Page Title: Flagpole Halyard
Solid braid polyester flagpole halyard. Halyard is the rope in a flagpole. It is not a "lanyard". Solid braid polyester is what we've used for flagpoles since the
early 80's and we're been really happy with it. I have been pleased with its quality
and ruggedness.
Flagpole Halyard (A fancy way of saying "flagpole rope") But this is not common cotton clothesline rope. Ours is solid braid polyester. Best for flagpoles because it is tough, rugged against the sun's ultraviolet rays, and it resists stretching.

Wire core halyard is tougher to tie knots in than
regular rope. Some guys say they have no problem just knotting it. I
don't see how. Here is how I have used it to rig a flagpole. For
good measure I used two wire nuts but I have shown only one wire nut to make
the photo more clear. Note I've melted the ends to seal the fibers. |

How much halyard do I need? Typically get twice the above ground length of your flagpole. If your cleat is mounted at the typical eye level, that will give you enough extra for making knots and wrapping the halyard off around the cleat. This halyard is great for a thousand and one uses around the home. So if you get a little extra, you'll find a use for it some day.
Helpful hint: If you need to cut the halyard, seal the end by melting it with a match. That will seal the fibers so they do not unravel.

How to
spot worn out halyard
While you are at it, each time you
change your flag, INSPECT YOUR HALYARD! This task should be as automatic as
changing the batteries in your smoke detector each year when you set the clocks
back.
It you see the halyard showing signs of wear, you
are playing Russian roulette. As long as the old worn halyard is still in your
pole, you can use it to pull a new halyard up through the pulley. If you let it go
too long and it breaks.. well, call your local bucket truck guy and ask him how
much he charges per hour.
