Flying your colors (Flag Poles)

Use to put up the flag pole but now just put up two small flags on each side of the lighted lamp post... I had One American and One VIrginia but have lost my VA flag so now just have two american flags...

Here is what I use.

Lots of people use this system.

One of the best on the market for flag poles and mounts is Poles And Holders they are a family owned, father and daughter company.

They have been in business for more than 16 years making all their mounts in house, and have great customer service, fast shipping, and a very good warranty, if there is any problems just bring it by or call Corky, the owner, he will make it right.

Here in the west, on our windy beaches and deserts, you will see mostly their products. Their price is right for a quality, long lasting and durable flag pole and Mounts I use the Folding Hitch Mount

In more than 10 years of use I have had no problems with my 22 Ft pole and mine has withstood 40 mph winds.

X's 2 - Works very well. I usually fly a service branch flag, and have made many friends with other veterans that stop by to chat (and sip a little bit)

I just place base on ground, place a block of wood on it and then nose jack. Base fits in front storage and pole collapses to travel inside camper. Not sure how it can work w/ma FW.

The flagpole kits are probably really nice, but I didn't want to spend $100 or more to have one, so I solved the flagpole issue by making my own for less than $25.00.
Go to your favorite big box store and buy a 10' piece of 1-1/4" PVC and a 10' piece of 1" PVC. The 1" pipe will slide inside the 1-1/4" pipe so all you have to do is drill a couple of holes so you can put a bolt through to hold the extended position. I drilled a couple of holes near the top of the 1" pipe and inserted a couple of eye bolts to clip the flag to. I use carabiner clips to secure the flag to the eye bolts.
I hope this helps!

X2 on Poles and Holders Mine takes a beating. I never take it down regardless of weather. On my second one the first was about 10 years old when it finally broke and the new one is going on 5 years with no issues.

I made my own flagpole mount with white pvc about 24" long (2" pvc as I recall) and glued a cap to the bottom (drilled a couple small holes for water drainage) and clamped it to the ladder with stainless steel hose clamps. Works great, just drop the flag pole in the pvc holder.

I forgot to mention that I just use bungie cords to attach the flag pole to my ladder. The bottom of the flag pole just sits on the rear bumper.

you should see some of the flagpoles at NASCAR races....
