We have needed a proper flag pole in front of this house and it has been far too long around our place without one. This is a two hour project is simple, and results in an inexpensive yet very strong flag pole that cost less than $130. This is a quick project with galvanized pipe parts that are readily available at your home center and will change the look of your home forever. This is the third flag pole using this build method that I have made, all are still straight and strong! One even took 80MPH of wind AND a tornado and it didn't even care! Proven flag pole install method that will last forever. You will need: 2x 2" Galvanized pipe, 10' Lengths (Will cut this in half to bury in concrete.) 1x 1 1/2" Galvanized pipe 10' length 2-3 Bags of concrete 1x Cleat 1x 3" Eye bolt with nuts 1x 50' 1/4" Rope 2x D-Rings or clips 1x 1/4" Pully 2x 3/4" Self Tap screws We LOVE our Carolina Boots!

    @timothybaker82343 years ago You could spray the exposed pipe threads with cold galvanizing spray paint. It would keep them from rusting as the galvanization is lost when the threads are cut. 29

    @seanbeckerer5089last month The clanging sound os one of the best parts of a metal flagpole and of a boast mast.

    @kiltlifter3988last year Nice job!
    LPT.
    Get a flagpole truck with finial, that allows the flag to rotate at top of pole and tie your halyard together between your snap hooks keeping a neater look and easier hitching at the cleat, especially when flying flag at half staff. ...

    @eddiehair14 months ago Just the video I was looking for to build a good solid flagpole that will withstand the strong beach coastal winds of North Myrtle Beach, SC. I had been thinking 2"inch galvanized. Thanks for a great video, extremely well planned, organized, and explained. Thanks from an old Army paratrooper, Vietnam Vet. I'm headed to Lowes to get my material. USA. The only addition will be a POW*MIA flag in remembrance of our over 1500 MIAs from the Vietnam War. Thanks for an excellent video, and most importantly, being an American Patriot and probably a vet. ...

    @BobTheSchipperke2 years ago I love this. Your detail is absolutely essential. It will weather well! What a GORGEOUS pole! The non-endowment cemetery I am restoring needs a line of flag poles for Memorial Day and Veterans Day and this would be my preference on how to make it. Now to do the asking oermission part. : ) ... 4

    @michaellinahan77403 years ago Tyler, good job on the flagpole. It is interesting that Americans that fly the flag are patriots but when English houses do it is branded as jingoism. Ethan is growing so fast it won't be long before you can't use him to clean the chimneys! ... 1

    @stevenreeves47662 years ago Hey there, nice job, loved watching how your kids helped you. Curious why did you reduce the size of the pole on top? Wouldn'it be stringer just keeping it 2 inch all the way? 1

    @cknibler55752 years ago One Recommendation-- put some anti-seize on the bottom threads --- if you have to service the top in five years -- it will be way easier to take down.. Great video , i will attempt !!
