30-Foot Aluminum Flagpole with Internal Halyard
Commercial Aluminum
FPA030IH
At 30 feet, your flag is visible from a moving vehicle. It clears rooflines, trees, and signage without requiring the heavier foundation work of a 35 or 40-foot installation. It is the height most commonly specified by municipalities, car dealerships, corporate campuses, and arenas — and for good reason.

Recommended flag
At 30 feet, your flag is visible from a moving vehicle. It clears rooflines, trees, and signage without requiring the heavier foundation work of a 35 or 40-foot installation. It is the height most commonly specified by municipalities, car dealerships, corporate campuses, and arenas — and for good reason.
The internal halyard is the feature that separates this pole from cheaper alternatives. The rope runs entirely inside the shaft, accessible only through a locking aluminum door at the base. No rope slapping against the pole at 2am. No one cutting your halyard. No flags going missing from your lot overnight.
The tilt base means that when you need to service the pole — change a halyard, swap a finial, or inspect the truck — one person can do it. Remove two nuts, walk the pole down to horizontal, do the work, walk it back up. No crane rental, no bucket truck, no waiting on a service call.
Ideal for:
Municipalities, car dealerships, corporate campuses, arenas, hotels, schools, and any commercial site where the flag needs to be seen from the road.
Foundation Requirements
Foundation Diameter:
26 inches
Foundation Depth:
44 inches minimum below grade
Concrete Spec:
Anchor Bolts:
3000 PSI minimum
4 x 1 inch dia. x 36 inch galvanized steel, ASTM F1554 GR55
The minimum depth assumes compacted soil. The Building Code typically requires footings below the frost line — generally a minimum of 4 feet (48") below finished grade. Consult your local municipality if in doubt. The anchor cage shipped with the pole is designed for a 4'–6' minimum depth.
Installation Overview
Engineering drawings and full installation instructions ship with the pole. This is a summary for planning purposes.
01
Dig and Pour
Auger or excavate a 26" diameter hole to 44" minimum depth. Bed in gravel, set anchor cage, pour 3,000 PSI concrete. Allow 7 days full cure (or 1 day with quick-set).
03
Walk the pole up
Assemble pole horizontal. Attach hinge pin to base. Two or three people walk the pole up to vertical from the hinge side. Secure the two non-hinge bolts.
02
Level the base
Once cured, thread leveling nuts onto anchor bolts. Place the hinge base plate over the cage, shim level in both directions, and secure with washers and large nuts.
04
Rig and Install
Verify halyard through cam cleat, attach counterweight and snaps, thread the ball finial, install flash collar. Apply silicone bead at collar top. Raise your flag.
