Wooden Flag Poles
With Collars pedigree in making the finest
quality wooden yacht masts and Oars it was only a matter of time before our skill were
call upon to produce custom wooden flag poles.
Traditional wooden flag poles were originally turned from solid grown timber, but with suitable lengths hard to find and the associated problems such as drying and rot, laminated poles ultimately are the way forward. With construction almost identical to that of a yacht mast, the wooden flag poles we make are normally of hollow construction saving weight and allowing the pole to naturally expand and contract in the changing conditions. Painted white using a marine paint system, they require little maintenance and are custom made to any size, whether replacing an existing pole or installing a flag pole from scratch.
More often than not there is a tabernacle arrangement at the foot of the mast to allow the pole to be raised and lowed, and the fabrication of this is something we can certainly help with if needed. Likewise the staying of the flag pole together with the installation is a service we are pleased to offer and happily provide an estimate on request.
Over the years commissions have included
small church roof poles to large Naval Bases requiring a 60' timber flag pole together
with a yard arm. So whether a golf club or castle we will be
pleased to offer our services or simply advice.
