    The pole claims to be able to withstand 100MPH but how about long periods of sustained high winds over months? Here in the wind belt of SW Minnesota is the pole worth the money despite it's great price?
    I'll show you the effects of high winds my pole has sustained and give my final thoughts.

    Finally a real F-ing review. So tired of UA-cam always putting rainbows and bs to pump every single thing that can be sold.

    These flagpoles are way too lightweight to be flying 2 ply poly flags. Sure they last longer, but they simply weight too much for these poles.
    I appreciate an actual review of these flagpoles. Most post positive reviews before actually even reviewing the product.
    These are lightweight residential flagpoles and people get tricked in due to “veteran owned.” They think, of course a veteran is going to sell a top quality flagpole. That’s not the case.
    I went with a 30 foot one piece commercial internal halyard fiberglass flagpole. It was much more expensive, but it’ll last forever.
    Try not to let your flag touch the ground. That’s frowned upon.

    I live in West Texas and found out that 2 = 3x5 does well with the 30' pole. I did have a 4x6 and 3x5 flag but that was putting a strain on the pole. Hope this last like First Service says it does.

    LOVE ALL 3 OF YOUR FLAGS, I FLY THE CONFERATE BATTLE FLAG W US FLAG ABOVE IT.. Very helpful, I purchased a pole in 2016 which is still standing but it did break at the base yrs ago so we cut it off. I'm not sure where I bought mine back then but it was under $200 and I believe it's thinner than 11 gage, we live in Bama and every time a storms moving in I lower to half mast. Just now having a problem with the top half bending and need to fix. I appreciate your info about the hvac tape, not sure if I'll just buy another pole or try to fix this one. Have you done you update on the warranty yet? Something tells me the warranty will say something like "Only covers the pole if the flags were on it in the wind.

    the more wind , the less flag, as with Storm Flags.... No wounder the pole is giving out. Another thing you could try is stiffening the inside.

    Love your flags, maybe only goof for 2 flags or maybe 1 in high wind.

    Sectional flagpoles don’t last very long every time it bends the metal eats into itself

      I just realized that you reload too. I've been loading on a Dillon SDB since 2010. It's been an incredible machine.@@IdahoReloader

    too many flags for such wind.Its like sailing. Reduce the sails in a storm

    3 flags in that wind is too much. No flag should be flying in that wind. Just common sense.

    Your American flag needs to be replaced. FYI it should be taken inside at dusk every day.
