How tall should a home flagpole be?

For most residential homes, at one to two stories, a 15 to 25-foot flagpole will look pretty good. Another consideration is the size of the flag you are going to be using. A good rule of thumb when deciding this is a flag should be approximately one-quarter to a third the size of the flagpole it is going to be flying from. For example, a 3-foot by 5-foot flag will look proportionate and proper on a flagpole that runs from 15 to 20 feet. This decision also comes down to cosmetic preference. Will a larger flag look nice next to your home? Maybe something a little more modest? All things to consider when making your decision. Be sure to check with your local ordinance to see if there is a limitation on flagpole size for your area. Finding the right flagpole for the location in your country is determined by several key factors. More windy areas will require something a little sturdier and may not benefit from a taller flagpole.

What is a telescopic flagpole?

A telescopic flagpole is a different option flagpole to that of your standard flagpoles. The telescopic flagpole folds in on itself, to where a traditional flagpole all comes together as a solid pole. The telescopic flagpole acts as a movable piece, and this lends it the ability to be more adjustable in height and for a quick takedown in potentially inclement weather.
