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

This is the third flag pole I have made this way, the first two have taken a beating and still look great! Thanks for watching!!😁🚩🚩

@SteifWood 2 года назад

I'm just curious. Are there any federal or state customs, rules, regulations or even laws in the US how you make a flag pole and how you attach the flag to the rope? Here (all Scandinavia), there are no strict laws but rather customs that the pole _should be_ white (unless it's a small one made of wood) and the flag _should always_ be attached to the rope with flag sticks top and bottom. Personally I would never have used what you call D-rings: metal + metal + wind = clunk clunk.

@kcgunesq 2 года назад

@@SteifWood The US has a fairly detailed flag code. 4 U.S.C. ch. 5 § 5 is the law. However: 1. It is for the most part, advisory. Federal offices are likely bound to follow it, but ordinary citizens and business cannot be punished or arrested for disregarding. That said, generally if you care enough to fly one, you generally care enough to follow the rules. 2. While there are portions dealing with display, such as the requirement that the flag not be flown at night, unless illuminated, I don't believe it there are any rules about pole color or attachment methods. Indeed, I believe even US government flow flags vary in attachment. Some are sleeved for indoor poles and many are attached with hooks through grommets. Do you have a photo or link to the flag sticks? Are these just pegs that hold the rope to the flag? Yes, flag hardware does often clank in high winds, but to me, its just part of the music of life.

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.

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.

Do you think you could have used smaller pipe on yours? Do you think my plan would be too flexible with effectively 3 flags hanging? Thanks

@kennethmaris2831 4 месяца назад

Hello, I'm trying to make your flagpole but I used all 2" poles to a height of 25" feet. I buried 5 feet of a 10 foot piece and then tried to lift the remaining 20 feet up enough to attach to the other 5 feet that was above ground. Bad idea. It was too heavy and it fell to the ground pretty hard snapping in half. Anyway, I tried looking at home depot for the 1 1/2 thick pipe but all they have is 1 1/4. And no reducer from 2 inch. Same thing with lowes. So may I ask where you got your 1 1/2 inch pipe and reducer from. Thank you

@guiltybyperception4976 2 года назад

UPDATE (June 2024): We installed ours October 2023, with a little modifications to it. We did a 10 ft pole as the initial (5 feet in the ground and 5 feet above) as we wanted our finished height to be 25 ft. I will say that we have experienced an EF3 tornado in Dec'23 and multiple straight line winds of 60+mph and this setup hasn't been compromised at all!!! Highly recommend this DIY project if you have been wanting to show you patriotism! I will say that having the 5 ft above ground did present a high level of difficulty when you go to install the two remaining piles (10 ft each). Hey Tyler! I watched the video you did at your old house and now this one, great job! Where do you buy your galvanized pipes?

After my second flag pole was removed by weather, I was considering doing a pole like this. However, since the other two tended to wrap around the pole, I am trying to figure a way to have a rotating truck on top with a pulley in the center, and the rope, (or cable) going up through the pipe.

Then I could just hang a weight off of the bottom of the flag itself, like at national cemeteries.

I haven't researched any other similar builds yet, but I was also concerned about the coupling at the bottom. I wasn't sure if it would become a weak point, but it sounds like his design has worked out. Did you end up making one yourself?

Would like to hear an engineer's input on using Galvanized steel over Aluminum. Steel is more brittle, and aluminum has more flex which is better for something thatll sway from high speed winds. Even steel will sway... Steel is always stronger than aluminum, and its why its used for framing on a building however thats not the same kind of steel.
