These poles are built tough and won't rust or corrode - even after years in the elements. Furthermore, extendable flag poles offer great value for money. In addition, once your telescoping flagpole is installed don't forget about its upkeep! You should check on it regularly for rusting or corrosion due to weather conditions, particularly after heavy storms or bouts of windy weather. Don't forget to inspect the bottom section too! It's important that this part stays firmly planted in its position so you don't end up with a wobbly pole over time. Make sure there's enough clearance around the pole itself so that it won't get damaged by anything during windy days or storms.
