Characteristics of flagpoles
Introduction
The term “flagpole” is usually used to describe an erect structure that has been constructed as a permanent marking, which can be seen from a distance. The flagpole carries the national flag or other symbol of importance, and always faces in the same direction. Today the term “flagpole” is used for different structures such as tall towers, windmills and radio masts. In Britain, the term “flagpole” is used to describe a tall flagstaffs which were once widely placed on roofs of buildings as a symbol of patriotism. Find out more detail about flaggstang.
construct
In present days it is quite easy to construct a flagpole that can be seen from great distances because the need for a flag is not so urgent as once was. The speed of transportation has made it possible for people in other countries to see our national flag flying at high altitude and in good condition throughout their tour tours.
Material
Material of construction. Height of the flagpole. Types of flagpole and purpose for which it was constructed. Purpose for which it is used today vs any other purpose. Variety in shape and form (elements such as shaft, and base). Final thoughts on the design or purpose of each type (i..e.: what can be learned from observing the shape, size or function).
considerations
Comment on any special considerations involved with the design(s). Flagpole types include: Flagpole, Radio mast, Windmills etc .Historically, before the age of iron and other metals were used to construct flagpoles. Flagpoles were originally made with wood, but as technology developed they were changed to an iron framework and finally made entirely of metal.
height
The height of a flagpole depends on how high it needs to be in order for people at all different levels of elevation and situations to see it from far away distances. The higher a flagpole reaches into the sky the farther away everyone can see it. Iron is considered the best material for flagpoles because it is durable and flexible.
