Showcase Your Flag With a Telescoping Fiberglass Pole

If you'd like to showcase your pride for many to see, you can get a telescoping fiberglass pole. Fiberglass is known as a sturdy material that can withstand scratches, making it an ideal choice for something to be used outdoors. There are several things to consider when purchasing a new or used flagpole on eBay.

How do you determine the right height for your space?

When flying a flag, you would ideally want it be located at a height at which you can see it from various angles. This means that the height of your pole may vary depending on your space. If there are large trees or other structures around the pole, you may want it to be at least a few feet higher than the tallest of those. Many people in residential areas fly their flags at around 20 feet. Those in taller buildings sometimes opt for 25-foot flagpoles.

How does a flag get attached to a pole?

Flags are attached to fiberglass poles through the use of a halyard. This halyard, or rope, can be located internally or externally. An external halyard may be easier to operate since everything will remain in sight, and they may be more affordable since the design is fairly straightforward. On the other hand, a flagpole with an internal halyard will have a neater, more finished appearance. The halyard can be accessed through a small door located near the ground. If you're in a busy area, you may want to get an access door that can be locked.

What are other features that distinguish flagpoles from one another?

When shopping for fiberglass flagpoles, you'll find that they all have the same basic design. They may differ by:

  • Ornamentation:At the top of a flagpole, you'll usually find a ball ornament, called a finial. That ball can be gold, silver, or another color. Instead of a ball, the ornament could be an eagle's head or another regal image.
  • Finish:Many poles are a shade of silver. Some may be coated with powder paint in black, green, bronze, or blue, for instance.
  • Telescoping system:The benefit of using a telescoping pole is that it can be stored more easily than a fixed pole. When setting up a flagpole that comes in different sections, you may have to twist sections together to lock them into place. Some telescoping items come with a push-button lock that can automatically set itself up once the poles are in position. A simple push of a button can unlock them.
