Flagpole Shaft Descriptions
Mounting Height
The exposed height in feet above grade and is measured to the top of the of the flagpole shaft. *When truck and ornaments are added, overall height can be greater by 1'-2', which can be relevant in areas with height ordinances. Upon request and at no additional charge, Mounting Heights can be shortened to achieve the desired overall height.
25' Mounting Height Exception
Flagpoles offered in 25' mounting heights are manufactured in a single piece with an overall length of 26'-6". Below grade, 2'-6" will be inserted into the ground sleeve. When the truck and finial are attached, the nominal height of the completed flagpole will be 25'. This industry accepted standard allows shipping in a pup trailer at a significant freight savings. Full 27'-6" shafts are available upon request.
Butt Diameter
The diameter in inches at the base of the shaft.
Top Diameter
The diameter in inches at the very top of the shaft.
Wall Thickness
The thickness of the shaft in inches, varying from .125" to .500".
Single & Multi-Piece Shafts
Flagpoles are available in both single and multi-piece designs. Flagpoles 45' and larger will contain multiple piece shafts based on Mounting Height. Sections can be easily field assembled without any loss of structural integrity, leaving only a hairline joint to indicate that the shaft is not a single piece flagpole.
