Why Telescoping

Better Than Every Other Flagpole

Traditional flagpoles use ropes that snap, tangle, and slap all night. Telescoping poles eliminate all of that — permanently.

🚫
No Ropes or Pulleys

The patented twist-lock telescoping design means no halyard rope to snap, tangle, fray, or slap against the pole at 3 AM. Dead quiet.

🔒
Anti-Theft Built In

Securi-LOK™ interlocking sleeve technology and the optional Pol-D-Fense™ Flagpole Theft Replacement Coverage mean your pole stays where you put it.

☁️
100 MPH Wind Rated

12-gauge aircraft-grade American aluminum — engineered to hold through storms that would bend cheaper poles in half. Backed in writing.

🏭
30-Minute Install

Ground sleeve goes in, sections lock together, flag clips on. No contractor, no concrete mix, no special tools. One person can do it alone.

🏧
Change Flags in Seconds

Lower the top section, swap the flag, raise it back up. No ladder, no climbing. Works the same whether it’s 15 ft or 25 ft.

🆕
Forever Warranty™

No receipt required, no expiration date. If anything goes wrong with the pole — ever — Atlantic Flag & Pole replaces it. That’s the promise.

FAQs

Telescoping Flagpole Questions

Everything you need to know before you buy.

A telescoping flagpole is made of multiple nested aluminum sections that slide and lock into each other — like a car antenna. To raise the flag, you extend each section upward and twist it to lock in place. To lower it, you twist and collapse each section down. No ropes, no pulleys, no hardware beyond the pole itself. The Phoenix uses a patented Securi-LOK™ internal locking system that holds each section firmly at full extension even in high winds.
Most customers complete installation in 20–30 minutes. The process: dig or auger a hole for the ground sleeve (typically 18–24 inches deep), set the sleeve, insert the base section, lock each telescoping section together, and attach the flag. No contractor needed, no concrete required for most residential installs. A full step-by-step installation guide is included with every kit and available at our installation page.
The general rule is flagpole height should be roughly 1.5× the height of your roofline. For most single-family homes, the 20 ft pole is the most popular choice — it flies a 4×6 ft flag and is clearly visible from the street without overwhelming the property. The 15 ft is ideal for townhomes, condos, or smaller yards. The 25 ft is best for large lots, corner properties, or anywhere you want maximum presence.
Yes — the Phoenix is rated and guaranteed to 100 MPH winds (103 MPH on the Presidential Kit). It’s built from 12-gauge aircraft-grade American aluminum, the same material used in structural applications. The twist-lock sections hold securely at full extension. Thousands of Phoenix owners have flown through full hurricane seasons and nor’easters without any damage to the pole.
The standard recommendation: use a flag that is roughly 25% of the pole height. For a 15 ft pole, a 3×5 ft flag is correct — it’s included in Premier Kits on the 15 ft variant. For a 20 ft or 25 ft pole, a 4×6 ft flag is the right size and is included in all Patriot and Presidential Kits, and in Premier Kits on the 20 and 25 ft variants.
Every Phoenix flagpole kit includes the Forever Warranty™ — lifetime coverage with no receipt required, no expiration date, and no questions asked. If the pole ever fails, Atlantic Flag & Pole replaces it. The Presidential Kit additionally includes the SEAL TEAM 6 Guarantee™ which extends to cover theft via the Pol-D-Fense™ anti-theft program.
Both are anodized aluminum — rustproof, UV-stable, never needs painting. Silver is the classic look that matches most home exteriors and pairs with the gold ball or gold eagle topper. Black Bronze is a bold, modern finish that coordinates with dark trim, black gutters, and contemporary architecture. It pairs with the black bronze ball topper for a fully cohesive look. Both finishes are the same pole — same aluminum, same rating, same warranty.

• “Two Lights, Two Failures, Two Years”

I’ve been a customer of Atlantic Flag & Pole for a couple of years and the flagpole itself is genuinely excellent — no complaints there. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for their 800 series solar light.
This is the second solar light I’ve gone through in two years. The first failed within a year and was replaced at no charge, which I appreciated. The replacement has now failed at the same point in its life — around the one-year mark.
What makes this especially frustrating is that I took deliberate steps to protect the light. Living in Ohio, I brought it indoors every winter to shield it from the harsh weather. Despite that extra care, it still didn’t last.
When I contacted customer support, the team was courteous and professional. But the resolution — a 30% discount toward another $300 light — doesn’t feel fair given the pattern of failure. I’m essentially being asked to pay full price again for a product that has proven it won’t last.
I fly the American flag and I take that seriously. I want a reliable light on that pole. At this price point, I expected better longevity and better backing from the company when things go wrong.
If you’re considering the flagpole, go for it. But I’d think carefully before investing in the solar light accessory until Atlantic Flag & Pole addresses the reliability issues and stands behind the product more fully.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re glad to hear you’ve been happy with the flagpole itself. We also appreciate your kind words about our customer support team.

We do want to respectfully clarify the warranty situation. The 800 Series Solar Light includes a 2-year warranty. When your original light failed within that warranty period, we fully honored the warranty and replaced it at no charge.

The replacement light was provided under that original warranty coverage. When you contacted us again, the original 2-year warranty period had already expired. While we understand your frustration, warranties do have defined coverage periods, and we are not able to continue replacing products indefinitely after the warranty has ended.

That said, we still wanted to help, which is why we offered 30% off a replacement light even though the warranty period had passed.

We stand behind our products and our warranty commitments, and in this case, we did honor the warranty in full. We’re sorry the light did not meet your expectations, but we believe the support provided was fair and consistent with the stated warranty terms.

Thank you again for your business and for your feedback.

SAVE YOUR MONEY. DO NOT BUY THE LIGHT. After 1 year my light no longer worked. I contacted them and they said they would get back to me and what do you know they still have not responded and it is a year ago. Customer service is terrible.
One thing I have to say that the flagpole is GREAT!!
I am very happy with the flagpole but not with the light and how they handled this situation.
If things were different I would have gave this 10 stars.

Love my Atlantic Flag pole

I have thoroughly loved my Atlantic Flag pole. The only change I'd recommend (or option to be made available) would be to have made weighted bead tethers and a top ball bearing swivel.
Mine began wrapping more as time went on even though I applied the best plastic to plastic lubricant, so I first bought 2, 2"diameter 1 lb. tethers. Then I found a 2"diameter flag pole ball bearing swivel. I lightly sanded down the current plastic stopper ring until it slide over it and put the screws through it.
It hasn't wrapped since! And will never wear out!
This is something I'm hoping they will come out with to fit there flag poles specifically so people don't have to re-engineer things to work like I did.
Otherwise from that, this is a fantastic flag pole!

GREAT SERVICE

I LOVE my flagpole. I purchased it in 2018 and recently had trouble with one of the locking mechanisms so I was unable to get the flagpole to fully extend. I sent an email on a Saturday explaining my situation and I got a response that day. A gentleman named Kevin texted me a video explaining how to repair my flagpole and he also immediately sent me the parts I needed to repair the flagpole which were covered under the warranty. The quick response on a
Saturday, immediate execution of sending me the parts I needed along with the detailed and easy to follow instructional video far exceeded my expectations. Kevin’s customer service was AMAZING!!!!!

This is the second flagpole that I have from Atlantic Flag and Pole. I had a small issue with the flags getting twisted. Bethany called me directly made a few suggestions and now both flags are flying as they should.
Well done Bethany!

20 ft. Flagpole

Nice pole but I have a couple of problems with mine. In a 25 mph wind the pole bends a little and I cannot lower the flag. In light and variable wind the flag sometimes hangs up flat against the pole and doesn't fly because the plastic ring at flag attachment doesn't turn easily in that situation.

Nice Flagpole

I have a 20’ pole and enjoy it, but there are a couple of problems with it. In a 25 mph wind it bends just enough that I cannot lower it. When wind is light and variable the flag sometimes gets hung flat against the pole and doesn't fly because the rings the flag is attached to do not turn on the pole.

I have owned my Telescoping 25+ Foot Pole with the 4x6 American Flag that came with it since August 2020. I just had to come and put in a review and let you all know that this is one sturdy and strong pole. I live in Lower Alabama and we get some strong winds. Granted I do telescope it down when we have a hurricane coming, take off the solar light and bring my flag in. But, it is standing proud and true still. The flag is very well made. It has enduring daily waving, sun and rain. It's colors do not bleed but, it does fade with time but, it stays crisp. I believe that the flag will still look good for another year or so. I like my colors sharp so I'll let you all know how long it lasts til I feel I want to replace it. I highly recommend this company's telescoping flag pole and the American Flag they sell. Both excellent quality.

Great flagpole

100% satisfied with this flagpole. We have had it up about 4 yrs, flying OLD GLORY with pride. We take pole down during tornadoes or hurricanes , then goes right back up when storm is done. I have had no problem with the locking or unlocking system. Poles have gone up or down very easily, simple to lock an unlock.

Great Flagpole

I purchased my flagpole almost a year ago and I did not want to be too quick to review whether good or bad. I live in a high wind area and this flagpole has lived up to its promises. I followed all the instructions on installation and I love it. The American flag did not make it for a full year, but again, we are in a high wind area. I would highly recommend this flagpole and company.

Gail,
Beautiful video of your Phoenix Flagpole and with the mountains in the background- it makes it that much more majestic. I'm a little envious I don't have the view to wake up to every morning (yet ;) )Thank you so much for sharing. We love to see what our flagpole family does with our Phoenix Telescoping Flag Poles!
