Product Overview
This is a 40-foot fiberglass flag pole designed for permanent in-ground installation. The pole stands 40 feet above grade with 4 feet below ground, bringing the total height to 44 feet. It uses an internal halyard system and carries a wind rating of 180 mph in an unflagged condition.
The pole is constructed from fiberglass with a round tapered profile. The base diameter at ground level measures 8 inches, tapering to 3 inches at the tip. Total weight is 217 pounds. The standard finish is white, with custom color options available.
Included components are fittings for internal ropes, a stationary truck, an 8-inch gold ball top, one set of brass snaps with white vinyl covers, an internal cam cleat, and a 16-inch flash collar. The pole is sized for 6x10 foot flags.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole is appropriate for commercial, institutional, and municipal installations where a permanent in-ground flagpole is required. The 40-foot above-grade height provides visibility suitable for corporate campuses, government buildings, schools, and memorial sites.
The 180 mph wind rating makes this pole a consideration for installations in high-wind or coastal exposure zones. Fiberglass construction resists corrosion in salt air and marine environments where aluminum or steel poles may degrade over time.
The internal halyard design keeps ropes enclosed inside the pole shaft. This configuration is commonly specified where external halyard noise, tampering, or unauthorized lowering of flags is a concern.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The 180 mph wind rating applies to the pole in an unflagged state. Actual wind tolerance during operation depends on flag size, material, and wind conditions at the time. The 6x10 foot flag size is the standard recommendation for this pole height and taper.
Fiberglass does not conduct electricity and is non-corrosive. These characteristics make it suitable for installations near electrical infrastructure or in environments with chemical exposure, salt air, or persistent moisture.
The round tapered shape from 8 inches at the base to 3 inches at the tip distributes wind load across the pole height. The 217-pound total weight and 44-foot overall length should be factored into equipment and crew requirements for handling and setting.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole requires in-ground installation using the included ground sleeve. The sleeve has a 9-inch inside diameter and a 4-foot length, establishing the below-grade foundation depth. Site preparation must accommodate the sleeve dimensions and local soil or frost conditions.
The internal halyard uses a #10 (5/16 inch) rope routed through the pole shaft. Access for flag attachment and raising is through the internal cam cleat located at the base. The 16-inch flash collar covers the ground sleeve opening and provides a finished appearance at grade level.
Fiberglass construction requires minimal long-term maintenance compared to metal poles. It does not rust, oxidize, or require repainting under normal exposure. Halyard rope and hardware should be inspected periodically for wear.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Once installed, flag raising and lowering is performed using the internal halyard system. The cam cleat at the base secures the halyard rope at the desired position. Brass snaps with white vinyl covers attach the flag to the halyard without direct metal-to-flag contact.
The internal halyard eliminates external rope slap against the pole shaft during wind events. This reduces audible noise and wear on both the halyard and pole surface. It also prevents unauthorized access to the halyard mechanism without opening the base access point.
Flag changes or inspections are performed at ground level through the internal system. The stationary truck at the pole tip holds the halyard pulley in a fixed position. No climbing or aerial equipment is required for routine flag operations.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This fiberglass flag pole carries a 15-year warranty. The pole is rated for 180 mph wind exposure in an unflagged condition.
Fiberglass is non-conductive and will not support electrical current in the event of incidental contact with power lines. This does not eliminate the need for safe installation practices and clearance from overhead utilities.
