There
are different varieties of flagpoles available in the market and one such variety
that is in demand remains of the telescoping flagpoles. These are the ones that have their sections locked into each
other after being raised to hold the flag in place. This type of pole does not
consist of ropes to clang, wear or tangle against the pole in speedy winds. They
are usually produced at the height that ranges from about six feet to around
thirty five feet.
Even
though they are a great option, but are not quite sturdy as compared to its
other commercial brothers. When you are looking to purchase this type of
flagpole, you must consider three essential things and they are spring assist,
locking systems and tubing size. When it comes to heavy duty US flag it has to be strong and for this reason you can
get hold of the strongest telescopic version.
The
strength can be determined on the basis of larger diameter to height. The
thickness of the pole and the wall thickness is also something that affects the
strength of your flagpole. Different manufacturers will avail you with distinct
locking systems. This is because a majority of big manufacturing companies has
copyrights over their process of locking system.
You
must look for self-locking and self-indexing. This will provide you with great
benefits and less effort while raising each section of the flagpole. The
locking system should not be expanded or friction based but must have a
positive locking system. Look for the system that have zero to few moving parts
to avoid risk of a faulty or broken lock.
