Information on Commercial Flagpoles
Our Commercial flagpoles are made from aluminum conical tapered tubing and have external halyards. A halyard is the rope that is used to raise and lower the flag. When combined with your choice of flagpole color, these poles will create a traditional focal point for your flag that you can be proud of.
Why Buy Aluminum Flagpoles
Aluminum is one of the most abundant metals on the earth. It weighs less than steel and is very durable. Aluminum does not rust, discolor or pit and will not bend or become deformed from severe weather conditions. This makes aluminum perfect for use in flagpoles that must withstand year round weather. As an added benefit, aluminum flagpoles continue to look like new for years with little or no maintenance.
Sizes and Construction
Commercial aluminum poles are generally 35 to 80 feet tall and are made of 6063-T6 aluminum alloy that has a directional sanded satin ground finish. Each flagpole is rated for the maximum wind speed that it can withstand without being damaged and the maximum size of the flag that it can safely carry. Hurricane series flagpoles are available for those whose businesses are located in high wind locations. These poles have thicker walls and/or a thicker butt diameter than other aluminum flagpoles.

Optional Items
Custom options that are available for an additional charge include shoe base and tilting shoe base mounting. The shoe base foundation includes a cast aluminum shoe base, four galvanized steel anchor bolts and hex nuts, washers and lock washers.
Shoe base foundations are the bottom portion of the flagpole that is installed on concrete or other hard surfaces and joined to the flagpole shaft. The tilting shoe base foundation makes it easy to lower the flagpole for maintenance. Note that the tilting shoe base is only available on flagpoles that are less than 30 feet tall due to safety factors.
