Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Received this Alliance flag pole kit in an 8' long box, which was a little awkward but not excessively so since it only weighs about 30 pounds. The pole is in 3 sections and everything fit together nicely. The workmanship and fit and finish are very good. The only thing that seemed a little cheesy was the flash collar; it's a bit thin and flimsy but since all it does is lay on the ground around the base of the pole, that's okay.
The instructions say to join the 3 sections before installing. It's easier to install the bottom section into the ground/sleeve first (ensuring it is level), install the collar, then attach the ball finial and join the two top sections, and last, install the two sections to the bottom section.
Only had two minor gripes:
1) The upper mounting screw for the cleat is almost impossible to install since it has to go through two layers of fiberglass and binds up so it is quite possible to break the screw. Recommend replacing it with the next screw diameter size smaller.
2) The instructions say to use wooden shims between the ground sleeve and pole. Bad idea. This will inadequately restrain the pole and it will loosen in the sleeve rapidly. Use a level to ensure the pole is straight and slowly add dry sand to "shim" the pole; this is far more effective.
