FAQ
What is an external halyard flagpole?
An external halyard flagpole uses a rope on the outside of the pole to raise and lower the flag. The rope runs through a truck at the top of the pole and is tied off at a cleat near the base. External halyard systems are the most common style for residential and commercial installations and are easy to operate and maintain.
What does "hurricane-rated" mean for a flagpole?
A hurricane-rated flagpole is engineered and tested to withstand extreme wind speeds associated with hurricane conditions. The Ark achieves this through its heavy-duty aluminum construction, thick wall options, dual sealed bearing assemblies, and reinforced ground sleeve system - giving it the structural integrity to remain standing when severe weather strikes.
What height flagpole do I need?
A general rule of thumb is that your flagpole height should be proportional to the height of the building or the size of the property. For a single-story home, a 20-25 foot pole is typical. For a two-story home or small business, 30-35 feet is common. Commercial buildings, schools, and government facilities often use 40-60 foot poles, while large stadiums and complexes may require a 70 foot pole. A good installer can help you determine the right height for your specific site.
Does this flagpole require professional installation?
Professional installation is strongly recommended for The Ark series, especially for taller and larger butt-diameter models. Proper in-ground installation requires setting the ground sleeve in concrete to the correct depth for the pole height and site conditions. Improper installation can compromise the wind rating and structural integrity of the pole. Contact us about our professional installation services.
How will this flagpole ship?
Due to the length and weight of The Ark flagpole, it ships via freight carrier on a pallet. You will be contacted to schedule a delivery appointment. Please ensure you have adequate space and assistance available to receive and move the pole upon delivery.
What is the difference between the butt diameter options?
The butt diameter refers to the width of the pole at its base. Larger butt diameters (such as 10" and 12") provide greater structural strength and wind resistance, making them appropriate for taller poles or sites with higher wind exposure. Smaller diameters like 6" and 7" are suited for shorter poles in standard wind environments. The wall thickness (e.g., 0.188" vs. 0.250" vs. 0.375") also affects strength - thicker walls offer greater rigidity and durability.
