subject: The Most Popular Residential Pole In The Us! [print this page] Different types of residential flagpoles are usually made available by flag and flagpole suppliers throughout the United States. The external rope residential flagpole produced from aluminum is the most basic or standard flagpole type and has been in existence for many years. This type of pole has proven to be most popular flagpole around these days!
Every customer has to make a choice as to what length of flagpole they wish to have installed in their front yard or on their patch of grass next to their small business. 10 to 25 feet flagpoles are residential flagpoles. Poles reaching 30+ feet will generally feel and be considered more commercial. Interestingly, 10 feet to 20 feet flagpoles for residents are also made available in sections. These poles are commonly known as sectional flag poles.
Every so often you might find a 30 ft flag pole installed in someone's front yard. However, these types of flagpole lengths will most likely be found around smaller businesses, churches and schools. Flag poles with lengths up to 40 ft, are usually installed by those running small to medium size businesses as well as model homes built by real estate professionals and seeking a little more acknowledgment.
Interestingly, the halyard or flagpole rope is what is used on the external halyard flag pole to move the flag up and down in height. This flagpole type has a cleat installed which allows for the halyard to tie the rope around. You will find that this cleat is usually placed at 5' above the level of the ground.
For the sake of added security, in other words; to prevent vandals from stealing your flag and flagpole parts, or replacing it with Uncle Bob's "unmentionables," lock boxes and steel core halyards are also available to counter "pranksters." Steel core halyards (obviously) make it a challenge to cut the flagpole rope, but are more expensive in comparison to the regular flagpole halyard.
The internal rope flagpole is an alternative to these security measures mentioned in the above paragraphs. Where external rope residential flagpoles have the halyard installed on the outside of the pole, internal rope flag poles have the halyard and parts installed on the inside of the residential flagpole shaft.
