Nothing more American, hard work, chevy and your dog. Thank you veterans for your service
Great job Andrew. My family tradition is to raise a flagpole on ANY new home that doesn't already have one. Been flying a flag literally all my life. This veteran and his family thank you my friend!
I should have done this sooner, I love looking at it.
Thank you for your service Bill.
Andrew, you're a beast lifting up that flagpole and position and not toppling over! 💪👍🇺🇸
I wish I was as strong as it looked.... Aluminum is light 😬
Looks like a great pole system. Well done. I have been looking for one for my home. Can you publish the kit info?
The link is in the video description for Amazon and their direct website. The website has a full package right now with solar light and flash collar. You'll have to buy the weight tether separately on Amazon or their site, I recommend it. Service first flagpoles
Thanks Andrew, I wonder how many viewers saluted old glory as it was raised it brought me back to my service days, I recommend one video at sunset bringing our colors down for the night 👍
I did us army medical retired
Thank you for your service gentleman.
Thank you to all the services members that sacrifice thier life for my freedom and fir this great country !!!!!! My father was in the military he fought in Vietnam GOD BLESS YOU for this video
Amen!
My pole I ordered last week just came in. it is 25 footer. Can not wait to install it
Love mine
That is truly amazing Andrew. You are right, there are so many people that would like to be standing with you. Those also were some very kind words. I say all this because I have a Son in the Army that has done 3 tours. It’s truly hard to know he is fighting for my freedom and I sit in a Country that is Free.
Thanks Andrew.
Tell him thank you for his service.
She’s a beaut Clark!!!
Shitters full!
Definitely think a larger flag is warranted for the size of the pole. But a flag is a flag. I recommend a flag size of 4x6 or even 5x8.
I've been running a 4x6 for a while now
@@TKCL Nice. How's it look compared to the pole?
God Bless America 🇺🇸!
A beautiful sight to see! 🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸
Absolutely love the flag pole/light Andrew. That pole may be aluminum, but I still would have fallen over while putting it up. lol
Thank you to all of our service men and women!
Hi, Andrew! Love, love,love the flagpole
Me too!
I am all about Mr. Overkill. Looks great- especially next to you signature tree!
You’re most welcome brother!
You and Tiffany are living the American dream and are truly grounded people
Thank you for taking advantage of and having such an appreciation for the great freedoms of this country!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
May God Bless America and all the good things She stands for!
Merry Christmas, Andrew.
Merry Christmas and God bless!
Great job, Andrew!! That is a beautiful addition to your property! God bless you, and Tiffany, and God bless America! ❤
Thank you very much, God bless.
God bless America 🇺🇸 🙏
Great job!! LOL, you made check my hands for blisters after watching you dig that hole!
It's was easy at first, nothing but sand. Then hard clay about 18 inches down 😔
That is so beautiful. Seemed pretty easy for one person to install. At least you had your trusty sidekick assisting you.
That aluminum made it easy to handle.
Wow! Great job, especially doing it alone.
Still can't believe that Ruger is so BIG already!
Me either, he's going to be a horse.
Looks good. I agree that the swivel will be an issue eventually it will just wrap around the pole. But it looks pretty cool and I like the idea of the solar light.
Great video, thank you👍🏼👍🏼
I bought the 25' version and will work on it in a few days.
The website for the company has a video, but it is probably about 1 minute😵😵 Kind of had more questions than before I watched it.
You hit my list of questions pretty much down the line, greatly appreciate your effort.
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks fantastic! Great job
Thank you, we love it.
Very nice flagpole set up Andrew. Sweet new mixer too
Thank you
You are going to have to update your KCL tree logo now to include the flag pole and flag. The flag addition will be a good one. I approve of the location of the flag pole close to "the" tree.
Tiffany agrees with you.
It’s great to see you made a larger foundation. My only comment would be: these service first type over seas thin walled residential poles cannot take much wind to begin with and the pole will bend or snap before pulling over an 18” base. It’s great to see people wanting a flagpole, it’s just sad to see people still falling for these “veteran owned” flagpole companies that just sell over seas made junk to make a profit.
Traditionally a 30’ flagpole would be flown with a 5x8 flag. Unfortunately, these poles can’t support such a size with winds beyond 20 mph.
I’m happy to see you instal a flagpole but I feel like the world is fooled by these vet own companies.
Salute (o7)
"Merica!
Nice job on the flagpole! I have the same 30ft. Sectional Freedom Edition flagpole as you do, but I added some minor adjustments to mine. For one, Service First doesn't offer a revolving truck pulley, so I bought one off of Gettysburg Flag Works. It's 150$, but having the truck rotate reduces the wear and tear on a flag. I also added a yardarm to my pole that Service First does offer. I can't get it any lower past the top section when installing it though, so keep in mind if you want to fly flags bigger than 4x6, because a 5x8 tends to wrap around the yardarm. Hopefully you enjoy your new pole as much as I do!
I Love the new flagpole, great review as always. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Merry Christmas!
God bless America 🇺🇸🦅🗽
The ball at the top of the flagpole is called a truck. On military installations each truck comes with items inside: In the Air Force we had a penny, a grain of wheat and a bullet. Some Marine traditions call for a match and a razor blade along with those other items. If you ever want to read some interesting flag traditions you might research why each of those items is included. The flag pole looks wonderful. God bless America!
Very interesting! God bless
Thanks for the review of this flag pole. Had been looking to get one from them and did after the video. Just got it installed this week. Awesome product
So far mine has done very well in surprise winds. I did upgrade to a 4x6 made in America flag. Looks to be the perfect size.
Looks great 🇺🇸
Great job on the installation, I have a 20 foot flagpole and struggled putting that up. 👍
💪 😎
Thats an awesome flag. Great video. 🤠
Well done brother! It looks great - fine work indeed
Thank you for watching
Great work.
Thank you for watching
Awesome flag pole! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
‘Merica!
That was hilarious. Good stuff ! 😆😆
Andrew that flag and pole looks fantastic. Something I always wanted to do but never have, Good work. ❤️❤️. 🌞🇨🇦
Thank you
Looks great Andrew!
Thanks, we love it.
I have that solar light on my pole and it's pretty bright and has held up pretty well in the weather here in NH.
Great to hear
Thank you! You're a true American and heart & soul southerner...now if we could only get you to be a Alabama fan🤣.
LOL
like the video. did a nice job on the flag pole. now your wife may want flowers around the flag pole. be bless and love have a merry christmas and a happy new year..
Thank you for watching
Nice!👍💞
oooooooh awwwwww purdy!
that looks cool
I love it!
Just ordered the same setup! They offer military discount as well! Nice set up! Was going to put mine closer to the house, but it might be a bit of a lightening rod!
Been wondering about that myself.
That’s amazing Andrew. I am glad all the donations finally came together for you to have that don’t forget if it gets tattered or it hits the ground you need to retire the flag. There are some places like the Elks the VFW in multiple organizations, you can take a flag to and they will retire it lol and if you’d like, I can give you the website to where you can get a US made flag in the United States
I just bought an official tagged American made flag in a larger size. It was twice as much as other flags, but that's important to me.
That "gold ball" as you called it is actually called a Truk. Military tradition says that there are three items that are supposed to be stored inside it. 1. A razor blade, to cut stars off to be used on another flag. 2. A match, to burn the flag to properly dispose of the flag and 3. A bullet for "your last stand" . Great looking flag and pole!
The truck is the top cap that secures to the pole and holds the pulley, the decorative mount on top whether eagle, ball etc itself is the finial. The finial screws into the truck.
8:28 while having the thickest wall is a positive. The real strength comes from the diameter of the tube. Which is why the larger diameters are always at the bottom.
I put an 18' telescopic flagpole on my homestead a few weeks ago. I have the same solar light and it works very well - I think you'll be pleased with it.
I like flying 2 flags on mine - Old Glory on top (of course) and the Gadsden (Don't Tread On Me) underneath. I may switch back and forth between the Gadsden and a POW-MIA flag...
Take care and God Bless - and I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year!
I'm considering flying double myself.
I had a backhoe dig my hole because of the rocky soil here where I live.
I love the concrete mixer. Looks a lot like my HF concrete mixer minus the colors.
I personally think it's better than the Harbor freight one. I looked at both.
Maybe put some heat shrink around the weight so it won't bang and ding up the pole....
Not a bad idea.
Looks great! I hope it doesn't get hit by lighting.
If it does it saves the house and I'll proudly put up another one in its place 😉
5:26 Doggy be like: hey what u doing u forgot to feed me then ur setting up a flag pole?????? whats happening with theese hoomans...
Perfection, yet again... 👍 The collars that swivel around the pole as the wind changes direction don't work that well in conjunction with a raising and lowering rope. If you use the collar, you can use either the weight on the bottom flag (if you put up a second flag under Old Glory) or a second collar to attach the bottom rivet hole. A rope isn't used typically. It wraps around the pole. I've used the rotating collars before and wouldn't go that route again. The "old school" rope and brass swivel snap hooks is what I'd recommend. 🇺🇸☝
Thank you for the information
Let's go, flag pole fund completion, what's the new fund we going to start
Still working on that grapple.
We use Pam cooking spray on our shovels to keep wet snow from sticking to them and I wonder if that would work on wet dirt.
I bet it would.
Merica ❤
👍
👍👍
🙌🏼🇺🇸
Thanks for buying vetern owned.
Yay 😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Merica! 🇺🇸
😭😭😭😭 I'm 2nd
Your 16 seconds late my friend! 2nd place trophy for you. 🏆😂
Still say you don't count cash, lol
@@TKCL 😭
Hey cash did you feel the earthquake
@@jason27swg the one in fortuna no we are too far away from there
You can have to two flags. with 2 clips . my flagpole has 3 flags (USA Flag /POW Flag /Giants football Flag.
Yep, I've been considering flying two. I just bought a bigger American flag. I'll probably go back and forth between two smaller ones and a single big one until I find what I like.
my pole is 30 feet to .usa flag first 4x6.next the clip 1in down . pow flag 3x5 next clip 3foot .
I knew after you said you was going to do it by hand, it's was going to be hard
Not hard, expensive!
@@TKCL I think he was talking about digging the hole by hand, lol
Oh yeah.... I totally read that wrong. 🤦
@@TKCL yep
Looks like a good product. Did they supply any grease or anti size to keep the sections from locking together. Over time the may corode. I see a chicken palace in the bear future and a concrete walk way to the pool.
No grease, time will tell.
always said you'll never know if you overbuild something but you'll know if you underbuilt it
Time will tell.
Plumb heard my dad say it many times
Now fly the sylveonist flag
At10:07 mr donald
Can you please share link where you purchased this flag from. Thanks it looks Fabulous
On Amazon amzn.to/3W0SW7f or their website (usually cheaper).
We put our up earlier this year and had to buy a bigger flag. Since it’s so tall I did t like the look of the standard size one
I just put a bigger flag on yesterday.
@@TKCL Awesome! You’re always on top of things! Can’t wait to see it!
@@TKCL That's great!! The 3x5 🇺🇸 looked good, but just a little small for that height pole. Pole is Awesome!!
🇺🇲🎇👍
Now that it has been awhile how has the flag pole stood up to the winds? I am looking for a nice flag pole.
Zero issues, I even put a bigger 4x6 flag on it. That's the perfect size in my opinion.
Andrew, skip the Eagle on top as if you plan to raise the flag all the way, your flag can get caught on the wings of the eagle and it destroys the flag.
Good point
Any updates on how it’s holding up??? I just ordered it
Zero issues, I upgraded to a true made in America 4x6 flag and it looks perfect.
Thanks for the update I’m putting it in today!
Put some electrical tape around the weight to avoid the banging sound
As weird as it sounds I love that sound. We flew large flag poles at my elementary and high school. That banging sound brings back wonderful memories of the flag.
What is the size of the flag you've got flying? I forgot. Looks outstanding!
3x5, I just ordered a very well made built in America 4x6 flag for the pole.
What is the update on the flag pole ? I just installed mine.. same brand.. how is yours holding up? Does it sway alot? Or lean/flex in the wind? Thank u
Working great, minor sway in the wind. I upgraded to a 4x6 flag.
I live in north Georgia brother. Right now it’s the end of June and it has not rained in three weeks. The ground is very much like concrete.. how tall is that flag? I got the 25ft. If that’s the 25 I think I need a return mine.
We are the same here in Florida except we finally got a decent rain today. It's been crazy dry!
Nice...but no night time shot?... 🙂
I posted one yesterday on our community tab.
@@TKCL Ya I saw that, I think a video of it lit and waving would be cool. (that was just a pic)
What size hole did you end up digging? I know you said you were going bigger than 18" x 18".
I don't remember honestly. Probably 18 wide by 36 deep. It's survived many thunderstorms and a major hurricane.
First!
You got it!
What 🤷🏽♂️..... Let go back to the video tape 📼

What diameter rebar did you use and how deep did you go?
Just some random 5/8s I had laying around, it's not necessary, but I had it. Pieces are just below the top of the concrete.
Just ordered a 20 ft telescopic pole from service first being I’m also a Veteran. Water table is high in my area so I’m gonna go about 30” deep and want to put rebar in (1/2” dia.) from my local store, I’m hoping that will stop it from leaning.
As long as the pole area doesn't flood you should be fine.
Forgive me, but the flag needed to be ironed
Man, you must be one strong mofo. I have this exact 30 feet model from Service First, tried to hoist it manually and couldn't hold on to it, dropping it and crushed my LED light module and gold eagle finial.
Man I hate to hear that, it was an interesting experience hoisting this up solo.
WHY? It's pointless
A flag to remember the sacrifice, and a symbol to remind you of this great nation is not pointless. It's people forgetting where we came from and the ones who has given it all that's going to allow this nation to turn back to tyranny. Why take pictures on your phone, video, why wear a wedding ring, get a tattoo?? It's all to remember for most people.
Outstanding job Sir!,
