Monday, March 17, 2014
Flying a flag with flag cleats is a necessity for some groups, institutions and for some vehicles. This is a practice that started in early civilizations, or some say sooner, because raising a flag gives an important meaning or message. An example of its importance was during war time wherein military groups used flag to relay a message whether to attack, halt or surrender. Mobile phones were not invented to relay messages from far distance during those times but through raising a certain color of a flag can serve the purpose. A royal entourage displays a flag to represent their kingdom so that they can be identified when they travel.
A flag is given importance therefore it must be securely attached to its pole. That is what a flagpole cleat can do. Flag cleats are wood or commonly metal objects that are attached to the flag pole in order for the rope to be tied around it. This can secure the flag from being flown away, especially by strong wind.
Flagpoles can be mounted to any kinds of surfaces. It can be attached to a wall or a structure such as a house or a building. Flag cleats must be built to these flagpoles because not only it can secure the flag from staying attached to its pole but also it can make the whole set neat. It is not simply by tying the rope around the flag cleats. One must be able to learn about correct way of tying a knot.
