Rinkydink Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I erected a 25’ flagpole in my front yard almost two years ago. I’ve been flying 3’ x 5’ flags. The first flag I flew was from a kit I bought for mounting a pole on my house. When that one tattered I just bought one from Wally World. Of course it was not American made and a piece of crap also. Does any one have any experience with American flag manufacturers? I am looking at upgrading to a 4’ x 6’ and want something that lasts a while longer. I’m not so much concerned about price as long as it is made in America and durable. On the other hand, in the meantime I am getting proficient at folding and burning my flags properly.

ESokoloff Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Also use black as it stands up to UV exposure the best. 1 Link to comment
Rougarou Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 If ya'll gonna criticize the work, come over and do it your damn self or buy the property. That Dr Pepper can makes a perfect spot light. Without it, the beam wasn't focused enough. What's really cool is a dark foggy morning and seeing the "lazer" look hitting the flags in a slight breeze. 1 1 Link to comment

ADulay Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I've got an in-law who sends a new flag to me every year. It's made by "Annin" in the USofA. I generally get 9 months out of it every year. AD 1 Link to comment
