What Are External Halyard Flagpoles? 

A halyard is a type of rope used for raising and lowering a flag on a flagpole. The external halyard system features a fitted rope along the outside of the pole. A truck at the top and a cleat at the bottom keep the rope attached to the pole. 

Benefits of External Flagpoles With Cleats

An external in-ground flagpole provides many advantages, including:

• Style: The design provides the appearance of a traditional flagpole.
• Accessibility: The external halyard offers easy accessibility and doesn't require a key.
• Easy operations: The system allows you to raise and lower the flag with simple operations.
• Low maintenance
• Affordable prices: The external flagpole comes with less upfront costs and fewer replacement and service expenses compared to alternative options.

External Aluminum Flagpoles

Aluminum is a popular material for flagpole construction. It's durable and holds up well in many weather conditions, including rain, wind, hail, and snow. We offer Satin Brush and Anodized finishes, which looks visually pleasing with all building exteriors.

External Fiberglass Flagpoles

Fiberglass offers a lightweight design with high resistance to wind. This material is non-conductive, which is beneficial in stormy weather conditions. We offer White, Black, Bronze, and custom color finishes, which provides a stylish and modern appearance.

Which Type of Pole Should You Choose?

You should carefully consider factors including weather, pole height, and accessibility needs when choosing between aluminum and fiberglass flagpoles.
