Flag pole

[wmonroe]

Looking for info on where to buy a flag pole and what specs are needed. I want something with 20' of visible height and able to fly a 4'x6' flag but 3'x5' is ok if the price is too high to support a 4'x6'. I've looked a little bit and found a place that sells "commercial" sectional poles but didn't know if there was better places to look. Thanks

I use this place to buy my flags. They also sell poles. FLAGCO.com: US Flags, World Flags, Flagpoles, and more

A friend of mine just bought a heavy duty 20' telescoping flagpole. He got it with an eagle top, Solar powered battery LED light to shine down on the flags, and 2 flags. I think he paid around $500. If that's not out of your price range I can get the info for you.

I made 1 about 10 years ago. 2 inch on the bottom & 1.5 on top. Big fake rifle on top tha swings with the wind.
use a 3x5 flag, good quality, but the wind tears up about 2 a year

Thanks Murphy, I'll check that site out.

George, if you could find out where he bought it that would be great.

What did you use to make it? I've been thinking about making one also but wasn't sure what material to use.

Just plain water pipe. Gun some thin sheet metal, conduit for barrel & some strap for lever. Just stuff I had laying around.

I'll second Telescoping Flagpole HD Heavy Duty - Uncommon USA. Mine has seen 70-80 mph wind and no problems with the pole. The flags don't like that much wind though.

Wife got her mom one of the Harbor Freight telescoping flagpoles many years ago. To my surprise, it has held up very well!
