More information about the different types of flagpoles

Residential

Telescoping Flagpole

This flagpole will allow a person to avoid knots and tangles when they are displaying the flag. This will set this up to the height that they want and everything will click into place. This makes it easy to install and thing else has to be done. The flag can also be rotated if needed. They can also be sent to lean at different angles.

Installation

Aluminum finishes are popular but there is always the risk of chipping and rust. The anodized finish means that the flagpole will not have paint so chipping will not be an issue. There are different installation processes that go with the different types of flagpoles. Some of these methods can be done at home while others may need the assistance of a professional.

Each flagpole will allow a person to display their flag and show their pride.
