Product Overview
This 40-foot fiberglass flag pole is a round tapered design with external halyard operation, built for direct burial in-ground installation. The pole stands 39 feet above grade with 4 feet of shaft below ground level, supported by a ground sleeve. Total pole height is 43 feet. The shaft tapers from 7 inches at ground level to 4 inches at the tip.
The pole is white fiberglass construction, weighing 143 pounds. It ships with a stationary truck, 8-inch gold ball top, #10 (5/16 inch) halyard, brass snaps with white vinyl covers, 8.5-inch nylon cleat, and 16-inch flash collar. The standard flag size for this pole is 6 by 10 feet.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole is rated for 125 mph wind speeds in an unflagged condition. That rating makes it suitable for installations in high-wind regions or exposed locations where wind load is a design concern. Fiberglass construction resists corrosion, which is relevant for coastal environments or facilities where metal poles would degrade over time.
The 39-foot above-grade height and 6x10 foot flag capacity position this pole for corporate campuses, municipal buildings, schools, automotive dealerships, and commercial properties where a prominent flag display is required. The external halyard system allows flag raising and lowering from ground level.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The 125 mph wind rating applies to the pole in an unflagged state. When a flag is flown, wind load on the flag transfers to the pole, which reduces the effective wind speed the assembly can handle. Flag size, material, and wind conditions all affect that relationship.
Fiberglass does not conduct electricity the way metal poles do, which can be a consideration in certain installation environments. The round tapered profile provides a traditional appearance while the white finish maintains visibility from a distance.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole installs using direct burial with the included ground sleeve. The sleeve has an 8-inch inside diameter and 4-foot length, which establishes the foundation depth and alignment for the shaft. Proper concrete foundation preparation is required to secure the sleeve and support the pole under load.
The 16-inch flash collar covers the transition between the pole shaft and the ground sleeve, providing a finished appearance at grade. The external halyard system uses a nylon cleat mounted at accessible height for securing the halyard line. Brass snaps with vinyl covers attach the flag to the halyard.
At 143 pounds, the pole requires equipment or crew capacity for handling during installation. The stationary truck at the top does not rotate, so the flag will wrap around the pole in shifting wind conditions.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Day-to-day operation involves raising and lowering the flag using the external halyard. The #10 halyard line runs through the stationary truck and secures at the 8.5-inch nylon cleat. This allows one person to manage flag changes from ground level without climbing or lift equipment.
The 6x10 foot standard flag size provides a reference for flag selection. Larger or heavier flags increase wind load on the pole, which should be considered when selecting flag material and deciding whether to fly the flag during high-wind events. The brass snaps and vinyl covers attach the flag grommets to the halyard for secure positioning during flight.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This flag pole carries a 15-year warranty. The wind rating of 125 mph applies to the unflagged pole condition and reflects the structural capacity of the fiberglass shaft and hardware assembly.
Fiberglass is non-conductive, but installation should still follow applicable local codes regarding setback from power lines and grounding requirements based on site conditions and local authority requirements.
