Do-It-Yourself $130 Flag Pole

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.

[@DIYTyler]

Respect to people and objects as due is an important rule in my life and I hope to convey that. Thanks for watching!

[@mid-west_man]

I noticed, he did the right thing.

[@s.p.m.g.9304]

So did I

[@michaelhooks3644]

strong winds had blown my flag off the side of my front door one night. i work evenings and had went to bed about 230am. flag still up....ran into a friend of mine said he drove by my house going to work, 6am, and saw my flag on the ground. i got up at 10am and it was back on my house by the front door.........so,,,,,,,some great patriot stopped and put my flag back up...still could'nt tell you who did it, but thank you

[@BlueandRed098]

My friend your flagpole SI G.I pipe?

[@tsuchang1]

Thanks. The daughter did a wonderful job singing.

[@DIYTyler]

Thanks Stephen, she did a great job!

[@macktruck6407]

Your daughter brought a tear to my eye singing, God bless y'all and her voice is beautiful! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

[@ericwright1344]

I just got my house built after a 3 year project... I'm so excited to do this... Thank you for showing us how to put the flag up... It's been a dream of mine to have our country flag flying proudly at my house.

[@josephwhite2588]

Great video. Its ok you don't explain everything, I don't like ppl just babbling. Straight to the point. Love the ending.

[@usmcpatriot4137]

United States Marine Veteran here. 5:56 into the video brought happy tears to my eyes. God bless your family and God bless the U.S.A.

[@caseywilson2332]

I see what you did there. 👍👆 Also know I'm late to the video

[@chriselse1859]

Just built it this weekend per your directions, just added a gold finial ball to the top. Worked out great! Saved hundreds of dollars. Thanks Tyler. God Bless America!

[@tabwestbrook6500]

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

[@mid-west_man]

Great video I like how your kids played their part in your project and your daughter singing at the end was icing on the cake. God bless you and your family, thanks for sharing.

[@bud-weiser7713]

I built this pole few years ago following this video. Worked perfect, very strong through blizzards and high winds. Excellent job and Thank you for vid👍

[@sevencorsa]

Now that is great parenting, teaching you kids to love our great country, very nicely done. God Bless America now and forever !!!!

[@EnlightenedRogue24]

Beautiful how you got your babies involved in helping put up Old Glory. Memories that will last a lifetime for them. Great job dad! ☝️🥴👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@SamsaraHealth]

Thanks for the DIY flagpole video Great job 👍 Your daughter sang beautifully too💓 from down under, Australia 🇦🇺

[@christopherhaak9824]

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.

[@montewoods4766]

thank you. we need more flags In this country right now.

[@DIYTyler]

Yes we do. Thanks for watching, much appreciated.

[@rronaldreagan]

+Tyler G isnt this going to attract lightnings on storms? i always thought these poles were directly grounded to earth to help with this

[@DIYTyler]

+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]

***** 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

[@cloroxbleach6772]

Tyler G I think we only get another flag is if we find a new state or take over a state then we will have a another star and we can a make a another flag that presents the place and yes we need a another flag

[@devogle7905]

Thanks Tyler, great to see someone Honor our flag. As a Vet, it looks good to see a flag in someone's front yard.

[@DIYTyler]

Thanks Dev and thanks for your service!

[@kokle3183]

I wait to make flagpole

[@2bdefacto]

Thank You Tyler. I have a flag pole but need a bear pole, a birdfeeder I can send up and down. This gave me some good ideas

[@rob6343]

I have always wanted a good flagpole, after watching this video I hit the big box store and a few hours later I have the pest looking flagpole in the neighborhood. thanks for this how to video!

[@telescopingflagpole]

Looks great! Love your little one singing. That is awesome

[@CihaPet]

Having your little girl singing there at the end was the cherry on top. Awesome!

They are, and growing up so fast. Thanks for watching John!

Great job Tyler. You had some good helpers on this project and your daughter did an awesome job on the song. LOL almost fell off my chair when you were past out on the lawn.

That's the idea, I hope I can get it out if I need to! Thanks for watching Bill.

[@keithdouble1440]

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.

Thanks for the kind comment John!

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

Nice Job Tyler. Glad you remembered to put a light on it.....lol.

[@donf3739]

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.

[@conrat2000]

and seriously, you do some really cool stuff.

[@davidheizer5887]

Love this project and really love the singing

Excellent idea with the ratchet straps to plumb the pipe! Good video

[@DIYTyler]

Thanks man, glad you liked it!

[@tho33mas]

Looks good Tyler! one thing we did when we put our flag up was mark the rope where the half mast mark is, it just makes it much easier when we have to.

[@DIYTyler]

+Kyle Thomas That's a great idea man! Unfortunately it happens all to often nowadays. Thanks for watching.

[@tho33mas]

Yea I know exactly what you mean!

[@jaygallagher8064]

Thanks! Good job, cute kids!

[@rebelitrouble1971]

I love you Tyler so much

[@railroad9000]

You have quite the helper there!

[@DIYTyler]

Thanks man! Both the kids are super helpful.

[@rogermoreau8834]

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.

[@juanarcos38]

wow cool . use snaphook better, and u can add a gold ball. overall great flagpole very strong, hope to see updates flag waving video maybe. .

[@jaythompson6810]

outstanding JOB! I just paid $500 a year ago to have a 25ft flag put in. Yours is nice and probably stronger then mine.

[@DIYTyler]

I have noticed several people around me that have purchased flag poles that are bent now....not this one! Thanks for watching Jay!

[@jaythompson6810]

Your welcome! mine isn't bent its a solid one piece but yours looks stronger lol.

[@CyberAutomate]

Well done handling Old Glory. Us soldiers really appreciate it.

Glad you liked it Mary and yes, she totally stole the show. She was so proud of herself as she should be. Thanks for watching!

[@dps5819]

Great Video thanks for sharing, my son wants a Flag pole too but I don't feel like spending $500 to have one..

[@jamessurber853]

20-ft poles run from $111 to $200 for the low-end residential poles. Also include a flag. You still have to dig a hole, though.
