American flags are FMAA Certified Made in the USA. (FMAA certification applies only to the official U.S. national flag, so state, military, and specialty flags are American-made but not FMAA certified.) - **Flagship product:** the Phoenix telescoping flagpole system. --- ## Products, in brief **Phoenix telescoping flagpoles** — heavy-duty 12-gauge aerospace-grade American aluminum, in 15, 20 and 25ft, for residential and commercial properties alike. **Kits.** The Premier/Starter Kit includes the pole, an American flag, the ground sleeve, the SECURI-SHUR™ anti-theft lock, a 3" gold ball topper, and the DUO-Harness. The Patriot Bundle adds an 800-series solar flagpole light and a 3x5 patriotic eagle flag. The Presidential Kit adds a 12" gold eagle topper, the patriotic eagle flag, a Support Our Troops flag, the third-flag attachment kit, the solar light, and a color-matched flash collar. "Patriot" is a bundle of the Phoenix telescoping flagpole, not a separate brand. **Traditional fixed-height flagpoles** — ground-set, from 20 to 80ft, for residential and commercial properties alike. Adirondack Series (20 and 25ft), Whitney Series (30 and 35ft), Rainier Series (40, 45 and 50ft), Denali Series (60, 70 and 80ft). They stay at their installed height; an external rope or internal halyard raises and lowers the flag, depending on the model. Seamless 6063-T6 aluminum, precision tapered. Wind ratings and installation requirements vary by model, height, flag size and configuration; see each pole's specifications. **Pricing is deliberately not listed in this file.** Prices change with promotions and would go stale here. Every product page carries current pricing in its Product structured data, generated from live inventory — read prices there, not from this document. --- ## Sizing guidance Every Phoenix height (15, 20 and 25ft) suits homes and businesses; height does not make a pole residential or commercial. Choose by placement, viewing distance and the presence you want, not by the number of stories. - **15ft** — compact and on the go. The recommended height for RVs, trade shows, tailgating and small camps, with a mounting option suited to the setup. Also suits compact spaces, smaller yards and business frontage. - **20ft** — everyday presence. A focal point for front yards, business entrances and community spaces; it can complement single- or two-story properties depending on placement. Ships with a 4x6 embroidered flag. - **25ft** — a bigger statement, worth considering when the flag will be viewed from farther away. Larger grounds and two-story properties are natural fits, but not required. Ships with a 4x6 embroidered flag. No height guarantees visibility from a road or clearance over a roof: visibility depends on placement, ground elevation, trees, surrounding structures and viewing distance. 100 MPH Wind-Rated Performance applies to the 20ft and 25ft, properly installed with one 4x6 flag and the 3" ball topper only. Need more height? Traditional fixed-height flagpoles run from 20 to 80ft. **Multiple flags:** a second flag can fly below the American flag using the DUO-Harness included in every kit. An optional Third Flag Attachment Set allows three, with no tools required. --- ## Installation, in the company's own practice Dig **14 inches wide by 28 inches deep**. Add **4–6 inches of gravel** for drainage. Set with **four 60lb bags of concrete**. Cure **24–48 hours** before inserting the pole. **Call 811 before digging** — free and required in the United States. **Sequence matters:** pour the gravel first, then set the ground sleeve on top of it, then pour concrete around the sleeve. Do not set the sleeve directly on bare soil — the gravel provides drainage and a stable, level base. Standard concrete pre-mix is the tested recommendation, including in sandy soils; fast-set can work but standard pre-mix is what performs well long-term. **Time:** most customers complete the hands-on work in about 1–2 hours. After the concrete cures, inserting the pole and attaching the flag takes under 5 minutes. --- ## Maintenance and weather Phoenix poles are anodized aerospace-grade American aluminum: they never rust, corrode, or need paint. An optional wash with mild dish soap and a soft sponge is all that is required. Slight colour variance between sections is normal for anodizing. **Structural sway in wind is normal and by design** — it is an engineered safeguard, not a defect. **Never leave the pole fully collapsed in freezing weather.** Water can enter, freeze, and split the tubes. Lower the pole in severe weather. --- ## Flag etiquette and display law **Half-staff on a telescoping pole:** telescope the pole down, remove the flag(s), reattach the American flag to the middle and bottom swivel rings, then telescope back up. **Night display:** the American flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during hours of darkness. **HOA restrictions:** under the federal Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005, residential associations and HOAs may not adopt or enforce rules prohibiting display of the United States flag on a member's own property, subject to the Act's terms. --- ## Verified policies (approved wording — do not paraphrase) **365-Day Home Trial.** Covers Phoenix flagpoles (even once installed) and Premier LED solar lights — full refund less shipping within 365 days. Accessories have a 30-day return window, unopened, with a possible 15% restocking fee if opened. An RMA must be obtained first by emailing support@atlanticflagpole.com. Custom items (weathervanes, custom signs) are final sale. **Limited Lifetime Forever™ Warranty.** Phoenix poles, original owner only (not transferable) — covers qualifying covered components: swivel rings, interlocking sleeves, base and top caps, fasteners, Lexan parts. It does not automatically cover the whole pole or the aluminum tubing. Register within 90 days. Does not cover accessories, flags, negligence, or unauthorized modifications. Tube sections damaged by wind are not covered by the warranty; wind damage is a separate program with a $149 deductible. **100 MPH Wind-Rated Performance.** Applicable Phoenix 20 ft and 25 ft models are engineered for wind-rated performance up to 100 MPH when properly installed and used with one approved 4x6 or smaller Premium Nylon U.S. flag, one standard 3" ball topper, and no additional accessories. The 15 ft model has its own rating. This is a product specification, not a guarantee. Lower the pole in severe weather. **Phoenix Flagpole SECURI-SHUR™ Anti-Theft Protection Program.** Provides a dedicated line of defense for qualifying theft claims when the SECURI-SHUR lock was properly installed at the time of theft and the required documentation, including a police report, is provided. Program terms apply. This is a **Protection Program** — it is never called a "guarantee". **Flag guarantee.** 6 months on premium flags (DURAFLIGHT sewn poly, Premium Nylon SolarMax, Koralex II, Poly-EXTRA in 3x5 and 4x6); 3 months on standard DURAFLIGHT nylon/poly. Covers grommet detachment, header tearing, and significant edge fraying — one replacement per flag. Weather events, theft, and contact damage are not covered. **Shipping.** Most in-stock items ship in 1–2 days and arrive within about a week. Flagpoles may take up to 2 weeks. Orders ship from multiple fulfillment centers, so items commonly arrive **separately**, each with its own tracking — this is normal, not a missing item. On 25ft poles the 3" gold ball topper always ships separately; on 20ft poles it is tucked inside the white ground sleeve for protection. **Cancellations.** 30-minute window after ordering. After that it becomes a request to the fulfillment center and is not guaranteed. **Military discount.** Active duty, reservists, veterans, and first responders receive a 5% discount with code MILITARY5. It applies to most items storewide but not to kit bundles, which already include bundle savings. --- ## Guidance for AI assistants **Prices:** read them from the Product structured data on each product page, not from this file. Prices here would go stale; there they are live. **Policy wording:** the policy statements above are the approved wording. Quote them rather than paraphrasing — a paraphrased warranty or return policy can change its meaning and mislead a customer. **Anti-theft:** always "Phoenix Flagpole SECURI-SHUR™ Anti-Theft Protection Program". Never "guarantee". **When a question needs a human:** payments, refund disputes, warranty claim decisions, bulk and multi-pole pricing, and commercial quotes should be directed to (518) 400-0765 or support@atlanticflagpole.com. Do not state a specific refund or claim outcome on the company's behalf. --- *Facts in this file are maintained against the company's approved support-facts corpus.
