Baartol was founded in 1931 by Ernest Walker in Toledo Ohio. From the early years of flagpoles fabricated from diminishing sections of steel pipe to the advent of tapered steel poles in the 1930's to the development of tapered aluminum poles in the 1950's, Baartol has been at the forefront of flagpole development. We have the knowledge and experience to guide you to the best products for your intended usage.

Baartol was involved in the early work done on the ANSI/NAAMM guide specification for design of metal flagpoles (FP-1004-97) that set a national standard for the safe design of flagpoles. A knowledge of the loads that will be imposed on the flagpole due to geographic location, mounting, and location of mounting above grade is critical to proper design.

Put our Knowledge and Experience to work for you on your next flagpole project.
