35-Foot Aluminum Flagpole with Internal Halyard
Commercial Aluminum
FPA035IH
The 35-foot aluminum is the pole of choice when visibility from a highway, arterial road, or large parking lot is the primary requirement. At this height, a flag is visible from several hundred metres. It is the standard specification for large-format retail, auto dealership groups, industrial parks, and arenas.

Recommended flag
The 35-foot aluminum is the pole of choice when visibility from a highway, arterial road, or large parking lot is the primary requirement. At this height, a flag is visible from several hundred metres. It is the standard specification for large-format retail, auto dealership groups, industrial parks, and arenas.
The internal halyard system is the same locking cam cleat mechanism found on the shorter poles — rope inside the shaft, accessible only through the locking door. At 35 feet the halyard is 5/16 inch nylon to handle the increased load of a larger flag at this height.
The 35-foot uses a fixed shoe base rather than the tilt base found on the 25 and 30-foot poles. This is the appropriate base type at this height — the fixed base provides additional rigidity and a straightforward installation. Servicing the top of the pole at 35 feet requires a ladder or lift.
Ideal for:
Large retail sites, highway-facing commercial properties, auto dealership groups, industrial campuses, large arenas, and any site where a 30-foot pole would be lost in the surroundings.
Foundation Requirements
Foundation Diameter:
36 inches
Foundation Depth:
50 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.
