Beaded Retaining Rings

A beaded retainer ring—sometimes called a flagpole cable retainer ring—attaches to the bottom grommet of the flag and loops around the flagpole, keeping the flag close to the pole even in strong winds. The beads reduce friction, allowing smooth flag movement without tangling or wear.

• Stability: Prevents flags from wrapping or flapping excessively.
• Protection: Minimizes wear on the flag and pole surface.
• Durability: Made from UV-resistant materials and corrosion-resistant metals.
• Compatibility: Works with both rope halyard and internal cable systems.

Our flagpole beaded retainer rings are manufactured in two main styles:

• Rope & Bead Assemblies: Made from braided polyester rope with UV-stabilized beads, ideal for external halyard systems.
• Stainless Steel Cable & Bead Assemblies: Built for internal halyard flagpoles where maximum strength and corrosion resistance are required.

Each retainer ring is crimped and fitted with thimbles on both ends for connection. For proper installation, secure the ring with a stainless steel quick link to the bottom grommet or counterweight.

Need help choosing the right style? Our flagpole specialists can recommend the perfect flagpole beaded retainer cable or rope ring kit for your setup.

1. Attach one end of the beaded retainer ring to the flag’s lower grommet using a stainless steel quick link.
2. Wrap the ring around the flagpole so it hangs naturally.
3. Connect the other end of the ring back to the same grommet or counterweight assembly.
4. Ensure beads can move freely around the pole for smooth operation.

This setup ensures your flag remains close to the pole while allowing it to move freely in the wind.

• Commercial Flagpoles: Keeps large flags secure during high winds.
• Government & Municipal Buildings: Ensures reliable operation for daily flag changes.
• Schools & Universities: Protects flags from tangling and reduces maintenance.
• Corporate Campuses: Maintains a professional appearance with stable flag presentation.

Pro Tip: For maximum lifespan, periodically inspect the beaded ring for fraying or corrosion. Replace when beads become brittle or the wire shows rust. A well-maintained retainer ring helps prevent flag tearing and prolongs fabric life.
