A good rule of thumb is the flagpole should be roughly the same height—or slightly taller—than the roofline of your building. For residential use, 20'–25' is common. Commercial and civic installations often use 30'–40' poles or taller for visibility.

Both are excellent choices. Aluminum is strong, corrosion-resistant, and has a classic metallic finish. Fiberglass is lightweight, non-conductive, and resists fading, chipping, and corrosion. It also offers a sleek, painted look and reduces clanging noise from halyards.

Yes, many of our flagpoles are designed for easy DIY installation—especially residential models. We recommend professional installation for taller or commercial-grade poles to ensure safety and stability.

Regularly inspect the halyard and snaps for wear and replace as needed. Clean the pole using mild soap and water or a gentle cleaning solution. Avoid high-pressure washers and abrasives. A ceramic spray coating can also help protect the finish.

Ground-set flagpoles typically require a concrete foundation with a ground sleeve or anchor system. The required depth and diameter depend on the pole’s height and location. We provide foundation recommendations with each product.

Yes—many flagpoles support multiple flags using additional halyards or double pulley systems. Just ensure the pole’s height and construction are rated for the added weight and wind resistance.

Yes. Our commercial and residential flagpoles come with wind ratings based on height, material, and mounting style. Wind load charts are available to help you choose the right pole for your location and weather conditions.
