The pole claims to be able to withstand 100MPH but how about long periods of sustained high winds over months? Here in the wind belt of SW Minnesota is the pole worth the money despite it's great price?
I'll show you the effects of high winds my pole has sustained and give my final thoughts.

Finally a real F-ing review. So tired of CZcams always putting rainbows and bs to pump every single thing that can be sold.
These flagpoles are way too lightweight to be flying 2 ply poly flags. Sure they last longer, but they simply weight too much for these poles.
I appreciate an actual review of these flagpoles. Most post positive reviews before actually even reviewing the product.
These are lightweight residential flagpoles and people get tricked in due to “veteran owned.” They think, of course a veteran is going to sell a top quality flagpole. That’s not the case.
I went with a 30 foot one piece commercial internal halyard fiberglass flagpole. It was much more expensive, but it’ll last forever.
Try not to let your flag touch the ground. That’s frowned upon.
I live in West Texas and found out that 2 = 3x5 does well with the 30' pole. I did have a 4x6 and 3x5 flag but that was putting a strain on the pole. Hope this last like First Service says it does.
Now if your welding pipe need to star step the size, bigger down at the bottom, and smaller to the top. If you don't you will need guild line to hold it into place.. That a pain Or you could weld callers around the joint That will make it stronger. I'am really having good luck out of the 25' telescoping flag pole. I keep it at 20' high. So far it with stay over 90 mph winds. the joints will stick togather from dirt and sand going down into the joints. That why i buy cheap flags, that way i'am taken it up and down every 4 months. What i did was? Take water pour down and around the sides of the joints to loosen up the dirt and sand. Once there clean IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM
LOVE ALL 3 OF YOUR FLAGS, I FLY THE CONFERATE BATTLE FLAG W US FLAG ABOVE IT.. Very helpful, I purchased a pole in 2016 which is still standing but it did break at the base yrs ago so we cut it off. I'm not sure where I bought mine back then but it was under $200 and I believe it's thinner than 11 gage, we live in Bama and every time a storms moving in I lower to half mast. Just now having a problem with the top half bending and need to fix. I appreciate your info about the hvac tape, not sure if I'll just buy another pole or try to fix this one. Have you done you update on the warranty yet? Something tells me the warranty will say something like "Only covers the pole if the flags were on it in the wind.
Thank you for the honest review!
We sure to check out my follow up video. Thanks for watching!
3 flags in that wind is too much. No flag should be flying in that wind. Just common sense.
I think it says only use 2 full size flags... best I remember
Well you must have a very very strong pole to go over 25' in the air. That why i want go over 20' high That extra 5' less make it stronger.
the more wind , the less flag, as with Storm Flags.... No wounder the pole is giving out. Another thing you could try is stiffening the inside.
Love your flags, maybe only goof for 2 flags or maybe 1 in high wind.
Sectional flagpoles don’t last very long every time it bends the metal eats into itself
How did the manufacturer handle the issues?
Find out next Sunday, Sept 10th! Make sure you're subscribed!
I just realized that you reload too. I've been loading on a Dillon SDB since 2010. It's been an incredible machine.@@IdahoReloader
Thanks for sharing! God bless American!!
Very cool
too many flags for such wind.Its like sailing. Reduce the sails in a storm
Your American flag needs to be replaced. FYI it should be taken inside at dusk every day.
