Flagpoles for coastal areas are specially designed to withstand the environmental conditions that come with the location. Nautical flagpoles (or any flagpole that has a yardarm or yardarm/gaff) are some of the most heavy-duty flagpoles to exist, able to withstand storms and high wind, salty gusts that can deteriorate standard materials. There are several things to consider when deciding whether you need a nautical flagpole or a high wind flagpole, and we’ll help guide you through it.
What Makes a Nautical Flagpole Perfect for Coastal Regions?
The ocean’s proximity impacts what requirements to evaluate when browsing your flagpole options. The closer you are to the sea, the more your location is exposed to salt corrosion, high winds, and storm conditions. Nautical fiberglass flagpoles consider these exposures by giving you marine-grade hardware and resistance to rust or corrosion.
What Are the Benefits of Wind Resistance in Nautical Flagpoles?
Given how the coast is prone to storms and often unpredictable high wind gusts, you will need a high wind flagpole. We recommend checking your wind zone rating to understand what kind of wind resistance your flagpole will need. Additionally, you will need a sturdy flagpole that is durable against these conditions, making fiberglass flagpoles an excellent choice given their strength and flexibility. For more information on high wind flagpoles, consider reading our other article that discusses the benefits of a high wind flagpole.
What Makes Nautical Flagpoles Low Maintenance?
With the coastal region’s harsh conditions, you will want to consider a flagpole that requires minimal upkeep. The salt air, high winds, and constant sun exposure can take a toll on the flagpole material. Fiberglass flagpoles are an incredibly low maintenance option as the material is corrosion and rust resistant. Additionally, consider a nautical flagpole that has a UV protectant built into the coating for an extra layer of protection against nature.
