Everything But The Weed

America’s Tallest Flagpole is 200 feet tall, and located in Dorris City Park in Texas. Everything is huge in Texas! It was the local Lions Club challenge to instill pride and community volunteerism. On particular occasions they fly 60 feet by one hundred twenty ft Nylon American flags.

To even the least technically minded individual it somewhat is smart that very tall flagpoles require a extra complex support structure than small 10 ft residential flagpoles. Typically an aluminum flagpole will not meet the stress requirements on account of wind loads, and therefore a “flag tower” should be built.

Some years in the past the North Koreans constructed such a tower within the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in North Korea. This flagpole reached a height of 525 ft and has flown a  North Korean flag weighing 300 kilos.

Throughout a battle for the sky between the Koreas, the South Koreans initially added 330 feet to their flagpole flying a 330 pound flag, thus “teasing” the North Koreans. The North Koreans were fast to reply by countering this move by constructing a flag tower that just about reaches into space.

Interestingly, the 600 lbs (dry-weight) heavy North Korean flag is immediately taken down throughout rains, as the burden of the flag will increase dramatically, thus growing momentum (because the flags whips around at the top of the flag tower), thus growing the stress on the flag tower significantly.

Nevertheless, the claim made by reportedly the tallest tallest flagpole in the world situated in Kijong-dong has not been accepted (especially by rivals) unanimously. Taking a look at flagpoles particularly, the tallest flagpole on the earth is the Ashgabat flagpole in Turkmenistan.

The Ashgabat pole reaches up to about 436 ft in height and is king over the formerly record holding Aqaba flagpole in Jordan, which is 433 feet in height. Due to its location, the Aqaba flagpole might be seen from neighboring countries.

Doubt as regards to which flagpole shall be thought-about the tallest flagpole on the planet will fade away as 530+ ft flagpole in Azerbaijan is under construction. The Country Flag Sq. is near reaching its last height and status of being the tallest flagpole on the earth very soon. What’s next in the world of flagpoles?
