There is actually a very tall flagpole found in Amman, Jordan. It is known as the tallest flagpole in the world, set up in 2003 and made of carbon steel pole. It extends 416 feet into the sky and weighs about 190,000 pounds. The giant flagpole will require a solid and huge foundation, weighing at least 600 tons. The flagpole is also bolted to the foundation by about 36 carbon steel bolts. It is made to tolerate heavy winds of up to 90 miles an hour. The flagpole can then conveniently stay tough against earthquakes, storms and other calamities. The design and construction of the pole required two entire years and big corporations are working together to keep it standing. The flagpole project you start at home will not require as much work but you still need to get the basic elements ready.
Initially, determine the best height for the flagpole as well as the dimensions of the flag. The length of the flag should be around 25 to 40 percent of the flagpole height.
A standard commercial flagpole will extend about 30 to 35 feet tall from the ground. Some people might like to make an impression by setting up the flagpole in your front lawn. Be sure to keep the height easy to maintain and the foundation solid. Residential flagpoles usually stand about 20 to 25 feet tall for a home one to two stories high.
Also determine the material that you will need for the flagpoles. You can choose among fiberglass, metal, wood or even bronze and stainless steel.
