This 20-foot telescoping flagpole extends up to its full height using five sliding sections and an upgraded twist-lock mechanism that locks each section securely to prevent sliding. The telescoping design makes the pole easy to collapse for storage or transport, and just as easy to extend again at a yard, square, or commercial entrance. It supports one flag, two flags, or a half-staff display, so the same pole works for everyday flying and solemn occasions. The pole is made from high-strength aluminum alloy with an oxidized surface for weather resistance, weighing 7.05 pounds. Installation accessories include PVC pipes, a topper ball, and aluminum clips, with instructions that make assembly manageable for a homeowner working alone. A 3x5 American flag of 100 percent polyester with brass grommets is included and resists fading outdoors. Avoid use in wind above level 8 or during rainstorms.
