The Flag Company Inc And Our Time Flagpoles

By Bill Farrow


A flagpole is the foundation of a banner, it holds the banner upright for spectators to see. Flagpoles have experienced various changes since individuals began flying banners. Preceding the modern unrest, flagpoles were made only from wood. In spite of the fact that some today still practice this specialty, most flagpole producers today use more sturdy materials.

Flagpoles date far back when a banner should be appended to a post or something to that effect for it to fly openly. What we do know is that flagpoles were produced using wood. A carpenter would discover a tree that was straight and prune the appendages and suckers from it to create a shaft.

The pole was then inserted into the ground and a flag tied to the top. Over the years, the wood flagpole was improved by shaping and sanding the pole until it was straight and had a smooth finish. Once that process was complete, animal fat was applied to the entire pole over the course of several days. While the portion of these poles that was above ground would last for 50 years or more, the portion that was buried in the ground would rot.

Close to the turn of the twentieth century, steel banner shafts turned out to be more well known, in spite of the fact that they were frequently essentially the reused materials that had filled different needs. Ships poles were frequently repurposed as banner shafts.

Steel segment shafts used to house trolley lines were used to make banner posts and in the long run, sectional steel banner shafts were fabricated with the end goal of flying banners. Wooden shafts got to be out of date. In the later 1920s.

Manufacturing advances in extruding aluminum poles led eventually to the dominance of aluminum and aluminum alloys as the primary materials for creating flag poles today. Aluminum is more versatile as a manufacturing material, and as production processes have improved, it has become far cheaper than steel. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flags and flagpole designs offered a special edition of flagpoles to memorize the history of flagpole industry for the future.
