Business ProfileforAce Flag Co., Inc

Very pleased with overall quality and function of this flagpole,the aluminum pole is a good heavier gauge with heavy duty clear plastic rotating flag clips that work great! Only negative issue was some minor damage to the flagpole/parts when the box was damaged during shipment, apparently was dropped. The manufacturer should think about packing the contents better, perhaps adding styro-foam pads or blocks. The seller on the other hand, was excellent in promptly responding to this issue and took care of me! Now, for all the inexperienced and “nay-sayers” out there - I successfully installed this flagpole on top of a solid concrete pad (6+ in. thick) as pictured. I almost ordered a “Titan Deck Mount for Telescoping Flagpoles”, but after more research I found a comparable and less expensive “Dock Mount for Telescopic Flagpole” (3 iin. O.D.), thru “Ace Flag & Visual Promotions” out of Depew, N.Y. Their customer service was awesome, very friendly and helpful! I installed the Dock Mount with four “Parawedge” 3/8” x 3-3/4” concrete anchors from **** *****. (Be sure the drill w/masonry drill bit is held as vertically straight as possible while drilling!) Directions call for min. 2 3/8” depth of hole but recommend adding ¼” to that depth, making sure to completely cleaning out holes after drilling, by blowing in them with a baster type squeeze tube, small rubber tube or even a bent straw. I did have to lightly tap the threaded studs left or right after installing them for a better fit of the base plate. I also recommend applying corrosion inhibitor spray to the studs and nuts since they are only galvanized steel and exposed to the elements. I finished off the flagpole project with a "Deluxe Solar Flagpole light" from seller ******, which was easy to install, seems to be of decent quality and very nice. I just wish the sensor would make it come on a little earlier, as it won't light up until it's almost completely dark outside.
