Asst. Chief Series Commercial Flagpoles

Asst. Chief poles hide the halyard inside the pole for a clean look with no rope slapping in the wind. The rope ties off at a cam cleat behind a locking access door, so nobody can take your flag down without the key. A beaded retainer ring and counterweight keep the flag close to the pole. It's the affordable way to get an internal halyard, at 20' to 40'.

How to choose: external halyard poles (Jr Cadet through Battalion Chief) have the rope on the outside and cost less. Internal halyard poles hide the rope or cable inside and lock it away: Asst. Chief uses a rope and a locking cam cleat, while Chief and Deputy Chief use a stainless cable and a winch with a removable handle, our most secure setup. Within each type, a higher rank means thicker walls and a higher wind rating. Captain poles are nautical: a yardarm (and optional gaff) lets you fly several flags from one pole.
