35 Foot Fiberglass Flag Pole | 7.25 Inch Base Diameter | External Halyard | In Ground | Rated for 180 MPH

Product Overview

This is a 35-foot fiberglass flag pole with external halyard operation, designed for permanent in-ground installation. The pole stands 35 feet above grade with a total height of 39 feet including the buried section. The shaft tapers from a 7.25-inch outer diameter at ground level to 3 inches at the tip.

The pole is finished in white and weighs 167 pounds. It is rated for 180 mph wind speeds in an unflagged condition. The external halyard system uses #10 rope with brass snaps and white vinyl covers.

Included components are the stationary truck, 8-inch gold ball top, 8-inch aluminum cleat, and 16-inch flash collar. The pole is sized for 6 x 10 foot flags.

Where This Product Fits Best

This pole is intended for sites where a permanent, in-ground fiberglass installation is preferred over steel or aluminum. Fiberglass does not conduct electricity, which may be relevant for locations near overhead lines or in areas where grounding presents complications. The material also resists corrosion in coastal or high-humidity environments.

The 180 mph wind rating applies to unflagged conditions. This rating makes the pole suitable for installations in high-wind zones, including hurricane-prone coastal regions. Sites that experience sustained high winds should evaluate flag removal protocols during severe weather events.

The 35-foot above-grade height and 6 x 10 foot flag capacity are appropriate for commercial properties, municipal buildings, schools, and memorial installations where flag visibility at moderate height is required.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The external halyard system positions the rope on the outside of the pole shaft. This allows flag raising and lowering from ground level using the 8-inch aluminum cleat mounted on the pole. External halyards are accessible for rope inspection and replacement without specialized tools or pole disassembly.

The round tapered shape provides structural efficiency, reducing wind load as the shaft narrows toward the tip. The 7.25-inch base diameter supports the 35-foot above-grade span while the 3-inch tip accommodates the stationary truck and ball top.

The 180 mph unflagged rating reflects the pole''s structural capacity under wind load without a flag attached. When a flag is flown, wind resistance increases. Standard practice is to remove flags during high-wind events to prevent damage to the flag, halyard, and fittings.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This pole requires in-ground burial using the included ground sleeve. The ground sleeve has a 9-inch inside diameter and 4-foot length, which defines the foundation depth and concrete form dimensions. The total pole height of 39 feet accounts for the 4-foot buried section.

The 16-inch flash collar covers the transition between the pole shaft and ground sleeve, providing a finished appearance at grade level. The pole weighs 167 pounds, which typically requires rigging equipment or a crew for safe handling during installation.

Fiberglass construction eliminates rust and galvanic corrosion concerns. The white finish is factory-applied. Periodic inspection of the halyard, snaps, and cleat is typical maintenance for external halyard systems.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

The external halyard allows flag changes without climbing or lowering the pole. You attach the flag to the brass snaps on the halyard, raise it using the rope, and secure the rope at the 8-inch aluminum cleat. Lowering follows the reverse sequence.

With a 6 x 10 foot flag, the pole presents a proportional display visible from ground level and moderate distances. The 35-foot height clears most single-story rooflines and provides adequate separation from landscaping and adjacent structures.

In high-wind conditions, you lower and remove the flag to protect the halyard system and fittings. The pole itself is rated to remain standing in 180 mph winds when unflagged.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This flag pole carries a 15-year warranty.

The 180 mph wind rating is an unflagged structural rating. Flags must be removed during severe weather to prevent damage to the flag and halyard components. Fiberglass is non-conductive, which reduces electrical risk during installation and in permanent placement near power infrastructure.

Proper foundation construction is essential for achieving the rated wind performance. The ground sleeve dimensions and burial depth must be followed per installation requirements.
