  • I have always wanted a flag flying in front of my home and it has been far too long around our place without one. I finally had the time to come up with a simple, inexpensive yet very strong flag pole that cost less than $130. This project can be completed in one afternoon with galvanized pipe parts that are readily available at your home center and will change the look of your home forever.

    Tyler nice flag pole. I was very happy to see that you showed a lot of respect for the flag by placing it in on your fan during layout rather then placing it on the ground. I commend you on that a lot of people maybe didn't catch that while viewing your video.

    Great job on the video friend. I sell flagpoles myself both residential and commercial. The only issue I have with screwed together flagpoles is the only overlap of the poles is the threaded part. High winds stress that area pretty good unless it is stainless. I have even replaced stainless ones just like it. Also the sleeves we use are a couple inches bigger diameter and we fill with sand around the pole to act as a buffer and it gives the pole some room to give. These are just the way we do our commercial poles. Great video all the way around Tyler. Great use of the kids and the support for the flag while doing the assembly! 25 yr Army vet here

    Just a quick comment on the PVC sleeve to save a whole bunch of time. If you are using 2" galv pipe for the bottom of the pole, you can get 2.5" PVC conduit (it is gray, all the home stores carry it). This is almost an exact match for the exterior diameter of the 2" elec galv pipe, it only takes a very small shim of the galv pipe for a very tight fit. This will save you a huge amount of time making the sleeve. All the rest is great.

    Great video and a good job well done. I have a flag off the corner of my front porch and I hope some day to get it on a higher pole and out from the house a little bit. I'm not sure how long I have been a subscriber but those little ones have sure grown over this time. Man I love the singing give her a kiss for me.
    God Bless my friend.

    I've had four aluminum poles break off and was trying to figure out an easy way to make a better one. This is perfect!
    One thing I would recommend is to use as big a pulley as possible, because they get a lot of wear up there and will usually fail way sooner than you'd like.

      i always thought these poles were directly grounded to earth to help with this

    • @DIYTyler
      @DIYTyler  7 років тому +1

      +don trump Possible although it is significantly shorter than other things around, and if it gets hit it is right into the ground so it should be fine.

    • @rronaldreagan
      @rronaldreagan 7 років тому

      *****
      well that is my concern, it is on the ground but it is insulated by PVC pipe (to avoid corrosion). If a lightning strikes, it wont have an easy path to defuse into the ground

  • @rogermoreau8834
    @rogermoreau8834 5 років тому

    Great Idea of using two conduits of different sizes with the taper for the top pipe. Old Brass Bed Top fixture makes a nice finishing touch for the top of the pole. I would have taken a little extra concrete, make a circular or square form and make a little pad at the base of the pole. A Two Feet by Two Feet pad would look good with 4, 1 foot square floor tile place in the wet concrete, that the inside corners of the tile next to the pole were cut to make way for the pipe.

  • @Schwob94
    @Schwob94 2 роки тому

    Thanks for the great tutorial! How difficult do you think it would be to remove the pole from the sleeve after a few years or is it probably stuck in there for good? I am considering using this pole method to mount some light fixtures. I'm wondering if I can use this method and pull the pole out to change the bulbs instead of building a hinged one to swing down for service.
