Product Description
Introducing our NEW 10 Gauge Telescoping Flagpoles from Veterans Flag Depot - the ultimate in Telescoping Flagpoles in the U.S.A.
Note: Telescoping Flagpoles ship separately from all other items you may order thus may have their own shipping charge. I acknowledge it takes 21 days to ship.
With a pole base of 2 3/4" and a wall thickness of 10 gauge aerospace drawn 6013 aluminum this design bridges the lower priced residential flagpoles with the more expensive commercial grade poles valued at hundreds of dollars.
The tensile (or bending strength) of the drawn 6013 aluminum equals or exceeds the strength of traditional steel*. Click Here
Our manufacturer guarantees its products with an unparalleled 15 year Warranty (including weather damage).
Designed and tested with the assistance of one of Pennsylvania leading engineering universities and fabricated by Americans for Americans, you can take comfort in the quality and durability of your purchase.
No inexpensive or cheap polycarbonate (Lexan) plastics are utilized in manufacturing, only high quality carbon-fiber composites to insure superior strength and backed by a 10 year warranty.
Our dual-locking design of high quality stainless-steel prevents any accidental dropping of the individual sections and flagpole damage that can occur with traditional spring loaded buttons and twist locks.
In cold weather, our flagpoles will not freeze, and will still be functional do to our special locking system unlike spring loaded and twist lock flagpoles.
The exterior has a smooth and beautiful finish that can only be achieved through the use of drawn aluminum as opposed to the less-expensive extruded aluminum of traditional poles.
Extra thick PVC ground sleeve with a decorative carbon-fiber bushing will help deter theft and unwanted rotational movement.
These New Telescoping Flagpoles are the Ultimate in design and strength and ready to serve you for many years to come.
So don't settle for mediocrity and higher prices when you can have the strongest and finest telescoping flagpole!
When comparing the strength of our poles versus our competitors:
6013 aluminum virtually doubles the strength of the pole
10 gauge wall thickness versus 16 gauge of other flagpoles will add 1/3 additional strength to the pole
5 sections instead of 4 sections of other 20' flagpoles, will also give you additional strength
Our manufacturer. does not rely on claims as manufacturing the strongest pole in the market. They prove it with facts. Just do the math.

*6013 Aluminum

6013 is a new medium strength aerospace alloy that provides improved corrosion resistance and formability for use in aerospace applications including primary aircraft structures. Alloy 6013 is an aluminum-magnesium-silicon-copper alloy that has yield strengths 12% higher than alclad 2024-T3 and is virtually immune to exfoliation and stress corrosion cracking. Industry use has demonstrated that 6013 in the T4 condition has better stretch forming characteristics than other aerospace aluminum alloys. Parts can be formed in the T4 condition and aged to the T6 condition without costly heat-treating or annealing operations. Heat treatable.
Applications
Uses for 6013 include primary structural applications including fuselage panels, leading and trailing edges and engine cowlings. Lockheed has chosen 6013-T6 for the fuselage of the Navy's P-7A aircraft. Canadair has specified 6013-T6 for the leading edges of the Regional Jet.
Questair has been producing the Questair kit aircraft since 1986 entirely from 6013. Major jet aircraft builders are considering 6013 for applications on large commercial aircraft.
Alloy 6013 is receiving consideration in most new programs taking advantage of the improved formability, lower density and corrosion resistance.
While all the 6000 series extruded aluminum tubes used by other manufacturers have a tensile strength (measured in PSI) of about 30,000. Drawn aluminum 6013 can exceed 64,000 PSI.
