Product Overview
This is a 40-foot fiberglass flag pole with an external halyard system and in-ground base. The pole is finished in white and features a round tapered shape. It is designed for direct burial installation and includes a 4-foot ground sleeve for secure mounting.
The pole has a base outside diameter of 8 inches and a tip outside diameter of 3 inches. It weighs 217 pounds and is supplied with a stationary truck, gold ball top, brass snaps with white vinyl covers, an 8-inch aluminum cleat, and a 16-inch flash collar. The standard flag size for this pole is 6 by 10 feet.
This flag pole is rated to withstand wind speeds up to 180 mph when unflagged. The total height is 44 feet, with 40 feet above grade. All fittings for external rope operation are included.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 40-foot fiberglass flag pole is suitable for both commercial and residential sites requiring a tall, durable flag display. The 180 mph wind rating supports use in areas exposed to severe weather or high wind conditions.
It is commonly installed at schools, government buildings, corporate campuses, sports complexes, and large residential properties. The in-ground direct burial design is intended for permanent installations where long-term stability is required.
The white finish and clean tapered profile allow the pole to blend with a range of architectural styles and site layouts. The external halyard system is appropriate for locations where halyard access and visibility are preferred.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The fiberglass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in harsh weather environments. The 180 mph wind rating applies when the pole is unflagged, supporting reliable operation in exposed locations.
The external halyard system uses a #10 rope and is managed with an 8-inch aluminum cleat. The included stationary truck and gold ball top are standard for this pole class. The 16-inch flash collar covers the ground sleeve interface for a finished appearance.
The pole is designed to accommodate a 6 by 10 foot flag. The 8-inch base diameter and 4-foot ground sleeve provide a stable foundation for the full 40-foot above-grade height.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This flag pole is installed in-ground using the supplied 4-foot ground sleeve. The direct burial method requires excavation and proper backfilling to ensure stability and alignment.
The fiberglass material resists rust and surface degradation, reducing maintenance requirements over time. The white finish is formulated to withstand UV exposure and weathering.
All external halyard fittings, cleat, and hardware are included for standard operation. The pole is designed for long-term use in both commercial and residential settings, with a 15-year warranty from LED Lighting Supply.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, the external halyard system allows you to raise and lower the flag from ground level using the rope and cleat. The 8-inch aluminum cleat provides a secure tie-off point for the halyard.
The stationary truck and gold ball top remain fixed at the pole's tip, providing a finished appearance and supporting the halyard's movement. The included brass snaps with vinyl covers attach directly to the flag grommets for secure display.
The 16-inch flash collar sits at grade to cover the ground sleeve and provide a clean transition from pole to surface. The fiberglass construction and white finish require minimal ongoing maintenance beyond periodic cleaning and hardware inspection.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This flag pole is rated for wind speeds up to 180 mph when unflagged. The fiberglass construction is designed for durability and long-term outdoor use.
LED Lighting Supply provides a 15-year warranty on this flag pole. All included hardware is commercial grade.
