A Flagpole And The Flag Company Inc

By John James


People have been proudly displaying flags for thousands of years. Persians displayed their flag proudly all the way back in 550 B.C. A flagpole is a typical way that most people display their flags . Flagpoles can be costly. With some flagpole sets costing several hundred dollars, knowing how to make your own flagpole can save you quite a bit of money. Measure the height of your bucket. Measure the same height from the bottom of your pipe and make a mark on the pipe. Wrap your pipe up to your mark with plastic wrap. Secure the plastic wrap with tape. Coat all of the plastic wrap with Vaseline or another petroleum jelly. You must ensure that all of the plastic is covered with the petroleum jelly so the flagpole will come out of the concrete easily.

Flagpoles can be anywhere from a few feet to 100 feet in length. The actual pole is divided into sections for assembly, depending on the height. Flag poles between 30 and 35 feet can come in two sections whereas flag poles beyond 40 feet are made from three to five sections.This adds sturdiness and flexibility to a pole to keep it from collapsing during high winds. Flagpoles can be made of aluminum, steel, Plexiglass or fiberglass.

Hold the pipe steady while someone pours more concrete into the bucket (or vice-versa). Do not fill the bucket all the way up, as it will be extremely heavy. The concrete should dry quickly if you made sure to get quick drying concrete. Make sure to hold the PVC pipe in place until the concrete is hard enough to hold the PVC pipe. If you have something you could prop the pipe up against that will ensure it stays in place, go for it.

Flag poles with external raising assemblies work by using a system of halyards, ropes, and pulleys. The halyard, made of nylon or polyester, is rigged onto the pulleys, also known as the halyard truck assembly. The halyard also has two hooks affixed to it, one for each of the flag's grommets. The pole also has fixtures known as cleats to store excess rope on. For internal assemblies, the trucks are housed inside the pole. Instead of a halyard, the pole uses a cable assembly with counterweights and retainer rings on it.

Thread rope through the pulleys and tie a knot in the rope just above the lower pulley. Connect a flag clip to the rope at this knot, then measure the correct distance to the position of the other flag clip hole on the flag and install another into position on the rope (measure the distance of the holes in the flag itself for accurate positioning of the clips for your particular flag). Dig a square hole where the mast is to be set, 4 feet deep and 2 feet wide. Set 4 feet of the 5-foot end into the hole and have a partner assist by holding the pipe in place, as straight as possible.

There is a barrage of cheap and Flagpoles being imported and sold, that do not comply with the statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flagpoles are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flagpoles made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flags and flagpoles designs offered a special edition of flagpoles to comfort your environment with the genius American brand flagpoles that stay for centuries to memorize the history of flagpole production for the future.
