Question 1

Are there any tabs for 1/2 staff?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your interest in Telepole.  Yes, you may fly the flag at half staff.  You would move your American flag down to the second flag position on the flagpole.

Question 2

Is this 20' total length above ground after installation or do you loose a few feet for install.

Accepted Answer

Mine is actually a 25 foot pole....but....it is 25 feet above ground.  Nothing is lost in the installation....I think I'm 24 inches in the ground.  I'd guess the 20 foot pole is 20 feet above ground.  Hope that helps.   Tom

Question 3

What type of locking system do you use

Accepted Answer

I do not use any type of locking system.  Have had no problems.

Question 4

What should I put inside the ground sleeve to keep the pole from moving? Sand or shims? Shims would only secure the top of ground sleeve?

Accepted Answer

Hi,
You  need  to  put  NOTHING  inside the ground  sleeve for  two reasons:
A. At the bottom end of all flagpoles we cut two notches on a straigth line  that fits over the 1/4" bolt that goes through the lower part of the Ground sleeve ,thus, eliminating any lateral motion.
B.At the top most part of the cutsom made  aluminum ground sleeve (specially made for the apropriate OD of the largest section that goes into the ground) and  one inch from the top, we cut good  size threads that a stainless  steel set screw will be driven into the  flagpole and  it will serve two factions, namely, lock the flagpole and  slow down any potential theft, as  well as  prvent the inside tubing to be  lowered  down for both theft prvention of the flags and/or carry away the entire pole -at  its  full extension of 20, 25 or 30 feet. 
Please, do not hesitate  to contact us for any/all additional information.
Regards,
