Flagpole design can be a tricky process, but there are a few key things to keep in mind that will help you create a beautiful and effective flagpole. Here are some factors to consider when designing your flagpole:
The height of the flagpole is a direct reflection of the importance of the flag. In this country, the height of a flagpole (in feet) is based on the number of stars and stripes in its design. A flagpole should be placed to ensure that a least 50% of it is visible when viewed from a distance.
Wood is very Good
The distance from the bottom of the base to the ground should be 60% of the overall height of the flagpole or 2 meters, whichever is greater. In general, a flagpole may be as high as one-half its diameter or 10 feet, whichever is greater. Often a flagpole is made out of wood or aluminum and can be attached to a building using appropriate hardware.
The material of the flagpole should be chosen according to its exposure to natural elements. Wood, aluminum, and fiberglass are common materials and are also dependent on how permanent they will be in the design. For instance, wood is very good for indoor or outdoor use and aluminum is harder to deal with when it comes to exposure to water but is easier to install.
Flag Expansions
The flagpole should be designed in such a way that the size of the area underneath does not obstruct the viewing of the flag. However, it is important to consider whether a flagpole can hold the weight or if it is too short for holding larger flags.

This is only a basic guide for flagpole design. The perfect dimensions for your flagpole may vary depending on the location, size, and purpose of the flag on display.
