The Spinning Pole

Leave a reply

There have been many updates in the flag industry, but one stands out.

For as long as flags have been flying on house mounted flagpoles, they have gotten wrapped around the pole.  This is called being “furled.”  Many items try to negate this unsightely display of the American flag: the pole sleeve flag, the unwrapper tube and the neverfurl. They all accomplished the job of keeping the flag unfurled, but none has succeded as easily as the spinning pole has. It’s simple.  Attach the flag and let it fly free.  The spinning pole has made the un-wrapper tube and the never-furl obsolete.

What makes it so simple?  The pole is actually two pieces of aluminum tube that screw together.

One piece has ball bearings in it allowing the top tube to spin.  This spinning keeps the flag from wrapping.  Simple. The  Spinning pole video shows how a flag just spins free. (I don’t know how to rotate the video)

What Size Residential Flagpole

What size flagpole should I install at my home?

Fiberglass flagpole

It depends, most residential flagpoles are between 20′ and 30′ and made of either aluminum or fiberglass.  The height of the home and the location helps in determining the right size.   When the flagpole will be located near the home be sure the flag won’t fly too far above the roof, otherwise the flagpole isn’t really seen as a part of the landscape.  If you took a picture of your home from the driveway entrance, the complete pole and flag should be seen in the photograph.  When a flagpole is installed in it’s own area such as a field or garden, any height goes.  The decision is usually determined by your pocketbook and how large of a statement you’d like to make.  A 40′ white fiberglass flagpole with a 10’x15′ American flag, surrounded by colorful flowers makes a beautiful display and says a lot.

Information about the American Flag

 Nylon is the flag fabric of choice for outdoor American flags. If you’ve seen an American flag flying around your neighborhood it’s most likely a nylon American flag. Nylon is lightweight to fly in the slightest winds and treated with Solar-Max™ for bright, long lasting color. We use a top quality 200 denier nylon. Our nylon American flags feature full filled embroidered stars and beautifully sewn stripes to display a strong sense of American pride.

Woven Polyester American Flag Fabric – Rugged strength for even the strongest winds! This 100% spun polyester American flag has a 2×2 construction that is intended for use in extreme weather conditions. Simply put, our heavy duty woven polyester American flags are recommended in high wind areas. This tough fabric will withstand rougher weather than the average flag, however it is heavier so it takes more wind to fly. Our polyester American flags feature full filled embroidered stars and beautifully sewn stripes to display a strong sense of pride, as does our nylon American flag.

Cotton American Flag Fabric – For a more “classic look” try our cotton American flag. Though not as fade resistant as the others, this flag has an appeal of it’s own. Our cotton American flags also, feature full filled embroidered stars and beautifully sewn stripes to display a strong sense of American pride.

All of our American flags meet or exceed government specifications and are made in the United States of America.
