ABOUT FLAGPOLES

Flagpoles were traditionally made of wood, but are now mostly made of aluminum or steel. Fiberglass flagpoles are also available. Commercially available flagpoles range from 15 feet to 80 feet in height, with base diameter ranging from 3" to 12". For each model of flagpole manufacturers recommend a size of flag, and recommended flagged and unflagged maximum wind speeds.

The halyards used to raise and lower the flag can either be external, or run internally within the flagpole. Some flagpoles can be fitted with electric spotlights which illuminate the flag. These are designed to turn in the wind with the flag.

The leading flagpole manufacturers, listed below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of bath flagpoles, including online catalogs, colors and materials for flagpoles, and care and maintenance of bath flagpoles.
