Apollo Series,
Severe-Weather Fiberglass Flagpoles

Tennessee averages 29 tornadoes a year. Middle Tennessee sees the highest concentration in the state. And every spring and fall, the same storms that test your roof, your trees, and your nerves also test whatever flagpole is standing in your yard or at your building’s entrance. Most aluminum poles aren’t built for that. The Apollo Series from Zeus™ is.

Rated 180 mph unflagged — the highest wind rating in the Zeus™ lineup. Ground-set installation in heights from 25′ to 60′. Hand-crafted fiberglass that flexes under load instead of bending permanently like metal. When the storm passes, your flag is still flying and your pole is still straight.

What Happens to Aluminum in Severe Weather

When high winds hit an aluminum flagpole:

  • Metal fatigues, bends, and stays bent – permanent deformation after a single major storm
  • Corrosion accelerates in storm-damaged areas where the finish is compromised
  • Replacement means new concrete work, new hardware, and new installation costs
  • Insurance may not cover a pole that wasn’t rated for your area’s actual wind conditions

What wind speed is the Apollo rated for?
180 mph unflagged – the highest rating Zeus™ offers. This exceeds EF5 tornado wind thresholds and meets the demands of coastal hurricane zones, exposed hilltop properties, and severe weather corridors across Tennessee and Kentucky.
What heights are available?
The Apollo is available in heights from 25′ to 60′. All Apollo models use ground-set installation only, which provides the deepest foundation and strongest anchoring for high-wind conditions.
Why ground-set only?
Ground-set installation buries the sleeve directly into a concrete foundation. At 180 mph wind loads, this is the only mounting method that provides adequate resistance. Anchor base and hinge base configurations aren’t rated for these forces.
Is the Apollo overkill for a residential property?
Depends on your location and exposure. If your property sits on a ridge, hilltop, or open area with no wind breaks – or if you’re in a county with high tornado frequency – the Apollo is the right call. We assess your specific site during consultation and only recommend this series when conditions call for it.
Does fiberglass actually perform better than aluminum in storms?
Fiberglass has a higher strength-to-weight ratio through its layered construction. It flexes under wind load and returns to true, where aluminum bends and stays bent. After a severe weather event, a fiberglass pole is still standing straight. An aluminum pole often isn’t.

"CT Flagpoles providing a beautiful Zeus Flagpole and wonderful installation… I never met a man more passionate about his craft than Henry! He drilled and jackhammered ledge to put the pole exactly where we wanted it. He is amazing!"

"The two black 25' Flagpoles recently installed in West Chester look so 1000% better than the sectional poles they were using. They are planning on having a flag dedication soon."

– Katie B., Colonial Flag, West Chester, PA

"Steps from the water on Winnipesaukee. Pretty sweet! The customer really likes it."

"I wanted to share a great experience we had with Matt and his team. We had 10 large trees close to home . We were concerned they could damage our home with the winds we get here. Matt and his team had climbers clim the trees to cut the large high limbs to ensure there was no damage to our home. Everything was planned and managed to perfection. I highly recomend Matt and his team to any one looking for Land Clearing, Excavation, Driveways, trenching, brush Mowing and Drainage"

"Wolcott Outdoor Services did a great job on our project. Communication was outstanding. They went above and beyond to make sure to have the right equipment for the job, and followed through with a great result despite some challenges with the project. We'll be using them again and highly recommend them."
