Inspect & Replace the Halyard as Needed:

• Regularly check your halyard rope for fraying or visible wear. Replacing it early prevents flag-lowering issues and helps avoid costly repairs. A healthy halyard ensures smooth flag raising and lowering in all weather.

Maintain Snaps and Snap Covers:

• Examine the snaps and covers to ensure they’re in good condition.
• Replace any worn parts to protect the flagpole’s surface finish.
• Wrap the halyard tightly when not in use to prevent snapping or clanging against the pole, which can damage the outer coating over time.

• Clean your pole using a mild water and bleach solution to remove dirt, dust, and mildew.
  
• Avoid using pressure washers, as high-pressure water can damage the protective coating.
• For stubborn marks or grass stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or a Magic Eraser-style pad.
  
• You can polish the pole using a fiberglass-safe, non-abrasive compound to restore shine and surface clarity.
• Do not use sandpaper or harsh abrasives, as they may damage the surface permanently.
