Check out the Harbor Freight Flag Pole with the flag. I also dug the hole and cemented the pvc pipe in the ground for the pole. I also did this for the 4th of July Independence Day of 2020. You put the poles up, then drop each section down about 2" and give the pipe a little twist to make the stay up when raising the flag. I drop them back down 2" because they would slide back down and seem to stay up better.

I just became an American and am in the process of renovating my front yard. Looking to install a flag pole too, so thank you for posting this diy.
Welcome to being an American, xxaznbloodflipzz. If you bought the Harbor Freight Flag Pole, you might find that in windy weather, the pole will slide inside itself again. So be ready to get some small metal screws to screw the sections so the flag pole will stay up and fly your flag proud. Thanks again for watching my video and God Bless.
Congratulations!
Congrats and thanks for your effort
I know it’s a year later, but welcome! Also don’t hold the current political environment against us. It isn’t supposed to be like this!

Ooooh the part with the music and the flag Blowing in the wind felt freeing land of the free home of the brave

Your so patient with your projects. My late husband would throw the instructions away, then get mad when things didnt turn out right, and forget doing the whole projects and have :"extra" pieces leftover.
lol, normally I don't use the instructions either unless I get stuck and can't figure it out on my own what the heck they want me to do, but I always get er done even if it doesn't look quite right, lol. Thanks for stopping in Robin and you have a beautiful day.
That's a nice decoration. From Fiji and Belgium, God bless United States of America.

Very nice unboxing and installation of the flag Pol and flag on the occasion of 4th July. Weldone Mike. Have a great weekend. 🌹💖💕💞
Thank you E Learning & Cooking. It was the right week to get the flag up with pride.
Love your personal touch with the music.
I felt the music had to be with respect of the flag and our country. Thanks so much for stopping in.
Thanks Mike went got one last week because of your video and frankly always wanted a flag pole in yard,difference is i cemented my in 5 gallon bucket and then buried it in case i decided to relocate pole elsewhere on my property or move.
That is great and always makes you feel good to show America that you support her. Just a note. The pole needs the drain hole at the bottom of the pole, so the sleeve does not fill with rain water and start to rot the pole and also will freeze in the winter and might break or crack the pole JohnQ public. Thank you so much for your comment.
@@justmike57 thanks totally forgot about that part!
Happy Independence Day
Thank you Bestir Education. You also have a great day.
Happy 4th of July my friend, loved the assembling on so many levels. God Bless all our brothers and sisters and keep them safe and protected from harm and injustice. The flag sways in the wind with grace, from your newly posted pole.

Hope you enjoy it! Just remember when lifting each section... before locking each section, drop it back in a couple inches to give it more strength on those very windy days

Happy Fourth of July Mike. We love your new flag and flagpole.
Thank you so much KaylaAndMichael.
Hoorah!
Thank you Charles Rowe.
That is a nice flagpole.
Thank you Bob Anderson. For the price, I think it will be around for a while.
Hi Mike, I just bought my Harbor Freight flagpole the other day and will be installing it this weekend. I also bought the solar powered flagpole light so I can leave the flag up 24/7, it was less than $20 with their coupon. Great job, looks awesome and your music is phenomenal.. Thanks very much.
God bless America.
For the winter months here, a solar light isn't good enough. I installed an L.E.D. Christmas Spot light on the house that plugs in and directed it towards the flag in which lights up the flag and part of my yard. In the instructions, it does call for a light if left flying all night. You are right about lighting the flag at night or take it in each day. Thanks for the great comment Notsosilentmajority1.
@@justmike57
I now live somewhere that sunlight is just about always in abundance but I grew up with long winters so I know what you mean. Great idea with the Christmas spotlight. Excellent video, thanks again. Best wishes.
I got one of them kits for early fathers day present. Going g to put it up Saturday.
For the price, they are a nice pole. When you lift each section, drop it back down 2 inches for strength and just snug the locks for each section. The first year, a section of two would slip back down when we had high winds. Now it always stays up and I Never mess with the locks when I need to change my flag. I pull the pole out of the ground and lay the pole over too change the flag. Thanks so much for watching.
Every American citizen should have a flag proudly displayed.
This is very true. But the should changed the reading for lighting the flag pole at night. Yes, mine is lit at night with an L.E.D. spot light, but it's hard to figure how to light it, where to get the power to light it and the thieves of the night.
Hi Mike love the flag post. Hope you had a great 4th.💙😘
It's a nice one and hope it last a long time RVing Keep it Rolling. Happy Independence Day.
Happy independence day USA from Indonesia

Thanks so much AB's Kitchen Recipes & Vlogs and a great morning to you also my friend.
Old Glory turned out great Mike 😊👍🇺🇸. Hope you have a wonderful and safe 4th this weekend.
Thanks 👍Rubster760. I had a great 4th with family and hope you had a great one yourself
Love the National Anthem. Hint: if you’ll tighten and loosen by turning the poles themselves instead of the aluminum fittings it will last much longer. The aluminum fittings tend to fail if you use those to tighten each section. Just twist the poles themselves right or left to tighten and in tighten. Easy peasy and no damage.
Thank you for the video and the playing of our national anthem as it went up. Really moving.
You are welcome and it was truly heart felt for me as well.
"Old Glory" looks beautiful in the wind Mike! Perfect video my friend. Made me feel proud. You made my day bud! Take care and have a great 4th of July weekend!!
Thank you BBQ PIT DOG. I felt very Proud also for the ending and soundtrack. A nice feeling over our whole body.
very beautiful amazing so lovely
So proud to put up the flag in my area Habib Pharmacy.

Nice job Mike That looks awesome. Good job on the installation of Old Glory Happy 4th!
Thanks Del Rio and I hope you had a great 4th yourself.
Good Day bro.
Nice unboxing video my friend.
Big Like
Big thanks Mr. Urag. Have a great day.
Thanks for this video! I was trying to decide whether to buy that one from Harbor freight or not and you sealed the deal for me. Thanks.
I have gotten a lot of complaints about this flagpole coming from China. It is what it is. I also use nylon flags because I get a lot of high winds here. The cotton flags are heavier and the pole really waves back and forth, but no damage to report. The nylon flags are lighter and last as long as the cotton ones from my experience over the last couple of years.
Hello Just Mike ❤️😊🙏👍
Hello 👋 Tton Yang2. You have a great day.

I need 1 of thos cool Flag Pole. i have 2 flags flying near my Gazeebo now. i thought you would use the foam again. happy 4Th to you and your family Just Mike.
I, myself think the foam might not work out because of the constant wind stress wiggling the pole. Thanks and you hopefully have a great 4th Iseekoutthetruth.
Hi, l just found your channel, nice vlog, watching from Zambia Africa.
Welcome from Zambia Africa to America. You have a great window to your area also Jessica Kolala.
Bravo Mike!! 👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👏👏
Thank you Roy and thanks for stopping in.
Great. I was looking at one of these. I didn't know how to install it. I probably get me one.
Just remember, Pull the pole up, then drop it back down about 2", then twist the pipe to lock it. Otherwise for some reason it will slide back down NanoMechanics101

I just bought mine from Harbor Freight the other day. I had another pole before, for about 15 years, but it was getting kind of worn looking so I got this one. It's a very good price and I like the telescoping rather than the rope. I was continuously having to untangle the flag from around the pole and this one I think will be much better in unwrapping. I was a little disappointed in something, that's not a big deal to most people, but I am a little too much of a perfectionist. When I put the pole in the sleeve, it had a very slight lean to one side. I KNEW that I had leveled it, but there is a little play in the sleeve. Not much, but it does move the pole a little. When I saw Mike's was leaning a little, I felt better!! I was actually thinking of going and taking it all apart, going to Home Depot for another sleeve and redimix, dig another hole, etc. and my wife was just hoping that I would be satisfied ........ and now I am. It's not that big of a deal. Thanks Mike!
lol, I have COD and like things to look right also. I just marked it up to everything else was not right and the pole was, lol. I will admit, not everything in this world is perfect, and we can't save the whole world so just leave it be I say, now that I am getting a little older. You guys have a blessed day and God Bless you two.
@@justmike57 Try a shim in it ..works like a champ .. Great Job !
Hello, Mike, nice to see u got a flag pole also. I liked the end with the Star Spangled Banner playing!!🇺🇸 I have to say I cringed tho at the beginning when u took the flag out and put it on the ground. 🙈😱 Still got a 👍 tho!😁 God bless America!!🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July Mike!
I felt comfortable setting the flag on the ground, because it was still in the plastic bag. You have a wonderful 4th Misha Lea
I appreciate your concern and wish more people would show the proper respect to Old Glory. The rule is not to let the flag touch the ground which it did not still being in the packaging.
Great video Mike, hope you had a nice 4th of July weekend! I am so glad to be here to catch up on your content. I am so sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you. Great video and I am watching as I am meal prepping so not sure I will be able to comment on all videos but so glad to be catching up.. finally 😊
Thank you Zesty Girl and I had a wonderful BBQ with my brothers and sisters. I am behind also, but staying afloat. I will run a few of yours as well because I know I haven't been keeping up there. You have a restful evening when you can and enjoy life.
@@justmike57 Thanks Mike! Appreciate it and glad that you had a nice family time.. that was the hardest part with Covid.. :)
Very nice, very nice. A couple of things that Europeans are puzzled about Americans - - why do we put so much ice in our drinks and why do we fly our flag on our homes. Well, the ice is a personal thing (it gets HOT in NC) but I grew up saluting our flag everyday in school and saying the Pledge of Allegiance, and we saluted it in the Boy Scouts at every meeting and camp out. My great uncle, for whom I'm named, died in WW1. His widow rounded up us boys to go to the cemeteries and put flags on soldiers' graves on Veterans' & Memorial Days. To me (personally) it's a betrayal of our soldiers if I don't fly it everyday.
You could not of said it better. Being proud of our home land and honoring the ones who had to loose there lives for us. My flag flies 24/7 with a solar light and a L.E.D. light. God Bless America. Thanks for stopping by John.
God bless our Beautiful country and fellow Patriots
Amen, Gustavo Acosta.
The instrumental Star Spangled Banner was fantastic. Would love to know where you found it. Thanks for a great video. 🇺🇸
I got the soundtrack from TH-cam, go to your Studio and scroll down to the music note. Audio Library is where it will take you, then use what is there or type in the search box on the right what you are looking for. Thanks for stopping in The Upside of Downsizing.
Use "Shazam" to find it!
OOps got side tracked yesterday - finishing this off today :) The perfect end and just the right amount of breeze.
For me, it did feel like pride when the flag went up. Sitting in the yard and watching the flag blowing is so nice Zesty Girl.
G O D. B L E S S A M E R I C A ! !
Amen.
We love your vd "Just Mike" Quick question for you:
How long is the base tube (the point where the flagpole goes into)?
I just went out and measured the tube and it is 18 inches long. Thanks for watching.
@@justmike57 Ty. Greetings from Big TX.
got a german version of this ,live in ireland btw for flying 2nd stars and bars on.all year round its strong .
Welcome from Ireland. These poles normally are strong as long as you don't dent the pole and make it weak. If you ever have high winds, more than one flag might take the pole down. Thanks so much for your comment.
I was going to build my own! That's a great price! Will use a real Made in USA flag though :)
I think anything you buy from Harbor Freight isn't made here. I ordered on line some Flags that were made here in the U.S.A. Thanks for stopping in .
Happy 4 of July Just Mike May you eat a lot of hotdogs and have a great time and find peace ✌🏻 lovely flag pole are you going to dance on it before the flag lol 😂
I did the dance, but lost the video, lol. BBQ Spareribs, burgers, chicken and all the fixins. Wish you could have been there Miss Southern Belle.
I have a question??? On the telescoping flag pole, do those twist locks work real good and when taking the flag down, are they easy to disengage?
No, they work just OK. Some people will put a little sheet metal screw at each section. Mine stay up until we have strong winds and one of the sections will come loose. Maybe that is a good thing so the wind isn't as strong at the ground level.
The twist locks are just plastic and you can twist them past where they are suppose to lock and keep twisting until you feel the locking area. I also drop each section about 2 inches down to make it stronger at the joint for the wind.
God bless!
Very true Florocea.k. God bless you also.
Great job on yo new pole! But, I have the same pole as you, and it didn’t turn out so well at the end.... I suggest you watch that pole if it does something. Probably will. But, congrats! GOD BLESS AMERICA! 🇺🇸
Hey there Zanzoun1. I think I know what you are talking about, so look at my Show More section below the video and tell me it that is your problem.
the ending was Awesome!!!!!!!! Thanks
I am proud of my flag and what it means to me. Thanks and thanks for watching
Just bought one was wondering how that pole is holding up? Great video Mike and looks beautiful much respect from Kentucky!
Mine is still doing good, but lately the higher winds make the pole shake to much and a section or two will come loose and slide down. I already pulled each section all the way up, then put them back down about 2 inches to give them a little more strength. Now that the poles are starting to slip down, I plan on using metal screws to hole each section in place. I hear a lot of people are having the same problem keeping the flag fling high.
First
Sweet
God Bless America
Amen Chef Dallion & Friends.
If anyone has a problem with their pole section not staying up, get the "pin and loop" from the hardware store and drill the hole thru your pole and be done with it...
You can do that to make it easier to get down but it you just put small metal screws in each section it isn't that noticeable and I leave my flag up and only take it down to change the flag by pulling the pole out of the ground. So far my pole stays up in place compared to others that I know have this pole. Thanks for stopping in MSG A J Himel Ret
