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

Product Overview

This 35-foot fiberglass flag pole is designed for permanent in-ground installation in high-wind environments. The pole is rated for 180 mph wind speeds in an unflagged condition and constructed from fiberglass with a white finish. Custom colors are available.

The pole uses a round tapered profile, measuring 7.25 inches at ground level and tapering to 3 inches at the tip. Total pole height is 39 feet, with 35 feet exposed above grade and 4 feet below ground within the ground sleeve. The complete assembly weighs 167 pounds.

The internal halyard system uses #10 (5/16 inch) rope routed inside the pole shaft. The pole ships with fittings for internal ropes, a stationary truck, gold ball top (8-inch diameter), one set of brass snaps with white vinyl covers, an internal cam cleat, and a 16-inch flash collar. The ground sleeve has a 9-inch inside diameter and 4-foot length.

Where This Product Fits Best

This flag pole is sized for 6x10 foot flags as the standard configuration. The 180 mph wind rating makes it suitable for coastal installations, hurricane-prone regions, and exposed sites where sustained high winds are a design consideration.

Fiberglass construction provides corrosion resistance in marine and industrial atmospheres where aluminum or steel poles would require more frequent maintenance. The internal halyard keeps the rope and hardware protected from weather and tampering, which is typical for civic, institutional, and commercial installations where appearance and security are priorities.

The in-ground base type requires a foundation capable of accepting the 4-foot ground sleeve with 9-inch inside diameter. This is a permanent installation method and is not relocatable without excavation.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 180 mph wind rating applies to the pole in an unflagged condition. Flag size and wind load affect the effective wind resistance of the installed system. The standard 6x10 foot flag size is matched to the pole height and structural capacity under normal operating conditions.

Fiberglass does not conduct electricity, which can be a consideration for installations near electrical infrastructure or in areas with lightning exposure. The material also does not corrode from salt air, chemical exposure, or acid rain, which reduces long-term surface maintenance compared to painted metal poles.

The tapered profile and 167-pound weight require appropriate rigging and equipment during installation. The 7.25-inch base diameter and 3-inch tip diameter define the structural geometry and affect mounting hardware sizing if auxiliary attachments are ever considered.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires excavation and preparation for the 4-foot ground sleeve with 9-inch inside diameter. The pole is inserted into the sleeve after the foundation is set and cured. The 16-inch flash collar covers the transition between the pole base and finished grade.

The internal halyard system accesses the rope through a door or port at the base of the pole. The cam cleat secures the halyard tension when the flag is raised. Brass snaps with white vinyl covers attach the flag to the halyard and reduce metal-on-pole contact noise.

The gold ball top and stationary truck are pre-fitted. Routine maintenance involves inspecting the halyard for wear, checking snap hardware, and cleaning the pole surface as needed. Fiberglass does not require repainting under normal weathering conditions.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Operators raise and lower flags using the internal halyard accessed at the base of the pole. The cam cleat holds the rope in position without requiring external cleats or tie-off hardware on the pole exterior. This keeps the installation cleaner and reduces opportunities for unauthorized access to the halyard.

Flag changes are made by lowering the halyard, unclipping the brass snaps, attaching a new flag, and raising the halyard back to position. The internal routing means the rope is not exposed to UV or weather degradation along its length, which can extend halyard service life compared to external systems.

The white finish and tapered profile are consistent with civic and commercial flag display standards. Custom color options allow the pole to match site branding or architectural requirements where white is not appropriate.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This flag pole carries a 15-year warranty.

The 180 mph wind rating is based on unflagged conditions. Operators should lower or remove flags during severe weather events to reduce wind load on the pole and foundation system.

Fiberglass is non-conductive, but the metal hardware at the top of the pole (ball, truck, snaps) can attract lightning. Grounding and lightning protection should be evaluated based on local codes and site conditions.
