30 Foot Fiberglass Flag Pole | 6.75 Inch Base Diameter | Internal Halyard | In Ground | Rated for 125 MPH

Product Overview

This is a 30-foot fiberglass flag pole with a white finish, designed for in-ground direct burial installation. The pole stands 30 feet above grade with a total height of 33 feet including the below-grade portion. It features a round tapered profile that 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 configuration protects the halyard from weather and external contact. The complete assembly weighs 77 pounds.

Included components are fittings for internal ropes, a stationary truck, a 6-inch gold ball top, one set of brass snaps with white vinyl covers, and a 16-inch flash collar. The ground sleeve has an 8-inch inside diameter and a 3-foot length for below-grade support.

Where This Product Fits Best

This flag pole is sized for properties where a 30-foot above-grade height provides appropriate visibility and scale. The standard flag size for this pole is 5 x 8 feet. Sites should have adequate space for a below-grade foundation accommodating the 3-foot ground sleeve.

Fiberglass construction makes this pole suitable for coastal, industrial, or corrosive environments where steel or aluminum poles may degrade more quickly. The 125 mph wind rating applies to unflagged conditions, which is relevant for locations subject to high wind events where the flag would be removed during severe weather.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 125 mph wind rating is measured under unflagged conditions. When a flag is flying, wind load on the pole increases, so the effective wind tolerance during normal operation will be lower than the stated rating. Flag removal is expected during severe wind events.

The internal halyard design routes the rope through the interior of the shaft. This keeps the halyard out of direct exposure to wind, UV, and physical contact, which reduces noise from external ropes contacting the pole and limits access to the raising mechanism.

The round tapered shape and fiberglass material provide a non-conductive structure. This pole will not conduct electricity, which is a consideration for installations near power lines or in locations where lightning risk is a concern.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This pole requires in-ground burial using the included 3-foot ground sleeve. The sleeve has an 8-inch inside diameter and supports the pole''s 6.75-inch base. Proper concrete foundation work is necessary to secure the sleeve and support the pole under load.

The 16-inch flash collar covers the transition between the pole and ground surface, providing a finished appearance and helping prevent debris accumulation at the base. The stationary truck at the top holds the 6-inch gold ball and supports the internal halyard routing.

At 77 pounds total weight, the pole requires appropriate equipment and personnel for handling and installation. The 33-foot total length should be considered for delivery access and maneuvering on site.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, the internal halyard is accessed through a door or opening in the pole shaft, typically located near the base. The brass snaps with white vinyl covers attach the flag grommets to the halyard, and the flag is raised and lowered by pulling the rope from inside the pole access point.

The internal system means there is no external rope or cleat visible on the pole exterior. This keeps the mechanism secured and gives the installation a cleaner profile. The white finish and gold ball top establish the visual presentation without additional finishing or painting required after installation.

Routine use involves raising and lowering the 5 x 8 foot flag as appropriate for the site. The halyard rope will require inspection and eventual replacement over time depending on use frequency and environmental exposure.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This flag pole carries a 15-year warranty. The fiberglass construction provides a non-conductive pole structure.

The 125 mph wind rating applies to unflagged conditions. Operators should follow standard practices for flag removal during high wind events to stay within safe load limits for the pole.
