Telescoping Flagpoles: What is to be looked into it?

Telescoping Flagpoles have been considered to be those poles which are created from various diameter aluminum tubes, which may slip inside one another. Every section has been raised as well as locked into its place, beginning with the topmost section (section to hold the flat). There are not present any rope in the Telescoping Flagpoles for tangling and clanging or wearing against the pole especially during windy conditions. The general heights of such flagpoles vary between 6 to 35 feet. Because of its tapered effect, these flagpoles are known to maintain strength – height ratios. However, still they are as study when compared to the single piece types available in the market.

Several things are to be considered when buying such flagpoles lie spring assist, locking systems, tubing size and Commercial Lighting.

The strongest one is said to have the biggest diameters related to the height. Comparing flagpoles of similar heights, the biggest diameter tubing is to be searched for in every section. Pole thickness or wall thickness does have a relation to strength, however, not like that of the pole diameter.

The locking systems might vary among the different manufacturers, since many manufacturers do have patent received on the processes. Hence, it is necessary to search for a system which is self locking and self indexing. Locking system is to be positive one and not expansion or friction based. For minimizing faulty lock risk, it is essential to seek a locking system having zero to few moving parts.


Also, the flagpole’s Commercial Lighting needs to be considered.

Understanding the Residential Flagpoles type that serves the specific requirements



Residential Flagpoles are not necessarily being the standard to be found outside each and every residence. However, they can prove to be useful if the person is eager to declaring his undying love for his country or simply fly a flag which tends to highlights his beliefs. Irrespective of the purpose it is being used for Flagpole Eagles are said to be categorized into three different categories, which are telescopic, commercial and residential. 

It is not necessary that the Residential Flagpoles are to be smaller in size. However, they may not be in a position to withstand the high wind speeds similar to that of the commercial variety. It could span between 6 and 35 feet.  The much taller the pole, strong winds may find easy to break it. The commercial type of flagpoles generally is known to come with a single section, so as to make them much sturdier. Many have been designed to withstand strong winds. The telescopic poles are quite adjustable and can be lowered or raised without any hassle. This particular feature does come with a premium, but are found to be weak relatively under wind gusts.

The pole’s height depends upon what the person deems to be high enough. An essential aspect is the sections having more sections, which means weaker points. The other essential point to consider is halyard system that allows the flag to get lowered and raised. The external type of halyard system has a rig which is located just outside the Flagpole Eagle, while the internal system has been inbuilt.
