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.
