard condition, cleat security, and inspecting for surface damage or hardware loosening. The fiberglass surface can be cleaned with mild detergent and water. Replacement halyard and hardware are standard components and readily available.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting height is 30 feet above grade, with the pole installed in open areas for maximum flag visibility. Spacing from buildings or other poles is determined by flag size and local wind patterns to prevent interference or flag entanglement.

Most installations use a single pole per flag location, but multiple poles may be grouped for multi-flag displays at entrances or plazas. Using larger flags or multiple flags on a single pole may exceed wind load ratings and is not recommended without engineering review.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This product does not carry electrical or lighting certifications. The fiberglass construction is non-conductive and corrosion-resistant. The pole is rated for 125 mph wind loads (unflagged) when installed per manufacturer guidelines.

The 15-year warranty covers structural integrity and material defects under normal use. Anchor bolts and base cover are not included and must be specified separately for a complete installation.
