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.
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.
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.
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
Sounds like you have had the misfortune of purchasing JUNK. Thin, tall, sectional flagpoles are NOT durable anywhere. The mid-west plains are notorious for having a constant wind. The solution is a shorter one piece heavy duty large caliber aluminum pole. Forget the plastic pole light. It's flimsy junk. Take down your flag at sundown as you are supposed to, and your flag will last longer. You get what you pay for. A larger caliber, much thicker, one piece aluminum flag pole, although much more expensive, may be a better option than the additional wasted money spent for the cost and trouble of constant screwing around, fixing, repairing and trying to cash in on service guarantees. A flagpole should last for decades, not require constant expensive repair and maintenance.
Finally a real F-ing review. So tired of TH-cam always putting rainbows and bs to pump every single thing that can be sold.

I think it says only use 2 full size flags... best I remember
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
Thank you for the honest review!
We sure to check out my follow up video. Thanks for watching!

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
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.
3 flags in that wind is too much. No flag should be flying in that wind. Just common sense.
This is the wrong flagpole for the wide open plains.
Thanks for sharing! God bless American!!
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.
See update here (with new flag) th-cam.com/video/EK5VrPxC8JU/w-d-xo.html. Pole has spotlight for night use. Thanks for watching and God bless. ✌️
