Poles can be made with different tapers and shapes including cone taper and venetian entasis taper. The rate of taper can vary from gentle to pronounced giving a variety of effects. Pointed spires and masts can be achieved using strong tapers.

Allegheny Landing

Baartol Company, working with it's pattern makers, was able to accomplish the design requirements of the special flagpole base designed by Jackson Seay Associates. The cast aluminum base was fabricated from 15 different castings with 223 different diameters and radii. The completed components were stacked to create the final base assembly which is almost 5 feet high and weighs more than the flagpole itself.

Hermes of Paris

Thorn Gibson Architects desired multiple outrigger poles from a single base. The typical outrigger installation has a single pole extending from the base and multiple pole designs are usually accomplished by adding additional poles and bases.

To implement the architects design, Baartol Company designed a custom base to allow mounting three poles from a single base in a very dramatic installation.
