Made a removable Flag Pole holder today
Had some time today, so i made this mount... it really only holds the pole straight, the bottom sits in a piece of tube welded to a 1/4" plate x 12inch square on the ground

I agree with some way to anchor to the ground...maybe drill holes in corner of plate and drive 4 stakes into the ground otherwise any wind will cause your base to slide around and result in breaking your nice upper stabilizer you built. Otherwise nice job!
Thanks , I carry 2 @ 5 gallon buckets that I can use either sand, or water to fill and set on the base.. That should be enough to hold I think ?
I will find out Memorial Day.
I think that would be enough. It's not the force of the wind that will be the issue. It will be the force combined with the vibration caused by the flag waving.
Stakes would be a good idea if you are on soft ground, but I'm guessing you won't be. You could also put some concrete in that bucket with a larger pipe sleeve in the center. But then you have to haul that. Easier to just get some water or sand.
