Key Product Highlights:

DIY Installation – No Tradie Required

This flagpole is specifically engineered for easy installation. With basic tools and a bit of weekend time, anyone can install this pole in their yard or front garden. Full instructions are included, and the telescopic sections are lightweight and easy to manage.

Three-Piece Telescopic Design

The pole consists of three interlocking 2-metre aluminium sections. When assembled and installed, the FP1 stands 5.5 metres tall above ground, giving your flag prominent visibility from the street. The sections taper from 48mm at the base to 40mm at the top, ensuring stability and wind resistance.

Built for Strength and Durability

Made from anodised aluminium with a 1.6mm wall thickness, this flagpole is both lightweight and structurally sound. It’s designed for long-term outdoor use in a variety of Australian climates—from coastal breezes to inland sun.

Complete External Halyard System

The included halyard system features a pulley, rope, and clips—so you can raise and lower your flag smoothly and securely. The cleat allows you to tie off the rope when your flag is at full height.

Perfect for Residential Flag Displays

Whether it’s for patriotic display, cultural celebration, remembrance, sporting events, or festive occasions, the FP1 flagpole makes a bold and respectful statement—right from your own home.
