How to replace rope & snaphooks
on an existing in-ground flagpole |
|
|
How to
replace rope (halyard)
Please read through the entire set of instructions before you begin.
You will need scissors or a knife for cutting the rope and duct
tape.
Step 1:
Determine which side of the rope to cut.
- Examine the
rope. Choose the side of rope which is free of knots and snap hooks
that could prevent you from pulling the old rope through the pulley
at the top of the pole.
Step 2: Cut
the old rope.
- Cut the old
rope on the side without snap hooks, knots, or other encumbrances.
Be sure to hold each end of the cut rope tightly. You don’t want
the rope to fly up the pole and out of the pulley.
Step 3: Attach
new rope to the old.
- Using duct
tape, securely attach one end of the new rope to one end of the the
old. Make sure your rope will still flow freely through the pulley.
Step 4: Replace old rope with the new rope.
- Pull the
other side of the old rope so it pulls the new rope up the pole and
through the pulley.
- Once the new
rope is through the pulley and back down to you, cut the old rope
loose. Keep hold of the two pieces of rope. Note: Burning the ends
of the new rope will prevent the rope from fraying.
- Tie the ends
of the new rope together. One square knot and two half hitches will
work nicely.
- Anchor the
new rope to the pole by wrapping several times around a cleat.

Snap hook installation on
rope:
Step 1:
Determine where to install the snap hooks.
-
For a new
flag: Measure the distance between the grommets on your flag.
This will be the same distance between the snap hooks on the
rope.
-
Replacing
old snap hooks: First, make sure any knots or other rope flaws
that would prevent the rope from threading through the pulley are
at the bottom of the rope circle and the snap hooks are close to
the top. Lower the flag and put the new snap in approximately the
same location as the old snap hooks.
Step 2:
Thread the snap hooks.
-
Slip a
loop through the eye of the snap hook.
-
Put the
loop over the top of the snap hook & draw rope tight.
