Flag Pole Parts: External Halyard Flagpoles

This is the most common type of flagpole. The halyard (or rope), on the outside of the pole, extends to the top of the pole through an assembly known as a truck and back down the pole where it is secured to a cleat. If security is an issue, a cleat cover box can be used to lock the halyard to the cleat and help prevent theft of the flag. The flag can be easily raised or lowered by untying the halyard from the cleat and pulling on the halyard in either direction. External halyard flag pole parts are available in aluminum, fiberglass and steel. Remember, to get the most life out of your flags keep your flag pole parts up to date.

Flag Pole Parts: Internal Halyard Flagpoles

Internal halyard flagpoles keep the cable (or rope) concealed on the inside of the pole. The cable is accessible by unlocking an access door near the base of the pole. The flag is raised and lowered through a cam action (self-locking) cleat or by inserting a crank handle to turn a gear-less winch system. The halyard goes through the truck and is then secured to the outside of the flagpole with a retainer ring and counter weight. The retainer ring and counter weight help keep the bottom of the flag taught and close to the flagpole. Internal halyard (IH) flag poles parts are available in aluminum, fiberglass and steel. Remember, to get the most life out of your flags keep your flag pole parts up to date.

Flag Pole Parts: Wall Mount Flagpoles

Wall Mount flagpoles attach to a surface (typically a building). Outrigger Wall Mount Flagpoles extend out at an angle, while Vertical Wall Mount Flagpoles extend vertically or parallel to the surface. The halyard (or rope), on the outside of the pole, extends to the top of the pole through an assembly known as a truck and back down the pole where it is secured to a cleat. If security is an issue, a wall mount cleat cover box can be used to lock the halyard to the cleat and help prevent theft of the flag. The flag can be easily raised or lowered by untying the halyard from the cleat and pulling on the halyard in either direction. Flag pole parts are available in aluminum and fiberglass. Remember, to get the most life out of your flags keep your flag pole parts up to date.

*Note: While not a standard accessory for an Outrigger Wall Mount Flagpole, a non-tangle rod is recommended to keep the flag from furling or wrapping around the pole.

Flag Pole Parts: Nautical Flagpoles

Nautical Flagpoles are designed to fly multiple flags including signal flags. They keep the halyard on the outside of pole and have a yardarm (a gaff is an optional accessory). Each flag can be easily raised or lowered by untying the halyard from the cleat and pulling on the halyard in either direction. There is a pulley on each end of the yardarm allowing a second and third halyard to extend to the ends of the yardarm and back down to a second and third cleat near the base of the pole. A gaff assembly is also available. Nautical Flagpoles with a gaff have a fourth halyard. This halyard extends up through a truck assembly at the end of the gaff. Nautical flag pole parts are available in aluminum or fiberglass. Remember, to get the most life out of your flags keep your flag pole parts up to date.

A few things to consider regarding your flag display...

1.
Is your flagpole easily seen?
2.
Are your flags wearing out too quickly? Are you replacing more than two flags per flagpole per year?
3.
Does anything interfere with your flags flying freely?
4.
Are your flagpoles safe? Does your flagpole lean, sway, need painted or moved? Are there flagpole parts that need replaced?
