Halyard systems

Generally there are two different types of halyard system.

The external halyard type, although the most popular system, offers no security against having your flag stolen as anybody can walk up to the flagpole and lower the flag.

The internal halyard type offers security as the rope is inside the flagpole and you either need a key to access the halyard door built into the side of the flagpole or a winch handle to fit the winding mechanism.

Fibreglass flagpoles are mostly available with a choice of all three halyard types.

  • External halyard – most popular but least secure.
  • Internal halyard with jam cleat – secure access via door with a lock and key
  • Internal halyard with winch – secure access and easy raising and lowering of flag with a handle.

Mounting types

Depending on the location, a flagpole can be mounted in different ways. These following are typical arrangements:

  • Ground mounted using a hinged base plate and ground anchors. The optimum way to provide a safe and secure ground mounting in a concrete foundation. The galvanised steel base plate hinges allowing the flagpole to be lowered to the ground for cleaning and maintenance.
  • Ground mounted using a ground sleeve. A quick and cost effective way of installing budget aluminium flagpoles at temporary locations.
  • Wall mounted on wall brackets (horizontal, vertical or angled). Standard bracket sets and stay arms allowing the flagpole to be fixed to the side of a building.
  • We offer bespoke solutions for special projects – tabernacle mounting, special brackets and stays – solutions to suit individual requirements.
