Great Video. A little trick to prevent the sleeve from rotating or even coming out of the concrete at some point is to drill a hole through the pvc down low where it is embedded in concrete. Run a piece of rebar or pipe through this hole so that it extends out on both sides of the pvc. This will prevent it from rotating later on. Don't put the hole too high on the pvc or you can't slide the flag pole in properly.
Thank you SO much for making this video! I bought the same flag pole but I have never installed one before. We'll be doing a Jurassic Park flag and a Superman flag in memory of our 4.5 year old son Mikey we lost during heart surgery in June of 2019. Thanks again!!!!

How deep on the ground rod and what are you using to bond the ground rod to the pole, if I may ask, Sir? #12 wire? Nothing too bad around here. The occasional lightning storm from hell several times a year here in Jeffersonville Indiana. Better safe than sorry. But then you have differences of potential between the power co neutral and the pole grounding. As long as it goes to earth ground. Better than nothing (?) What about this thing flying away, or someone ripping it down? A two year old can lift this thing out of the ground.
The pvc pole is 24" deep, the concrete is all i used to keep the poles together. The idea is to be able to remove the pole in severe weather or high winds. You want to be able to pull it out easily when needed.
Great job sir. I like the light on top, and I was almost going to buy one, but if the flag was blowing in the wind, the light wouldn't illuminate the flag sufficiently.
I got my flag pole for $49 at Harbor Freight looks and works the exactly the same as that one. But with out the light. But after googling flag light attachment i got one for 29.00 So total of 78.00. And yes that flag pole works great.
@APE I guess i got lucky then... my harbor fright on was out 2018 when hurrican Rosa hit Yuma Arizona winds was over 60mph at times. lucky for me mine never bent. (the flag its self did rip)
We have a Stand Flag pole that is about two months old. Installation went well. Ours has pins that we have to put in every section when puting it up and take out of every section when taking it down. We have to line the holes up and that is not easy! Right now it's down because we can't line up the pin for the second section. Not much fun. Other than that when it's up the American and Trump flag look great in the day. Our stand light doesn't work well either.
Very nice. Thank you for showing the night view. Will look at your link to Amazon. Really like how you demonstrated the ground install and flag raise using the telescopeIng feature and the removal. Flags are good size. Also liked the flower bed idea. How did your impatience flowers do during the summer? Our sun is too intense for Impatiences without lots of shade. Really nice and informative video. 😊😊😊
Thanks for the comments. The impatients did ok, but this year I will probably go a different route. I went on vacation for a week and when i returned they were fried due to no rain.
What an awesome idea. So how long is the sleeve on the extended PVC pipe? I guess my concern is that the designated sleeve wouldn't be buried enough. Any advice?
The extension piece I cut was 13 inches. The top piece would be buried enough l, and you would have no concern if you used PVC glue to bond the too together. Thanks for asking.
To fly half staff you would put the flag in the second flag position. Since, I fly two flags I would need to remove the second flag. Thanks for asking.
Nice video Ray. I don't know if you live near Danora, or Monongahela Pa. That's where my family is from. We live in AZ now but a bunch of cousins are still in Pa.
Should I get a thicker pvc pipe or is the one they send sufficient? Will only be leaning an inch or 2 above ground. Thanks. Diameter is so of pole so I can get PVC. It’s the collapsible one like this.
The pvc pipe that is supplied with the pole is sufficient to use. I would only heave 1 " above ground. I went deeper and used a schedule 40 attachment to add depth just for security. However it is not needed. Although they suggest back fill dirt and sand. I would thing if you use the supplied pcv pipe and you use concrete. You will be fine. My video was overkill on the process. Good luck.
No I had one in Tucson az it blue down tin the first strong wind ,bent where it came out of the ground ended up buying a heave duty 3 section 2o ft pole
@@raysway6050 I would say it was about a 16th of an inch gap. I cut a piece of the original sleeve off and slide it down one side and it fit perfectly, nice and snug now.
Very nice video thank you I don’t find the link on my cell phone. Can you tell me where you bought it and does it look solid and durable? Thank you so much.
I have the same flag you installed. It worked good for about a month. Then it started falling down. It wouldn’t catch when you twist it, it would just keep turning. It’s standing out there about 6 foot tall, no flags on it of course. So I will never purchase that kind again.
Yes, the plastic tabs inside are weak. There is one in the cemetary I have had to rebuild 3 times now over the past 8 years and it's only put up 3 times a year. Titan brand.... flagpolefarm.com sells the replacement parts.
@@wolfgrizzer I'm just going to try and glue old bicycle inner tube tire material around each coupling with that weatherproof Gorilla Glue. I can get mine down and keep it whole dropping top down catching the flag unclasping it before it hits the ground then store it on the side of the house if there's bad weather.
It has some nice flex in it. I have not taken it down in any weather yet but if you get a lot of high winds over 65 mph i would stil with a solid pole. But that is if you do not want to take it out when it get that windy
Depending on the time of year. The summer it stays on all night with a good amount of light. However during the winter months the light seem to be working at around 70 percents of full power. It stays on but is dimmer
No, the directions only require a 12 in wide hole and 18 in deep. Back filled with sand. However on Ray's Way I do things differently and want to make sure the pole is securely in place.
So I did an 18 by 18-inch for my telescopic flagpole, which is 25 feet high, but I've noticed it pitches & rolls when it's windy. How can i stabilize it from moving? Should the boot & cover help?
I should pitch in windy days. You can either lower one section on windy days to reduce the sway. But. I just let it fly at 25ft all the time. I do not worry about it on windy days. I had no problems so far
I clicked your 499th "like" for your video. Came across it because I am shopping for a 25 foot telescoping flagpole. How do you lock it in place to prevent theft?
Well it was made to be removable. I did not consider theft. I would suggest drilling a 3/8" hole in the bottom pole section that you can run a cable lock through and attach it to an eye bolt that you can insert in the concrete base before it sets.
How many section come down? Just one? You deffentntly should not twist tight using the plactistic collars. Try to tighten about 2 to three inches above and below the plastic section collars.
I don't have that much trust in PVC extending that far above concrete. best to have concrete to within an inch of the top of the PVC to prevent the PVC from breaking.
@@wolfgrizzer I do not get much wind. However the pole says it can withstand winds upto 120mph. I would not trust that. But should handle your regular winds.
@@raysway6050 Mine is in concrete 30" deep, within an inch of the top of the PVC. I got the collar, sits on the concrete to hide the little bit of exposed PVC. I have 2 flags on mine. Had 45 mph wind gusts a few days ago. challenging working in the yard.
Not really. There is a side load pressure on those poles like you wouldn't believe when the wind gets really blowing with two flags up there 17-25 feet. Most of us don't have time to baby sit them and take them in every time the wind comes up and we might not be home anyway. I have a Tele-Pole which are very heavy duty telescoping aluminum tubes. My holding pipe is in that deep and has worked well. I'm getting new parts delivered today after 20 years of use. They've ditched the plastic flag holder rings for steel ones with a bearing inside. The plastic ones will work well for years and years but will finally break--usually the top one on a two flag pole.
@@David-oh3rh I have one of those telescoping aluminum poles too and it's worked quite well for a long time many years but finally some of the joints quit locking so I just taped them and you're right about the plastic Rings mine didn't break but they started binding to the aluminum even with some dry silicone spray. And it gets pretty windy here at times 60+ mph gusts, and I worry about my pole snapping so I usually take it all down. But I put a PVC tube that the bottom of the flagpole fits perfectly in, so I just lift the whole thing out and put it away. I also have one of those round flag pole solar lights that's worked really great for at least 6-8 years now with same batteries! 👍💪 FYI: my flag is flying upside down since the Trump decision to show we are in deep distress as a nation
I have not had any issues with where retention. I do not see how it would hurt to drill a hole. However. If the sleeve impeded completely in concrete the water will have no place to go. If it leaves to stone or sand it will drain
I had that issue once. I sprayed wd40 and let it sit be easy with it because it is mesdy Ny when you pit it bCk up it will get everywhere. Do not twist or pkace your hands on the plactic section piece. You may wNt to get another person twist the bottom section while the other twists the upper section. Again, hands need to be on the pole itself. Good luck. Let me know if it worked.
Great video! Thank you for reminding people to put a light on their flags if they’re flying at night.

@@raysway6050 Poles typically are buried 20 percent of the pole length. Hope this helps
Use one piece of plumbing pvc instead of the sleeve with an extension. This will provide a stronger base and less potential for future failure.

How do you fly 1/2 staff? You secured it to the pole.
To fly half staff you would put the flag in the second flag position. Since, I fly two flags I would need to remove the second flag. Thanks for asking.

How big around is the PVC pipe that you Purchased extra
I bought 2" / SCH 40 fir the extension piece. Thanks for asking.
Just curious as to why you didn't just use one longer piece of pvc, versus adding a union. Thanks for sharing
That was my original plan however, the inside diameter of the PVC was too small based on the wall thickness.

'Merica! 🇺🇸
How is it holding up. Thanks for the video
It is holding up quite well. I do expect I can get a few more years out of it. But for a hundred some dollars it will not last youever.
I have seen a lot of bad reviews about the light you used. How did it work for you?
It is still working, not as bright as it first was but I have not changed the batteries yet either. Over all I cannot complain for as cheap as it was.
Do you have to extend the full 25 feet? or can I leave it 20 or 15 feet?
You can adjust to any height you like. It is as easy as a twist of the pole to lock in position. Each section does not have to be fully extended.
ty looking for a forever pole, sounds like this one wont last. ty though
Well, for 100 bucks, i expect it will last at least 6 to 7 years. Not forever, but not bad for the money
High wind....how's it do. I'm by Wyoming... it blows.
It has some nice flex in it. I have not taken it down in any weather yet but if you get a lot of high winds over 65 mph i would stil with a solid pole. But that is if you do not want to take it out when it get that windy
How has the solar light held up?
Not too bad. However the lights are dimming a bit. The batteries should be replaced.
Do you have videos on the Rumble video platform as well?
I have a Rumble account,but I have not loaded any videos on there yet.
What do you do if the arrows are not lining up with the hole to lower pole
I am not sure what you are referring to? The pole raises and lowers but a twist to lock mechanism.
Suggestions for flying at half-staff??
The only option will lower the flag to the second / lower second flag location since you can fly 2 flags at a time.
how many hours does the light stay on?
Depending on the time of year. The summer it stays on all night with a good amount of light. However during the winter months the light seem to be working at around 70 percents of full power. It stays on but is dimmer
Do u really need the diameter of the hole that big
