VINGLI Upgraded 25FT Sectional Aluminum Flagpole, Thick Tube Halyard Flag Pole,Kit Free 27~33mph, with 3'x5' polyester USA American Flag， Golden Ball Top Halyard Rope PVC Sleeve

So I had a previous one (not from this vendor), but similar in aluminum thickness and 25' in height. It lasted for about 2.5 years before bending at the bottom. I thought it actually lasted longer than I anticipated in Southeast Texas weather. I bought this 25' one because it fit the concrete hole I already had and the price was just right. This time I rooted around on youtube and on reviews here about strengthening the pole and decided to try it.So, I slid in two 10 foot sections of 1 1/4 schedule 40 PVC pipe inside the aluminum flag pole. Inside of the PVC, I slid in two 10 foot sections of chain link fence rail (the top horizontal rail). The second section of PVC pipe sits on top of the first one (a connector would not fit). However the male end of the chain link rail is swaged to fit inside the next piece of rail. So, I now have 20 foot of reinforcement with about 2.5 feet in concrete in the PVC sleeve. It actually fit REALLY well, almost like it was designed to go in there. In fact, I had to use some silicone spray to get the aluminum pieces to fully seat tightly.I then drilled through the entire thing and inserted a bolt about every six feet or so. I figured that would unify the entire structure into one more solid pole and keep pieces from sliding apart inside the pole. It does make the pole a bit more heavy to lift up, so have someone at the pivot point to help raise it up and keep it from walking away from you.I plan on replacing all the flag holding items as they are cheap rope and plastic. I do not like that the truck does not rotate with the wind, but hey you get what you pay for. So for about $40 worth of extra parts from the home improvement store, I am in for about a hundred bucks. While it is not a $400-$1500 flagpole, I feel that it is sufficient for my needs.2/26/22 Update - Still going strong!06/16/24 Update - well it and the flag on it technically made it through the 100 mph Houston winds we had last month, the wind was able slightly bend the chain link rail (the innermost core) at the bottom where it was pinned by the concrete pad which had no give. It also bent a bit the section of the Vingli pole at the bottom and the one at the top where the flag was at. No damage to the PVC middle core. Afterwards it had a bit of a lean that was too much for me aesthetically. These winds were the strongest we have had and I couldn't not believe the pole took it and didn't completely collapse. Hopefully, they sell sections, if not I will get another pole and replace the bent chain link rail. Still 5/5 for what I got!

The material appears to be high-quality. It was exactly what I was looking for.

The media could not be loaded. I recived my package very quickly. Very easy to assemble. Great and simple instructions on how exactly to assemble it and what to do for the ground.I started out by digging a 16in(w) by 48in(D) hole.Next I added gravel to the bottom of the holeThen I covered both ends of the sleeve with duck tape and positioned it and then poured in 3 bags of 50lbs concrete then mixing it with water and letting it sit around 24 hours.After that I attached the top piece and the pulley before setting the flag pole in the hole.I then set the pole in the hole and added my flag and then covered the concrete back up with dirt.My honest review is that it’s good for the price. I’m not going to sugar coat stuff.1. It is wobbly at times when the wind does pick up. Not saying anything bad will happen but just so you are aware and to take extra precautions.2. It looks great. It’s a good looking and professional looking flag pole.3. Everything fit together well and nice. The pulley system is great. Works as it should. It’s also extremely efficient and easy to reel down and up. The string is pretty good. The flag is decent! It’s not a bad flag I like to change my flags personally I have quite a few flags from all different kinds of countries like I like to swap out. But if you’re solely using this for American flag use I’d suggest you probably get an embroidered one, but this one is definitely good and does the job. The cleat is pretty heavy duty. It is a little small which it would be better if it was larger to wrap the whole line around it, but it’s OK.4. As of right now it does ok with the wind. Like I said above it is a bit wobbly. It does good but also scares me at times lol. I really think it’s great for the price at the moment.I will continuously update this as much as I can. I will let you all know how it goes.

Looks great in front yard.

Great flag pole for the price. Easy to install. Recommend following instructions for best results. Would have like flag and flag clips to be nicer but for the cost they work fine. Recommend new flag and clips. Clips are plastic and one was broken. Like I said for the cost I didn't expect the best. Over all Great deal for your buck. If looking for a flag pole I highly recommend. Very sturdy, thick poles. Great instructions on install. Im 6ft tall to give you an idea how tall a 20ft pole looks.

Exactly what I wanted. Arrived a day early. Would definitely recommend this seller.

Purchased the 25 foot flag pole and put it up and within 2 weeks the pole bent where the the first and second pole join during a rain with very little wind and damaged the solar light on top of pole. Wasn't very happy with product at the time, but wrote the company and told them what had happened and they replaced the flagpole with a new one even though I only requested the one peice that broke.....

I have owned several of these multi piece sectional flag poles over the last twenty years. All have been used at my waterfront home on the gulf Coast. This is first of this brand. This pole looks nice and was easy to assemble. In moderate winds of 15 mph it bends. Last night we had a thunderstorm. My wind gauge indicated a gust to 31mph. Steady winds for five minutes of 20 mph. The pole failed and broke as you can see in the pictures.

We are very happy with our new flag pole. We have our Canadian flag flying high. We also like the fact that the halyard allows us to lower the flag to half mast or lower it completely to replace when needed. It is well made and was very easy to assemble.
