The Best Flagpoles

Early flagpoles were simply trees selected for their relative straightness that were cut down, stripped of bark and branches, and then replanted in the ground with a flag attached at the top.

Over the years, the wood flagpole was improved by shaping and sanding the pole until it was straight and had a smooth finish. More refined wooden posts were made with spruce or pine trees, which normally become straighter than hardwood trees. These trees were stripped of bark and branches and afterward altogether smoothed down with drawknives and planes. They were secured with different layers of creature fat to make them weatherproof before being planted in the ground.

Close to the turn of the twentieth century, steel banner poles turned out to be more prominent, in spite of the fact that they were regularly basically the reused materials that had filled different needs. Wooden posts got to be outdated. In the later 1920s, flagpole makers started building the long tapered poles so basic today.

Manufacturing advances in extruding aluminum poles led eventually to the dominance of aluminum and aluminum alloys as the primary materials for creating flagpoles today. Aluminum is more versatile as a manufacturing material, and as production processes have improved, it has become far cheaper than steel.

The pole used to "fly" the pennant planted on the moon by the Apollo 11 crew may have been the most fabricated flagpole ever. The pole was arranged with an extendable level support to hold a pennant out immovably without an atmosphere, on the surface of the moon. It was made light weight and used an extendable outline that could be controlled by space pilgrims wearing massive space suit gloves.
