The standard offering is a direct burial composite Tuff-Pole with a heavy-duty aluminum hinge fitting bonded into the pole at ground level. The poles tilt on a stainless steel hinge pin and the hinge bolt's head is recessed into the casting for vandal resistance.
Designed with security in mind, a captive 0.5-inch pentagon-head stainless steel bolt clamps the pole in its upright position, and a galvanized padlock tab lets you further secure the installation against tampering. A base cover is supplied as standard, for a clean, sleek look.
