Flags and flagpoles are inseparable. How
can one get a flag without flagpole? You will always need a flagpole for your
big flags. Many companies and residential properties use flagpole on top of
building. These big flags are spectacular and fascinating. The flagpole
is made up of different parts. We need to understand it before ordering the
flag. No matter how big the building is you need to know how the flag and
flagpole works.
Every flagpole has a specific diameter at
the base of it. It is known as butt diameter of the flagpole. The diameter of the
flagpole add the strength to the flagpole and also contribute to the wind
rating. Another important part of the flagpole is cleat. The Cleat is always attached
to the flagpole. It is present nearly 5’ above the grade. The halyard is
wrapped nicely around this cleat. It secures the halyard and it is the reason
behind flags moving up or down. A professional service provider is an expert in
flagpole climbing. He/she can repair or replace the cleat or halyard.
Another important thing to know is flagpole is manufactured with a specific
amount of weight. It is present in the box near the base of the flagpole.
The box near the end of the flagpole is
known as a counterbalance of the flagpole. This type of special attachment
allows the pole to be strong. Flagpole contains single or double revolving
truck around it. The flagpole on the top of building will also have this
truck assembly at the top of the flagpole. It contains a pulley and threaded
opening. It also includes the bearings. The bearings help to turn the flag with
the wind. A single revolving truck is made up of only one pulley while double
have two.
It is very important to take
good care of your flag and flagpole. You can appoint a professional flagpole
climber for climbing. It is important to know that flagpole climbing
is a serious task and one need to get trained professional to do the service.
