Flagpole technology

2.1 How do I fix the poles in the ground?

There is a suitable mounting option for every flagpole; you will find it with the respective flagpole under the Accessories category, or under the main category Mounting options. To ensure stability, a foundation plan with detailed installation instructions is supplied when a flagpole is delivered.

2.2 What does AlMgSi1F30 mean?

This is a high-grade aluminium alloy distinguished in particular by its corrosion resistance, low weight and lasting value.

2.3 How heavy is a flag weight?

450 g

2.4 Do flagpoles need a foundation?

Yes, flagpoles should always have a foundation. As a rule, a ground socket is set in concrete and the flagpole is then simply inserted into it. This means the pole can easily be removed from the socket again at any time.

2.5 Can the pole start to rust from the inside due to condensation?

Condensation (if any occurs at all) is harmless, as none of the parts of our poles rust.

2.6 What is the difference between a tapered and a cylindrical flagpole?

A tapered flagpole narrows from bottom to top. For example, the lower diameter is 177 mm and the upper one 76 mm. On a cylindrical flagpole the diameter is the same throughout.

2.7 Do the poles rotate in the ground sockets?

The poles sit in the ground sockets with enough resistance to rotation that wind alone cannot turn them.

2.8 Where can I find foundation plans for a flagpole?

You will find foundation plans for a flagpole in the product overview under "Mountings for flagpoles". Then click on the item you want in order to display the corresponding foundation plan under the horizontal navigation item "Instructions".
