Halyard Configurations For Flag Poles
A good number of flag poles are produced from mainly aluminum but also steel in our day. Fiberglass flagpoles are an interesting economical alternative to those seeking white “colored” flag poles, even though this pole type also comes in other different colors. Steel flagpoles are also known as “landmark” or “jumbo” steel flag poles. The sleek and tapered look truly adds refinement to these poles that can reach heights up to 400 feet. Like any other flagpole, steel poles come with a gold anodized ball ornament, flash collar and a United States flag.
Each flagpole type functions differently. Two common halyard systems made available for flagpoles are (1) the external halyard system and (2) the internal halyard system. It was not till recent that the internal halyard system was revolutionized with the addition of “Colonial V-Cleat.” Internal halyard systems are also offered with cam cleat design or winch with a (removable) crank handle.
The external halyard seems to be the most affordable system in comparison to other systems in the “flagpole world.” Added security through lock boxes and steel core ropes or halyards is a solution to those living in more the more challenging parts of town. The internal halyard is the ultimate in flagpole security however. For example, the Colonial V-Cleat is installed on the inside of the shaft and is accessible through a locking access door. The halyard goes through the inside of the pole when lowering or raising the flag.
The (gearless) winch with removable crank handle, which also is installed inside the flag pole shaft, provides rapid raising and lowering of a flag with minimal effort. It is accessible through a keyed entry cast aluminum door. Plus, it is also considered maintenance-free and adaptable to already existing poles.
Flagpoles come with a support system or mounting set. The ground set uses a galvanized steel foundation sleeve with lightning spike. However, some residential flag poles mount in a PVC foundation sleeve. A shoe base is recommended for poles that will be installed on a concrete surface.
