Good job and info Steve. Long time ago I glued a washer to the bottom outside corner of a flag, didn't help in the wind. I think your thinking mind never rests! They all look good there Steve. I at first thought it was a Ukraine Flag, but now I think it is Ireland.
Correct , The Repubic Of Ireland. Thanks Papa.
Looks like a very solid idea Steve! That is the Australia 🇦🇺 flag Buddy!
Hi Doug
Some flags are not so easy to identify.
Looks like you have a great fix for the flag problem . That looks like an Aussie flag Steve. Cheers Buddy
Hi Lloyd
American and Canadian flags are easy for most but you put the UK , Australian and New Zealand flags up and it becomes a challenge 😉
Thanks Steve, I enjoyed the video and this is a great idea that I’m going to try as well up at my camp. Aussie brothers down under would be happy to know you’re flying their flag too. Cheers mate!
Hi Ed
I like to fly many flags from great countries at my camp . Cheers 👍
I think you got it going now! Just the weight of the PVC should help as well. I'm not going to guess other than it is part of the Commonwealth.
Thanks Steve✌
Correct 👍 Thanks bud .....
Good fix. Solving all your problems one idea at a time 😁 I had to cheat and look in the comments to see what the last flag was 😜
Hi Dave
Our flags are easy but some are so simular it's tough .
Cool idea on the flag . I need to replace my flag pole . It is one of the telescoping ones and every time the wind blows the thing partly colipases
Hi Terry
Something different 👍
Good Morning Sir, OUTSTANDING Idea Sir, Australian National Flag it is Cheers 🍻🍻👍👍
Hi Dave
Flags are many but they can be a challenge to figure out :)
How's she goin'? Nice hack on the flag 'stiffener' Steve!! That should sure help the flags fly better and keep them from wrapping around the pole!! I think that is the Australian flag!!! LOL Take 'er easy!!!
Hi Mike
Yep 👍 Flags of countries are tough.
I use NQ 6FT (1.8M) Flag Pole for Garden with Flag Pole Holder, Stainless Steel Flag Pole Kit for House, Flag Pole for Outdoor, Wall Mounted Flag Pole (Black)
Copy and past it they work good
Your now a flag specialist. Looks very good......CHEERS forgot....Australia I think?
Correct Gator , flags sure do like to wrap around the pole constantly.
Great idea, keep us posted on its effectiveness!
Thanks , will do 👍
@@SteveRobReviews I fly my American and United States Marine Corps flags on holidays. Yes, there is always an issue with the flags getting twisted around the flagpole. I love your idea and video on how to correct this! Thank you!
Good idea !
Thanks William.
Smart idea
Hi Bruce
Thanks 👍
Nice idea steve, down under dundee ishappy
Hi Jason
Yes absolutely , thanks.
Good idea with the rotation but zip ties can deteriorate rapidly from the sun and weather and will become brittle and break. I would recommend some type of marine grade stainless steel wire or clamp (especially if you're near an ocean). You don't want those good looking flags with their free flowing, no twist design to succumb to a weak zip tie.
Great point! I have gone two years on the ties and so far they outlast the flags as I buy new flags every 2 years. The ties are UV rated so they seem to be great for this and easy to change out. Cheers
@@SteveRobReviews I'm guessing tail whip beats them up pretty good in that location. Every two years is pretty often and you buy the high dollar, fancy, UV resistant zip ties 😎. I wish everybody showed as much respect to their flags as you do yours.
The Canada flag is an obvious choice. But what is the story behind you choosing to fly the Irish, U.S. and Australian flags? Some Irish blood?
That looks like a good solution. Let us know how it works! I'm curious tho, if the zip ties will hold up. Seems like the rigid pvc will put more strain on them than when they were just holding fabric.
Hi Sylvan
The flags I fly at my camp I've flown are Canada , USA , Ireland, UK , New Zealand and Australia so far, but I plan on adding more countries in time. The flags I fly represent countries that all have simular beliefs and support each other thru thick and thin.
I like this

The flag of our American & Canadian Brothers In Australia. We are all joined together in a battle to take back our country's.
Now... On my flags, I go INSIDE the top & bottom seams with a stiff piece of #14 copper wire, to stiffen the flag enough to stop what is called TAIL WHIP. As tail whip can happen even with a FREE ROTATING flag mount / attachment like you have.
I have also used 1/8" nylon tubing, as used on a vehicle oil pressure guage. When using a copper wire, strip a 1/4" of the insulation off the end, fold it on itself to make it easy to slide into the seam. Stop a couple inches short and cut and fold the other end of the wire to keep it from poking thru the flag material after a while. If my flag is 5ft. I make my wire an inch or so shorter. If you do have to cut a slit in the seam to get the wire installed. Coat the nylon with some clear fingernail polish to keep the 1/4" or so slit from fraying. It works great for me, my flags last longer, don't beat themselves to death in high winds, and stops the tail whip issue.
Thanks Bill great suggestions 👍
Ok my guess for the flag was New Zealand but after googling I know I was close. Take care Steve.
It's our proud Aussie flag
@@ProudMary53 👍
Hi Pat
Your correct real close by a couple of hundred miles :)
👍👍
Thanks Paivi 👍
That’s an 🇦🇺 Australian flag, Nice job 👍 maybe just test with a leaf blower a little and what’s up with your other channel ? that one made my blood boil At times. The fishing has been better on the American side but phone and internet both suck. Have a good one Steve.😊
Hi Joe
