A flagpole is a system, and the pole itself is the part that never fails. What wears out is everything else — the halyard frays, the truck bearings seize, the snaps corrode, the collar cracks after a decade of sun. Replacing a part costs a fraction of replacing a pole.
Every flagpole part and accessory we stock is below, grouped by where it sits on the pole. Most is made in USA and ships fast. Not sure which part you need? Take a photo of what failed and call us at 800-454-6998 — we'll identify it and match the size.

| Flag hangs wrong on an internal halyard pole | Internal halyard parts |
Rope & rigging
- Flag pole rope & halyard — cut to length in solid braided polyester, wire center anti-theft, and pre-bagged kits. 3/16" to 3/8". The most-replaced part on any flagpole.
- Trucks & pulleys — the rotating assembly at the top of the pole. External halyard OT and ST series, internal halyard IH-2, plus replacement pulleys and eyebolt assemblies.
- Cleats — cast aluminum tie-off cleats for securing the halyard at the base.
- Snaps & covers — solid brass swivel snaps, rubber-coated snaps, nylon snaps and vinyl covers that stop metal-on-pole clatter.
- Internal halyard parts — counterweights, beaded retainer rings and cam-lock access doors for poles that run the halyard inside the shaft.
Foundation & base
- Ground sleeves — steel sleeves with support plate and centering wedges, plus PVC sleeves for lighter residential installs. The part that sets the pole plumb and takes the wind load.
- Shoe bases — stationary and tilting bases for surface-mounted poles. Tilting bases let one person lower the pole for maintenance.
- Flash collars — spun aluminum collars from 2" to 10" that cover the ground sleeve seam and finish the base. Sized to the pole butt diameter.
- Holders, sockets & bases — lawn and curb sockets, tire mounts, side mounts and vertical holders for poles that aren't set in concrete.
Mounting hardware
- Flag pole holders & brackets — wall mount and adjustable brackets, multi-angle and finger brackets, school and parking-meter brackets, plus stainless mounting straps. For houses, buildings, RVs and boats.
- Wall mount flagpoles — outrigger and vertical wall-mount poles for buildings, storefronts and dock posts.
- Boat & dock mounts — rod holder poles, pontoon rail mounts and aluminum dock mounts for 15' and 20' poles.
Top & finish
- Ornaments & finials — gold anodized balls, eagles and spear points. The visible upgrade that dates a pole fastest when it's weathered.
- Flagpole lights — solar and hardwired lights, so the flag can stay up after dark as etiquette requires.
Indoor & parade
- Indoor flagpoles — oak and aluminum poles with brass or chrome joints for offices, courtrooms and lobbies.
- Floor stands and table bases — weighted stands for indoor display.
- Parade flagpoles — carrying poles, harnesses and hardware for colour guards and processions.
