Flagpoles in two pieces
FBS INDUSTRIES has developed and patented a method of splicing flagpoles. This method makes it possible to transport flagpoles with a length of 30-70 ft. We can of course, split all lengths, to cut the transport costs.

The FBS INDUSTRIES method of splicing is very precise and the strength of the flagpole is retained.

Pound for pound, scientists rate fiberglass stronger than steel, and give it a higher
 tensile strength than aluminum...which makes our fiberglass flagpole a great value!

In the event that any of the goods are found to be defective, in addition to waiving its rights to consequential or incidental damages, the Buyer expressly waives all rights to any and all damages, what so ever.

 

     
  Production Process

To understand our manufacturing process, envision a metal tube or pipe cut in half length-wise and then hinged back together. This is the steel mold. Instead of wrapping the fiberglass around a mandrel like other manufacturers and waiting for it to dry, we wrap the fiberglass and polyester around a rubber inflatable bladder and then place it inside the steel mold which is coated internally with gel-coat.

The bladder is then inflated to high pressure inside the mold. All the air and excess material is forced to the outside and exits through this vent line. This creates the small mold mark you will see. Curing is continued at full pressure and the resulting flagpole is stronger, denser, lighter and longer lasting.

WHY NOT FIBERGLASS?

FIBERGLASS BECAUSE

Greater Strength
Utilization of a specially designed fiberglass roving combined with high quality resins results in an axial strength exceeding 40,000 PSI  plus maximized rigidity. Style VF25C and larger poles withstand 120 MPH winds unflagged.

Appearance
The classical ENTASIS taper is pleasing to the eye and adds strength; no other taper is as graceful. The high gloss modified polyester finish, totally bonded with the resin of the pole,
results in a no chip, no peel, smooth finished surface. It resists scratching and soiling and is virtually maintenance fee.

Non-Conductive
Since fiberglass is non-conductive, it does not require a lightning rod, thus installation is
easier and costs less.

Non-Corrosive, Non-Rusting
Fiberglass does not corrode nor rust, even near salt water.

Color Options
White is the finish most frequently chosen; it simulates the white painted wood pole of
past years but has none of the disadvantages. You may order a color of your choice
including the popular bronze, at a nominal additional cost.

Revolving Truck
All poles come with a special designed, high quality, revolving truck as standard equipment.

 

 

 

HINGE-BASE
HINGED BASE
               hingebase.pdf


the cool thing about hinge base technology is...if your rope breaks with a traditional upright flagpole you must get a really tall ladder and a ton of courage or a bucket truck with operator (avg. $90.00 - five minutes of work) to restring your pole.

With a hinged base pole you just unscrew the three boltsat the base - with a ratchet - (as seen below) and your pole tilts all the way to the ground enabling one person to make repairs in a few short minutes. 

Very good idea for poles 25ft and taller.

Internal Halyard CU




click for a close-up

The heavy duty hinged ground attachment offers the homeowner or professional installer easy installation. 
One person can raise or lower a 40 foot flagpole.  The easy to use leveling system makes installation simple and fast.

Features:

  • Attractive, strong, hot-dipped zinc galvanized steel base.
  • Available in 20/25/30/33/35/40/50/60 foot lengths
  • Can be easily taken down and moved to a new home or building location yet offers more security than a ground sleeve flagpole.
  • Mounting kit comes complete with all fittings, hardware and anchoring rods.
    Includes halyard, cleat, flag attachments, revolving truck and finial.
    Nothing extra to purchase.

Options:

All hinged base flagpoles can be purchased with the new, innovative Internal Halyard System.
(means the rope is located on the inside of the pole and can only be accessed through a locked trap door in the side of the pole. great for areas with a high incident rate of vandalism or stolen flags)

  The standard external system has the halyard outside the flagpole and ties to a cleat.  The internal Halyard System uses a special designed winch of high tensile steel, stainless rollers and brass bushings mounted inside the pole to raise and lower the flag.  No exposed halyard to slap or be exposed to the elements.  An attractive nylon covered counterweight is provided for attachment to the flag to keep it in proper position.

HINGED BASE MODELS

  • compare these prices with aluminum poles without a hinged base

  • compare with any other pole this is the only brand on the market world wide with any kind of warranty

  • compare our pricing - is almost half the price to the conventional flagpoles being sold.
