Fiberglass flagpoles first became popular along coastal areas because of the extensive use of fiberglass in the boating industry and its resistance to harsh sea-salt deterioration.  This same weather resistance is perfect for all extreme climates: wet, dry, hot and cold.  In addition, fiberglass is superior to any other material in high wind conditions because of its flexibility and "vertical memory".

 Flagpoles of Distinction

Flagpoles have come a long way since the axe-man returned from the forest with a 20 foot cedar on which to hang the family crest. Now the modern fiberglass pole is being transformed and refined into a state of the art product.

 The pulleys that were once standard equipment on all flagpoles have been eliminated entirely. No need to worry about pulleys jamming or breaking. They have been replaced by machined, and highly polished aluminum races that are set into a high density polymer truck assembly. And best of all this entire truck assembly revolves 360 degrees for unobstructed flag flying during the most changeable of breezes. Flags are no longer hung up on the wrong side of the pole. Whether the wind is coming from the east or the west the truck assembly will swing to let the flag fly perfectly with the breeze.

 Above the truck assembly is no ordinary finial. The painted or anodized metal ball has been re-thought, redesigned, and replaced. No longer does the flagpole owner need to worry about the ball fading, flaking or pitting next to the blue sky. Instead, he can look up and always see a highly reflective, dazzling gold finial. The secret is in a high tech process know as electrostatic plating. Gold paint is electrostatically adhered to the inside of a clear high density Plexiglass finial. And because it is on the inside, this finish is not exposed to the rain and other weathering elements. A simple, but high tech and carefully though out solution to an old problem.

 Next, how do you trim the weight of a 20 to 40 foot flagpoles making them more manageable and easier to install, but still maintain high strength. And, how do you cut down on a overly large base diameter that makes the flagpole look ponderous and stout. Now it starts to get a little more complicated. Engineering and chemical magic does exist. First, produce the flagpole by an entirely different method than the usual mandrel and winding process commonly used. The flagpoles are made by using an innovative high strength method. Inside a steel clamshell mold, seven layers of reinforced fiberglass roving, mixed with polyester resin and aligned in a vertical plane for maximum strength are placed on a thick layer of gelcoat. An inflatable bladder is laid the length of the mold. The mold is closed, the bladder inflated and the resulting pole is created by subtle inside pressure and slow curing during an exothermic chemical reaction. Excess gelcoat is gently squeezed out a ridge vent along the length of the mold insuring perfect flagpole symmentry and when dry this excess is machine trimmed to a 1/64" mold mark. The result, a lighter weight, stronger, more slender and graceful flagpole than any other pole on the market today. So strong in fact, the tensile strength is 50,000 p.s.i. and each pole is rated to withstand wind speeds of 120 mph.

These are only the major innovations. The predrilled and stainless steel inserts for the cleat bolts, the optional internal halyard winch, and the optional hinge base are the frosting on the cake.

Local contractors would find the installation quite simple. Just a hole in the ground and concrete is all that is needed. A total of two to four hours labor is all that is required. Poles under 40' are one piece and DO NOT REQUIRE A CRANE.

	As Standard the Atlantic Fiberglass Flagpole has a heavy duty hinged ground attachment with anchor rods to be cast in concrete. Atlantic Fiberglass' ground attachment is considered one of the strongest in the market.  Due to the unique hinge system, it is also very easy to raise up and lower the flagpoles.
	Atlantic Fiberglass delivers a stronger ground attachment for flagpoles.
