Aluminium
Piggotts aluminium flagpoles give a slim, elegant and very pleasing appearance. They are taper-drawn from a single piece of aluminium alloy tubing, so that there are no welded seams; the result is constant quality over their entire length. All Piggotts aluminium flagpoles are fitted with gold coloured plastic finial or button top, halyard rope and cleat. Our aluminium flagpoles can be supported by hinged or fixed baseplate, traditional tabernacle, ground sleeve or with various brackets for wall mounting. Piggotts aluminium flagpoles combine unusual strength whilst being lightweight, and have been in practical use for over 15 years. The special satin brushed finish resists dirt and the flagpoles can be maintenance free for several years. Our aluminium flagpoles range in height from 5-15 metre, although drawn in one piece the 13, 14 and 15 metre flagpoles are cut at 12 metre then the top section of 1, 2 or 3 metres are fitted.
A lockable door internal halyard system can also be fitted to our aluminium range as a precaution against vandalism.
Steel
This flagpole range can be tapered from butt to top or supplied parallel. Standard sizes range from 5 metre to 16 metre. A recommended optional extra available is a white painted finish; this improves the appearance and also increases the protection and life of the flagpole, this flagpole will normally, unless specified be supplied in a galvanised finish. This range of flagpole is now not held within our stock range and is seen mainly as a bespoke item for special projects such as fixed banner masts or where extra strength is required.
Timber
Piggotts timber flagpoles are made from Douglas Fir (pseudotsuga menziesii). This timber is sometimes call British Columbian Pine and can last for around twenty years and longer if properly maintained. All our timber flagpoles are trimmed by hand - a time honoured traditional method. These flagpoles are trimmed as appropriate to site conditions and to suit the flag sizes required. Piggotts timber flagpoles are fixed by tabernacle for ground installations. Wall mounting brackets are also available. Timber flagpoles require regular maintenance and inspections periodically to prevent the possibility of rot spore activation. Due to the need of maintenance this type of flagstaff is now not widely used.
