Why the External Revolving Series?

An external halyard flagpole with a revolving truck that turns with the wind, built for commercial properties that need a pole to last decades, not years.

Built in Acworth, GA

Every External Revolving pole is built at our facility in Acworth, GA, from 6063-T6 extruded aluminum (ASTM B221), with wind ratings per ANSI/NAAMM FP 1001-07. The revolving truck turns on sealed stainless steel ball bearings so the flag follows the wind, which helps prevent flag wrap.

Limited Lifetime Shaft Warranty

Every pole ships with a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the aluminum shaft. Aluminum won't rust, rot or need painting, and anodized finishes (Clear, Dark Bronze and Black) are available if you want a color other than satin.

BABA & BAA Compliant

Meets Build America, Buy America and Buy American Act requirements for federally funded projects, government facilities and military installations.

Simple to Maintain

The rope halyard runs on the outside of the pole and ties off to a cast aluminum cleat at the base, so flag changes and rope replacement are simple and need no access door or winch.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★ 4.8 out of 5  ·  Based on 47 verified reviews
★★★★★
"We ordered the 40' external halyard for our dealership. Installation went smoothly with a local contractor, and it looks impressive from the highway. The satin finish is holding up great after two years of Georgia weather."
Mike R. · Auto Dealership, GA
★★★★★
"Replaced an old steel pole that had rusted through. The aluminum is a game changer — no painting, no corrosion. The external halyard makes flag changes so much easier for our facilities team."
Sarah T. · Municipal Building, OH
★★★★☆
"Great pole and fast shipping. The quality of the hardware, especially the truck and bearings, is noticeably better than the competitors we priced out. Would buy again."
Dave K. · Church, TX

Frequently Asked Questions

An external halyard runs the rope on the outside of the pole and ties off to a cleat at the base, so raising, lowering and replacing the flag is simple with no tools. An internal halyard runs inside the pole behind a locking door to prevent tampering. External halyard poles are the most common choice where easy maintenance is the priority.
 
It depends on the configuration. For example, a 25′ pole with a 5″ butt diameter and 0.125″ wall is rated for 98 mph with a flag flying, while the same height with a 6″ butt and 0.188″ wall handles 168 mph with flag. Our 20′ poles are rated 109 to 229 mph with flag. See the configuration table above for the exact rating of every SKU, and contact us if you need help matching your local building code.
 
Yes, commercial flagpoles require a concrete foundation. Every pole ships with a galvanized corrugated steel ground sleeve and grounding spike. Set depth varies by pole height (3′ for 20’–25′ poles, up to 8′ for the 80′ pole). You’ll need to pour a concrete foundation per the included specifications. Many customers hire a local contractor for this.
 

External Halyard poles have a production lead time of 2 business days in standard finishes (Clear, Bronze, Black), counted from order confirmation and deposit. Custom, powder coat and other anodized finishes are confirmed at the time of order. After production, standard LTL freight typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. An expedited dedicated truck (1 to 3 days) and same-day local delivery within a 4-hour drive of Acworth, GA are also available. Call 800-962-0956 for freight options and cost to your address, or see our Standard Lead Times page.

Each configuration lists a recommended flag size in the table above. As a guide for this series: 20′ flies a 4′×6′, 25′ a 5′×8′, 30′ to 35′ a 6′×10′, 40′ to 45′ an 8′×12′, 50′ a 10′×15′, 60′ to 70′ a 12′×18′, and 80′ a 15′×25′.

A 1-section pole is a single continuous shaft. Multi-section poles ship in pieces that sleeve together on site, which makes delivery and installation easier on taller poles. In this series, 20′ and 25′ are 1-section, 30′ and 35′ come in 1 or 2 sections, 40′ and 45′ are 2-section, and 50′ to 80′ are 3-section. Wind ratings are the same for the 1 and 2-section versions of the same configuration.
