Abstract: An improved flagpole construction is disclosed. The device includes a cap that passes the halyard through two apertures to obviate the need for a pulley or like apparatus. The device is lightweight, strong, and is easy to assemble. A plurality of hollow PVC tubing lengths make up the pole portion of the device. These have decreasing inner diameters, the diameters decreasing in amounts proximate the thickness of the tubing walls such that they fit telescopically within one another and they are connected by pipe reducing fittings, also preferably constructed of PVC material, to provide for a weather tight fit. The telescopic construction provides for strength as up to half of the length of each of the tubing lengths is nested within the one preceding it. The various tube lengths are secured to each other by bores extending through the various telescoped pairs, with a bolt or like object fastened therein.
