I think of this time of year as “anniversary season”. So many people I know have wedding anniversaries in the summer and fall. It is fun to review the list of traditional yearly gifts. It is funny how after the 25th year, all gifts are gems or associated with jewelry! When you make it twenty-five years, gemstones are the perfect gift! Or you can gift an aluminum flagpole as a 10 year wedding gift.

The traditional anniversary gift for the tenth year is aluminum. And an in-ground aluminum flagpole makes the perfect gift. A flagpole as a gift stands the test of time. It stands tall and is a visual reminder of the anniversary, birthday, or holiday it was gifted. We offer a wide range of in-ground flagpoles.
Telescoping
A telescoping flagpole comes in 15’, 20’, or 25’ heights. It is made in the USA and can be shipped via UPS. While most telescoping flagpoles do not have a wind rating, the 15’ flagpole has a 75 MPH wind rating and the 20’ and 25’ flagpoles have a 95 MPH wind rating. These are available in silver, light bronze, and black/bronze.
Three-Piece Aluminum Flagpole
Three-piece flagpoles are milled the same as one-piece flagpoles but have three sections that swedge together so they can ship UPS or FedEx. Read about our three-piece flagpole here.
One-Piece Aluminum Flagpole
Single-piece aluminum flagpoles are our most popular flagpole. They are strong and with proper care, can last for several decades. External halyard (rope outside the flagpole) flagpoles are the most common for residential use. However, we offer all types of flagpoles, including internal halyard (rope inside the flagpole) flagpoles of all heights, sizes, and finishes.
We have many flagpoles of all varieties of in-stock flagpoles, so if you are in a rush or bind, we can help you.
