Flagpoles are metal piping with thick enough walls (generally 1/4 inch thick or more) designed to withstand the wind load a flag exerts on the pole during high-wind weather conditions. Galvanized pipe is well-suited to such an application due to its resistance to the formation of rust, which could weaken the metal. Due to this resistance to rust, such pipe can be used as a permanent mast for flying a flag, where untreated steel pipe must be removed periodically and replaced with new pipe to replace a rusty, corroded section.
Flagpoles can be anywhere from a few feet to 100 feet in length. The actual pole is divided into sections for assembly, depending on the height. Flag poles between 30 and 35 feet can come in two sections whereas flag poles beyond 40 feet are made from three to five sections.This adds sturdiness and flexibility to a pole to keep it from collapsing during high winds. Flagpoles can be made of aluminum, steel, Plexiglass or fiberglass.
Select a suitable drill bit for the size of bolts which came with the pulley assemblies and drill the top and bottom holes in the pipe. Drill through one side of the pipe wall and continue drilling until the bit exits through the outside of the other wall of the pipe.
Bolt the pulleys onto the pipe with an appropriate wrench set, placing a lock washer and nut on each. Tighten until hand-tight, then tighten further until the nuts cannot be turned anymore. Use caution so the bolts aren't stripped while tightening.
To raise or lower a flag, a person would attach the flag to the hooks and simply pull the rope until the flag reached the desired height. He would then tie the excess rope onto the pole's cleats. A person could raise the flag and be proud of his or her country.
There is a barrage of cheap and Flagpoles being imported and sold, that do not comply with the statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flagpoles are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flagpoles made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flags and flagpoles designs offered a special edition of flagpoles to comfort your environment with the genius American brand flagpoles that stay for centuries to memorize the history of flagpole production for the future.
