Flagpole And Flag Company Inc

By Amber James


Early flagpoles were simply trees selected for their relative straightness that were cut down, stripped of bark and branches, and then replanted in the ground with a flag attached at the top.

More refined wooden poles were made with spruce or pine trees, which naturally grow straighter than hardwood trees. These trees were stripped of bark and branches and then thoroughly smoothed down with drawknives and planes. They were covered with multiple coats of animal fat to make them weatherproof before being planted in the ground. Because the poles were planted directly in the dirt they tended to rot at the base. Still, well-constructed wooden poles were beautiful artifacts that could remain functional for as many as 50 years.

Near the turn of the twentieth century, steel flagpoles were emerged as they were made of the reused materials that had filled distinctive needs. Wooden presents got on be obsolete. In the later 1920s, flagpole creators began building the poles so essential today.

Assembling advances in aluminum poles drove in the end to the strength of aluminum and aluminum combinations as the essential materials for making flagpoles today. Aluminum is more flexible as an assembling material, and it has gotten to be far less expensive than steel.

The pole used to "fly" the pennant planted on the moon by the Apollo 11 crew may have been the most fabricated flagpole ever. The pole was arranged with an extendable level support to hold a pennant out immovably without an atmosphere, on the surface of the moon. It was made light weight and used an extendable outline that could be controlled by space pilgrims wearing massive space suit gloves.
