Modern flagpoles sport also state of the art accessories. Start with the finial and the truck, these are all forged products made from lightweight, strong and durable metal alloys. This is important because these are added ornaments at the top of the pole and these should never malfunction or perhaps corrode or it will affect the up and down travel of the flag. You cannot expect your maintenance crews to climb the pole or ask the local fire department to use their hydraulic lifts every time your pole needs repair.
Also recent designs of flagpoles use the
rope (halyard) and cable system that are coiled around a pulley that is maintenance free, an assurance that the assembly will never be a problem. Unlike the old system that uses ropes made of Manila hemp and nylon cords that easily deteriorates and snaps when exposed to the weather, the halyard system is a hundred times better. The lower end of the pole is also provided with metal cleats (mostly bronze) to serve as an accessory where the excess length of the rope is wrapped to hold the flag assembly in place.
Not all poles are firmly planted on the ground some are attached to building walls as ornaments to the structure and must therefore have the same durable quality accessories to really last. Since these poles are added only to adorn, they must be provided with wall brackets that are either screwed or bolted to steel frames or concrete walls to keep them in place even during erratic wind conditions.
