Cleat A fitting used to secure the Halyard to the flagpole and keep it in place once the flag is hoisted.
Finial A cap fitted at the very top of the flagpole, usually in the shape of an onion or mushroom. It is usually white or gold.
Ground Sleeve This is a sleeve which a standard flagpole slots into. Simple but highly effective and secure and can be used in the earth or in concrete.
Guylines Cables or ropes used to restrain and secure a flag, preventing it from falling over.
Halyard The rope used to hoist the flag up the flagpole. These can either be external (visible) or internal (more secure).
Hinged Base Used with a pole made in one part and allows for easy installation and maintenance.
Rope & Toggle A short length of rope attached to the headband on the left side of the flag and held in place at the top by a wooden toggle – supplied with all flags intended for flying in the conventional way.
Rotating Arm Used typically for portrait orientation. It is a light metal arm at the top of the flagpole which holds the flag out even when there is no wind.
Weighted Collar A device which keeps the flag under tension, especially when used in conjunction with a Rotating Arm or internal halyard flagpole
