Flagpole Halyard Rope Size Guide
Selecting the correct halyard diameter ensures smooth operation and prevents excessive wear on your truck pulley or cleat. Use this quick guide to determine the ideal rope size for your flagpole height:
- Up to 20' — Use 1/4" diameter halyard rope
- 20' to 50' — Use 5/16" diameter halyard rope
- Over 50' — Use 3/8" diameter halyard rope
Your flagpole truck or pulley system may have limitations on the maximum rope diameter it can accept. If you’re unsure which size fits your flagpole, our specialists can help.
Choosing the Right Halyard Rope
Selecting the correct flagpole halyard depends on your pole height, weather exposure, and security needs:
- Use nylon halyard for standard residential poles under 35 ft.
- Choose polyester halyard for areas with high UV exposure or frequent wind.
- Opt for wire-core halyard to prevent vandalism and improve longevity on commercial poles.

Flagpole Halyard FAQs
The halyard is the rope or cable used to raise and lower your flag on a flagpole. It runs through a truck pulley at the top and ties off to a cleat at the base.
Feed a new rope through the pulley (truck) at the top of your flagpole using a guide line. Tie secure knots and attach snap hooks before raising the flag.
Nylon is flexible and affordable, polyester offers better weather resistance, and wire-core halyard adds a stainless steel cable for security and strength.
Measure twice the height of your flagpole to determine halyard length (for example, a 25 ft pole needs about 50 ft of rope).
