Factors To Identify During The Purchase Of Colossal Flagpoles

By Diane Fox


Individuals who have a desire to put up the largest and tallest metal flagpoles are encouraged to use colossal flagpoles. This is majorly because these kind of poles meet the architectural standards of the Institutes in America. The standards include the safety measures that need to be in place to handle the wind currents and the load present such as the flag.

The poles are made of a metal type known as the A-36 carbon steel which has a high yield point that magnifies its strength. This metal is suitable in construction of bridges and buildings, thus making it appropriate for the rods too. A seamless steel concentric is used to join the sections of metal resulting to a well-uniformed outlook.

The next process that follows the joining of sections is sandblasting which is done alongside with coating using epoxy primer chemical. The poles are then further coated using aliphatic urethane which is a gloss enamel. This last process results in a perfect gloss effect and color retention. The products are then left to dry before being shipped to the locations that have been mentioned in the clients orders.

A wide range of pole sizes are available for purchase and the range right from one hundred feet all the way up to four hundred feet. The diameter of the bottom and top of the rod is determined by the height where the size increases with increase in height. The larger the size of measurements, the bigger the size of flag that can be used.

One must consider the highest speed of wind, within the area where the flagpole is to be set. Those with heights of up to one hundred and fifty feet, can handle a speed of one hundred and thirty miles per hour. The poles with heights above that, need to be designed specifically to handle the speed in the location and furthermore the type of location whether it is a coastal region, city or countryside.

A client needs to consider the size of his or her flag before ordering for a specific height of a rod from the stores. Poles that range between hundred and two hundred and twenty feet can fully handle a thirty by fifty flag size. On the other hand, a two hundred or three hundred rod can handle a sixty by one hundred flag size. The right kind of flag size helps prevent destruction of flagpole, damage to the flag or injury to individuals.

Some of manufacturing companies have an advanced feature of lighting up the flag at night. Several lighting solutions including solar lighting are available to handle the different sizes of poles. These options have an advantage of being environmental friendly to any site while at the same time being pocket friendly.

When considering a store from where to purchase a pole, one has to look at some of these benefits that should come along with the same. These include a fair pricing and a guarantee of the products which is mostly in form of a warranty. More so, the store should be able to offer a free shipping along with services from the experts whenever necessary.
