I purchased the parts and built one of these today. It was a breeze. Total cost was $19 and change. NICE !!! Just ordered a Portfolio flag light and it should be here this week.
You’re going to find that you’re going to need to glue some of those connections. You will end up with two pieces, the ground 4 footer with the 45 deg glued on and one piece of 1 foot pipe glued to that. The other piece will be the 4 footer, the T and the other one foot piece. After you set it up to all hang correctly and have the two pieces separately glued then mount the T so everything is hanging properly and then drill a hole through the T and get a locking pin from Amazon (of course) called a PTO Round Wire Shaft Locking Pin 1/4 x 1 3/4 (pack of 3) also get a 3/4 hole fender washer and it will slip right on without having to beat it on. You will find this keeps all those pvc connections from slipping around and you end up with only two compete sections that fit together nicely.
I like the light idea..and yes as another stated, instead of those little screw in hooks, use a couple of eye bolts and a couple of nylon lock nuts with a couple of small carabiners or spring locks..
THANK YOU!!! I see these at campsites! I needed a gift idea for my hubby for Father's Day. Going to town later today and purchase the supplies!! YOU ROCK!!!
Cool idea. Just a recommendation. You can buy the hooks with a small spring clip that closes. That way you dont have to bend the hooks around your flag grommets. Otherwise, it's a pretty good build.
Thanks! I'm also looking to make a similar getup that I can attach to the tongue jack, somehow. I have a a couple spots where I can place a pvc pipe without needing to hammer anything into the ground. Thanks, again! Great vid.
I used pins you can see them in the updated video here th-cam.com/video/uaEYtC_Sw0E/w-d-xo.html and here is a link to the pins on Amazon amzn.to/2MG72f8
National Anthem as you hoisted the flag was a nice touch! Great flag pole idea by the way.
Instead of the cup hooks, I used two eye screws and two small carabiners. More secure yet removable.
Same here! But now I'm looking to change out the carabiners for metal snap hooks for easier on and off.
Thank you for the easy video. I dislike it when they drag them out. It was just what I was looking for.

Use Zip Ties through grommets. Thanks for showing how the washer plays into the spinning of the flagpole.

@@NoAcresHomestead it turned out really well and my hubby loves it! 💘 thank you so much!

That is a great idea, I am going to change mine out.
Great job showing how simple this install is! Thanks!!
Thanks for watching.
Love the music USA

Excellent instructions, thank you! My husband and I are gonna get the parts and make one tomorrow!
Awesome!!! We love ours!
Very nice! Thank you for sharing!
Excellent video. Thanks.
Great idea! I just made my dad a flagpole/light last week that’s a little different. I like your design though!

Thanks, again! Great vid.
Is there a reason why the back side of the flag is a 1’ piece. Could that maybe be 6” and then able to have the 4’ bottom section a little taller?
Great idea
Thanks
Will this also work for a 4x6 flag also?
Also I need a taller main pole 6-8" will the 4' rebar still work? And am using what I already had 3/4" PVC. My Garage is like a mini home de.
new subscriber. thank you for the idea

+John Coyne This was at Hart Ranch Resort in Rapid City, SD. We loved it there!!!
🇺🇸👏👏👏
Thank you!! Now I am confident I can make this for Father's Day. Should I glue or screw the T and elbow piece?
