Who care what people say or comment that are negative, YOUR HAPPY, PLUS YOU ARE FLYING THE WORLDS MOST BEAUTIFUL FLAG OUT THERE AND SHES A BEAUT. SO GOD BLESS YOU, THIS COUNTRY AND THAT GORGEOUS FLAG. NICE JOB AND THUMBS UP.
Worlds most beautiful flag? Seriously? Dude, I get nationalism and more power to you, it's a great flag and it represents your nation in an awesome way, but... Look, clearly, it has no dragon. Flag of Bhutan has a fucking DRAGON on it. Can't beat that.
Good video! I've been planning on putting in a flag pole myself, and this has given me some great tips. That "simple 2" bolt" is known as a carriage bolt.
Nice job. You thought of everything. I have several flag projects with different needs. I will keep these ideas in mind. I have experienced the tear factor, or the flag catching on a fence too close by. I have another that is huge, and I want to have it relocated to the front of a historical building which is more bureaucratic in nature. Excellent work.
You did a great job here. I made made mine almost the same way. I used the fence loop caps to attach the pulley though. I also made mine 20' so I could lower the flag to half staff for Memorial and Veterans Day or when necessary. Great job!
Great, simple idea! May I make a suggestion? I would try locate some type of rubber end caps for the bolts and fence clasp. It might help with prevent flag tears in the future. May want to think about adding a ground cable/rod at base. But over all your idea is simple and easy to follow along. Great idea! Enjoyed!
Just ordered a new flag and will do the same but, I cut down a 30 foot DF Tree may but it on a Swivel Base to tip the pole over if needed. I will use most of the Hardware you did. Nice info. Thank you.
I made my own using a piece of inch and a quarter galvanized steel pipe and set it inside of a 4 foot fence posts it was 20 feet high. At the top you don’t need to use a pulley. Just put a large I I BOLT Threw the pole near the top. Didn’t put your cleat about 5 feet from the ground. Then you can use I’d recommend quarter inch or 5/16 Nylon braided marine grade rope not the plastic stuff but the white stuff. You can tie the rope into the big loop with a couple of feet extra to Tyrone the cleat or you can leave both ends loose I didn’t have to tie off both ends. With a poly the rope is liable to come off track and get stuck, and the pulley will eventually rust in the barons, and the eyebolts serves the same purpose with a cleaner look
very nice video very helpful but I was wondering if I wanted to make one taller how would you attach another piece do they make couplers of some sort or would you have to weld it thanks
hobertjr I have seen a coupler for it and was thinking the same thing, but I'm not sure if it would keep it straight, it might cause a lean in it. I think I'm going to weld two of them together next spring for a taller flagpole.
David Quinlan I went to Home Depot and got the sleeve that joins the two together and had them cut the additional length down into half and then used the sleeve to join them. it worked perfect.
So with the flagpole rope you want to put the knot in the center of the American flag that will help with the flag getting higher on the pole and use a fisherman’s night and you actually do not tie the hooks on the rope there is a video on how to attach step hugs to the rope and you do it the same for the top and bottom one and then you have a nice clean look
Hope your right, thinkn bout pickn one up, would like to put ontop of tree stump, anyone with suggestions on mounting? Not sure if i need to drill into trunk or if some type of sturdy pole bracket would work? Thnx
If you purchase a Harbor Freight pole that usually sells in the $50 dollar range, fly the light weight flag that was included with the pole which is usually 3 ft. by 5 ft. made of nylon with printed stripes and sewn stars. Do Not fly a flag made of cotton. The Cotton Flag will absorb rain water and the weight with the wind blowing will bend the pole at ground level. I would recommend to fill the bottom 4 feet of the pole above the ground with concrete to provide the support when the pole wants to bend.
You can go to any auto parts store and buy lock tight Comes in various strength levels by it's liqiuid color, so it won't work loose and if you need to can use a wrench to loosen. Just buy the mid level

@@petrmaly9087 Wales has a flag with a DRAGON on it too. What's your point?
@@Darkless4X Yeah, but Wales is part of the UK.
Thank you my husband had a stroke and he want a flag put up this something I can try and do for him. Thanks again
I know it’s late do you still need help ???
If I lived near yp u I would help without a doubt
To be honest, I like the flagpole being short here. Since it's right next to the mailbox, it fits perfectly.
Thanks for posting the parts and assembly of the pulley system, It's a great makeshift solution!
I could so build one right beside my house right now. Great video.
YOU HAVE THE BEST AND SIMPLE WAY OF DOING THIS WITHOUT WELDING.THANKS ALOT.I AM GOING TO USE YOUR IDEA.
Thanks best video yet and I have watched at least 5 👍👍👍👍

Good ideas for an inexpensive way to show patriotism. Thank you for the tips. They will help a lot

Please let the ole Navy veteran know how ya made it sir.. Have a blessed day
Awesome tip. I was wondering what that cap could be used for. I was thinking a solar powered light for night

I used wire nuts or a trimmed piece of rubber fuel line
Nice job there buddy. Very simple and beautiful.

Love it! Thank you for sharing.
Simple but very nice. The top of the poles hardware looks nice painted white and kind of nautical too.

need a picture please for the old veteran sir
You did a good job my man. Could have made the pole a yard higher. But it looks wonderful.
I like how it's not too tall for its just made to look good next to the mailbox. I might actually do this sometime in the future
GREAT video!! Thank You!! GOD BLESS AMERICA
Well done. Nice install.
Well explained - thank you!
Good bit of one handed skill good show sir!
simple and easy , thanks much
tennisman2k no problem, glad I could help
a fiberglass flag pole nice
Right, this is instead of placing a common flag pole on my mail box. you can make it whatever length you prefer.
Nice job! God bless you and God bless America!
I would have spray-painted the Flag Pole black but other that good job!
I really don't think you needed a pulley on a short pole like that but ok. Nice!
Great job, Sir!
Very good, think I'll try it.
I did a similar setup except I got mine 20ft up so it could be seen!
very nice video very helpful but I was wondering if I wanted to make one taller how would you attach another piece do they make couplers of some sort or would you have to weld it thanks

+Chris Alchenberger okay thanks a lot
can can try an exhaust pipe stretcher
David Quinlan I went to Home Depot and got the sleeve that joins the two together and had them cut the additional length down into half and then used the sleeve to join them. it worked perfect.
I would have put pulley to top cap instead.
Wow
Good job bud.
what size pipe did you use?? are they joined together somehow?? can you list what size ,please,tks....
STANDARD FENCE PIPE FROM HOME DEPOT
Love it👍
Very nice!
You the man!
Can you publish a materials list please
what size of the pipe did you use ???????????
How did it do in high winds?

Punctuation makes a sentence easier to understand.
or you can go to Harbor Freight and buy a 20' flagpole with a flag for about $50.
redblazehorse I bought one those harbor freight flagpoles and It is solid as a rock after a year or so. Easy to lower/raise if need be

It should be like 5 feet higher it least or more
Nice!! USA!!!
Lol we used a heavy metal pole that had a giant steel tank like thing and some zip ties
Can you use concrete to secure your fiberglass flag pole
Why are you using a carriage bolt? It is too long and looks sloppy with a washer that has a round hole.
was your rope nylon or polyester
Does the pulley get loose over time and eventually separate from the latch/pole? Seems like over time it will get loose from the wind and elements.
84Preme so far it's fine... and I have a good breeze most of the time
You can go to any auto parts store and buy lock tight
Comes in various strength levels by it's liqiuid color, so it won't work loose and if you need to can use a wrench to loosen. Just buy the mid level

Why not just attach the pulley to the cap, and get rid of the extra gunk for a cleaner look.
There was not a simple way to attach to the top of the pole cap, personally I didn't even like the cap I used, it was the only option.
Exactly..
one word, tripod.
