I don’t understand why the thumbs down for a video that explains in great detail on how to install the flag properly!! Awesome video. Thank you for taking the time out to do it.
It was a nicely done video. But, when it’s time to teach your children how to properly use a level, be sure to tell them a horizontal surface is “level.” A vertical surface is “plumb.” 👍🏼🤔

HOLY COW! This brought back a memorys from my childhood....I remember my dad would repeat many times when we were handling the flag; DO NOT LET IT TOUCH THE GROUND..EVER"
Speaking as a Career Navy Sailor. If the flag below the American Flag is a service flag such as Navy, Marine Corp, etc. then it does not have to "fly" 6" below the American Flag.

the pvc is in the concert, the flag pole in inside the pvc , does the flag pole rotate in the PVC pipe in the wind with the flag, or do you drill and place a bolt through the pvc pipe then first section in the of flag pole to keep it from moving in the wind
Really appreciate your video. I just purchased the Old Glory 25 ft Sectional. Very informative on how to do stuff. Does the pole rotate in the wind? Would putting something like a fence post or PVC inside the sections make it stronger in a windy area?
Thanks for watching & we appreciate that. The 25’ pole is awesome. We don’t notice much movement with our pole. We haven’t added any additional parts for strength purposes since install however there are definitely several creative ways to strengthen pole for weather, we just haven’t tried anything. 😎👍

I went deeper (about 22-24”) cuz of clay soil, then the gravel, etc. I have 7” of pvc above the concrete showing. My only concern is the first pole seems very loose in the pvc. Will this tighten over time? Should I attach a flexco to the seam?
