Unless you are experts like us, or have purchased a flagpole before, chances are you may not know what flagpole would be best for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

For what is in essence a long pole that sits in the ground, there are as you have probably found out lots of things to consider. Hopefully I can help you navigate some of this so you can choose the best option.<\/span><\/p>\n

First and foremost all the different poles on the market will in all likelihood work well in most circumstances, and are manufactured to last. What I want to try and help you with here is to make sure you are getting something fit for purpose and value for money from the HFC range.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get cracking then and the initial thing is to consider is where you are siting the flag and its purpose, I.E is it for commercial or domestic purpose, and is it to be sited in a sheltered spot, or somewhere that receives normal conditions, or under extreme conditions like coastal locations.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you require a domestic flagpole that is located in your garden or similar and conditions are as expected throughout the year, then our Novelty or Aluminium flagpole range will probably suit. (There is no reason why you can\u2019t have a fibreglass pole, as this will work perfectly well too, but it isn\u2019t necessary)<\/span><\/p>\n

A novelty pole is a one piece pole, 50mm diameter with 2.5mm wall thickness. Our aluminium range is 60mm diameter with 5mm wall thickness and over 5m length comes in two pieces with a<\/span> bonded aluminium joint.<\/span><\/p>\n

Builders<\/span> Aluminium flagpoles are also perfect for semi-permanent installations like new build sites. I.E they only need to be up for one or two years, or for as long as the build takes, and then are taken down.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For commercial premises or windier conditions we would recommend our standard fibreglass poles. The standard fibreglass option offers excellent performance and durability. Constructed from a mixture of glassfibre matt and polyester resin these poles are highly resistant, maintenance free and mode with a thicker conical shaped wall that is tapered from bottom to top for added strength. Built to withstand wind speeds of up to 140 mph.<\/span><\/p>\n

For someone that needs added strength in stormy conditions on the coast, or just want to have that added extra security we can also offer Heavy Duty Architectural aluminium flagpoles. These are the most expensive option and especially useful if you want to reach heights above 16m.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now you have been through those options and decided which types might be best for you, now your thoughts will turn to, what ground fixing to have, whether to have internal or external halyard and what top or finial to choose.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take these one at a time:<\/span><\/p>\n
