Your American Flag

[mkgr22]

Great flag, and kudos for having a well manicured lawn. Together those really show the pride you have in our country.

+1! It almost looks like he "mows" the snow.

Unfortunately I only have a pole hanging off the side of my home for flying my flag. I don't have the room to put a pole up. I do have to admit that I'm a fair weather flyer... Only because I don't have I place to store it when wet. These pictures are great !! Please keep them coming!!

I put in a 20' Telescoping pole from Uncommon USA last year. I also fly the Gadsden on the old conduit pole on the front deck. Sorry, the only pics I had on file were when I was shooting pics of the truck.

That is pretty nice. How tall is your pole??? If you don't mind what did that set you back??? I was looking toward a 40-50 foot. Shipping is a killer.

Thanks

It's probably 24' if I had to guess. We bought it on a 15-year fixed loan, not sure how much the pole factored in

Ah another it was here when we got here!!! Looks nice. They all look nice with a flag flying!!!!

Don't forget the concrete cost. Terrain, soil type and pole size can mean a lot more concrete as well.

This thread has reminded me that I need to replace my flag.
As a side note-fun fact,
several years ago I decided to erect a flagpole and was curious about local/municipal regulations regarding such.
I called the Tippecanoe county building permits office, as well as the Lafayette city office.
Much to my surprise I found there are no, ZERO, regulations regarding flagpoles in the city of Lafayette.
If you want to plant a 100' pole in your front yard, have at it. You need to ask no-one for permission, and no-one wants to inspect your anchor.
I was pleasantly surprised, but a little unnerved too.
I know how to put up a 100' pole so that it will not blow over on my neighbors house or car.
I don't share that same degree of confidence when it comes to my neighbors...

I have no problem erecting a big pole. Now trying to get it to the house is another story. Another Sunday night 2am run.

For anyone thinking about getting a flag pole, check out Uncommon USA. I bought one at the Indianapolis Home Show about 10 years ago, and it's still doing a great job. There are other companies that have similar products, but do the homework and get the best. Telescoping Flagpoles, Flagpoles & Flags By Uncommon USA

Found this picture from last year, picture doesn't show how well lit it is. Pole is lit on both sides.

I still only have this tiny one. But one day.........
This was Memorial Day, that's why it has the Mourning Ribbon.
