Frunke Flag Counterweight 1.5 lb (24 oz) Heavy-Duty Steel with Plastisol Coating — Keeps Flags Straight in Wind

Frunke Flag Weights are 1.5 lb (24 oz) heavy-duty counterweights that attach to the bottom grommet of an internally halyarded flag to keep the flag straight and taut in windy conditions.

When you display a flag on an internal-halyard pole, a compact, well-balanced counterweight prevents twisting, tangling and riding up the pole. The Frunke 1.5 lb counterweight is made from rolled steel with welded eyebolts and a protective plastisol coating, engineered to resist corrosion and reduce noise as it moves along the pole. It works with a wide range of standard flag sizes and pole diameters to improve presentation and extend the life of the fabric.

How does this counterweight keep a flag from wrapping around the pole?

The Frunke counterweight maintains downward tension on the flag’s lower grommet so the fabric stays aligned along the pole instead of twisting. Its mass provides steady pull even in gusts, while the smooth coating prevents scraping. Properly installed, it reduces the flag’s tendency to climb the pole or bunch at the top.

• 1.5 lb (24 oz) steel core gives consistent downward force
• Welded eyebolts for secure attachment to halyard lines
• Plastisol coating minimizes friction and noise
• Compatible with typical flag sizes (2'x3' up to 5'x8')

Will this fit my flagpole and which flag sizes are supported?

Frunke designed this weight to be compatible with most internal-halyard poles that accept counterweights. It fits poles with diameters commonly used for residential and commercial displays and works well with small to large standard flags. Check your pole’s halyard and grommet spacing to ensure a straightforward connection.

• Fits pole diameters roughly 2" to 5" (typical internal halyard systems)
• Suitable for 2'x3', 3'x5', 4'x6', and 5'x8' flags
• Simple hook-up to bottom flag grommet with the provided eyebolt
• Also helpful for institutional and commercial flag setups

What materials and construction features make it durable?

This counterweight uses rolled steel as its core material with eyebolts welded into place, creating a robust, low-maintenance assembly. A plastisol coating covers the steel to guard against rust, chips and fading while also softening contact with the pole. The result is a long-lasting accessory that remains quiet and effective through changing weather.

• Rolled steel core for reliable weight and strength
• Welded eyebolts to prevent loosening or failure
• Plastisol coating resists corrosion and UV fading
• Engineered to operate quietly against the pole surface

How easy is it to install and maintain this counterweight?

Installation is straightforward: attach the eyebolt to the flag’s lower grommet and feed the halyard so the weight hangs in the pole’s internal track. No special tools are required for typical setups, and routine checks for weld integrity or coating wear are all that’s needed to keep it working. Replacement is quick if you switch flags or poles.

• Quick attach to bottom flag grommet using eyebolt
• No specialized tools for standard internal-halyard poles
• Minimal maintenance — inspect coat and welds seasonally
• Easy to swap between flags or poles as needed

Who is this for: The Frunke 1.5 lb flag counterweight is ideal for homeowners, property managers, institutions, and municipalities using internal-halyard flagpoles who want a simple, reliable way to keep flags straight and prevent fabric damage. It’s particularly useful where wind or frequent flag movement causes twisting, or where a low-maintenance, weather-resistant accessory is preferred.
