Things to consider on a telescopic flagpole



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.
