Flag Poles and Bases

A flagpole, flagstaff, or staff can be a simple support made of wood or metal. If it is taller than can be easily reached to raise the flag, a cord is used, looping around a pulley at the top of the pole with the ends tied at the bottom.

The flag is fixed to one lower end of the cord, and is then raised by pulling on the other end. The cord is then tightened and tied to the pole at the bottom. The pole is usually topped by a flat plate or ball called a "truck" (originally meant to keep a wooden pole from splitting) or a finial in a more complex shape.

They are also known as base for flags, cheap flag poles, flag pole bracket, flag pole brackets, flag poles, flag poles for sale, flagpole, flagpoles, flags pole, garden flag pole, telescopic flag pole, wall mounted flag poles.
