Homesteader Sectional Flagpole Set 10–25 ft | Flags Unlimited
Details
Product description
The Homesteader is Flags Unlimited’s affordable sectional aluminum flagpole for homes, homesteads, and first-time in-ground installs. It ships in pieces by parcel (no freight truck), swedges together into a smooth shaft, and looks finished once it’s in the ground.
Sold by a veteran-owned small business. A practical fit for any yard across the US, HOAs that cap height around 20–25 ft, and anyone who wants a real ground-set pole without one-piece shipping cost.
Exposed heights: 10 ft · 15 ft · 20 ft · 25 ft
Silver anodized seamless aluminum tubing. Sections lock together with no visible joints after assembly.
Flag is not included. Pair the pole with a U.S. flag. Want pole + 3×5 flag in one box? That’s the 20' Homesteader All-In-One Package.
Suggested flag size
| Pole height | Recommended flag | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 10 ft | 2×3 or 3×5 | Small yards, closer viewing |
| 15 ft | 3×5 | Single-story lots |
| 20 ft | 3×5 (or 4×6 in milder wind) | Most popular home size |
| 25 ft | 4×6 | Larger lots; stay inside the pole’s rating |
Rule of thumb: flag length about 1/4 to 1/3 of pole height. Full charts: Flagpole Size Guide. On open Kent County lots or near Lake Michigan, use the smaller flag.
Why choose Homesteader
- Budget alternative to one-piece freight poles like Tried & True
- Ships by parcel — easier for DIY homeowners
- All-aluminum — resists rust and Midwest weather better than steel
- Complete install kit — ground sleeve and fittings included (flag sold separately)
- Easy to raise, lower, and service after a storm
One-piece poles last longer with fewer joints. Homesteader wins on price, shipping, and first install. Compare both in residential flagpoles.
Standard fittings included
- 2 nylon flag snaps
- Gold anodized aluminum ball ornament — 3" on 10/15/20 ft; 4" on 25 ft and heavy-duty variants
- Cast aluminum truck with pulley
- Solid braided polypropylene halyard
- Rope cleat with mounting screws — cast nylon on 10/15/20 ft; cast aluminum on 25 ft
- Decorative display/storage box
- Heavy-duty ground sleeve
Add-ons that finish the job
Not in the box:
- Matching 3×5 or 4×6 U.S. flag
- Michigan or other state flag
- POW/MIA or military flag
- Flash collar to hide the concrete
- Flagpole lighting if the flag flies at night
- Spare halyard and snaps

FAQ
Does the Homesteader include a flag?
No. Add a U.S. flag, or buy the 20' All-In-One that includes a 3×5.
Homesteader vs Tried & True?
Homesteader = sectional, parcel shipping, lower cost. Tried & True = one-piece shaft, longer-term residential pole. Many customers start with a 20' Homesteader.
What size for a typical Grand Rapids yard?
20 ft pole + 3×5 flag is the usual match.
Can I fly two flags?
Only if the height and wind rating support it. Size the lower flag down (state or POW/MIA).
