Our range of Architectural Flagpoles offer prestigious and attractive aluminium poles of excellent quality. The high strength-weight ratio of aluminium ensures an exceptionally practical, durable and maintenance-free product.

This flagpole is produced from a single aluminium tube tapered to a smooth and elegant profile. The one-piece construction gives a seamless finish offering the traditional appearance not found in other non-timber poles. To ensure the highest standards of quality, polished cast aluminium cleats, braided marine-grade polyester halyards, machined aluminium tops and durable anodised and powder-coated finishes are used throughout the range.

rigging options

External Halyard
Flagpoles are rigged with high quality braided polyester rope. In the case of external halyard poles, the top pulley is integral within the machined aluminium top. The cleat is polished cast aluminium. If desired, gold finials can be fitted. Tip: to avoid clinking, wrap halyard around pole once.

Internal Halyard
For reasons of both security and aesthetics, internal halyard systems are available. An access door is fitted with a key to ensure security. The rigging includes an internal cam cleat for fastening the halyard and, externally, a weighted rope harness to maintain tension on the flag.

Rotating Arm
Rotating heads can be fitted to all sizes of Architectural Flagpoles up to 10 metres. The head has a full ball bearing action to give a sensitive wind response and the flag is held in place with plastic tubular snap rings and a weighted harness. The flag is replaced by lowering the pole on its hinged base.

brackets

Wall-Mounted Brackets
Vertical or angled brackets are available for flagpoles of up to 8m. Made from welded steel with hot dipped galvanised finish, the brackets have a backing plate with holes for 3 M15 bolts 250mm apart.

Standard brackets position the pole 150mm from the wall. Other lengths can be supplied to order.

Yard Arms and Gaffs
For the nautical look, tapered Architectural poles from Banner Box are ideal for fitting with our aluminium, powder-coated yard arms and gaffs. Special galvanised brackets can be supplied to mount either or both of these charismatic additions.

Typically installed in marine, military and cadet environments.
