A flagpole is a tall, vertical structure designed to display a flag. Typically made of materials like metal, wood, or fiberglass, flagpoles can vary in height and design. They are commonly found in public spaces, schools, and private properties, serving as a symbol of national pride or organizational identity. Flagpoles often feature a halyard, which is a rope used to raise and lower the flag. Some flagpoles are fixed, while others can be rotated or telescoped for easier maintenance. The height and placement of a flagpole can enhance visibility and respect for the flag it displays, such as the United States flag or other national flags.
