Dave, you are my hero. I moved into a condo and there is no drilling into the walls here. I just wanted to hang my flag and have been searching for an easy and inexpensive way for me to do that. Didn't have much success until I saw your video. You have made me so happy, cause I think I can do this now. Don't know anything about tools and now I know about a U bracket. I think a can of spray paint will be helpful so that it all blends in nicely with my deck. Way to Go!

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

So glad we could be of help, Kathy. I told Dave how much our video made you happy. He was super glad! We hope the U bracket works out well for you at your condo. Thank you for watching.

Thank you so much, I was able to hang my flag on my porch instead of having to get a flagpole to put in the middle of my yard.

[@Tk-tif]

Thank you 🇺🇸 I had a plastic bracket and it broke as I was starting to replace the new heavy duty metal one today I figured I’d ck a couple KZbin’s see if I can find a better way to fasten to my 🏡

[@kathleenmcgrath8182]

Thanks for your help Dave.

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

[@2kitties]

Thank you so much! I can’t wait to get my U bolts! 🇺🇸

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

You bet!

[@peenuti]

Awesome! You just solved my problem! I have vinyl siding so I hadn’t been able to put my flag up. Going to go to Home Depot so I can put the flag up on one of my columns- thank you!

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

Fantastic!

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

Glad I could help!

[@aileenmorales1703]

This was outstanding!! Thank you sir!! 🇺🇲

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

Very welcome

[@Tralfazz74]

Thank you for this. It's not what I was looking for, but it did help me come up with the right idea. I'm securing a flag to a T-post. The grommets make the side easy, but the top is more difficult. I don't wanna put holes in the flag, but using a clamp might just work

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

Glad it helped!

[@TheEnvelopeOZ]

Thank you for your service.

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

[@lmd038]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

you are welcome

[@NWOisUponUs]

Thank you for this as I really hate making holes. The problem is a can't find a good Made In USA flap pole. Can anyone help me out?

[@uneclipceble2534]

Love this idea! But, our house is a rental so we can't drill any holes and we don't have railing or any poles we could put around the post. The only post we have that won't block the flag, as we have lots a bushes in the front, is a post next to the garage door. I can take a double check but I don't think there are any small holes there so we can do the brackets, either one of them. Would you have any ideas for us so we can have a secure flag in that area?

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

Without having a solid post of some sort onto which to hang the flag and the fact it is a rental, I'm sorry but haven't come up with a idea that would work. Perhaps our readers might have suggestions.

[@charliejg]

I'm wondering if the company you think was closed is the same one I had seen. They were in Pennsylvania I believe. Anyway, thanks for the info!

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

Most likely. It was located in PA. They had a very neat product.

[@rickvazquez2432]

I'd like to affix the flag pole bracket onto a square column. The column is a façade, not solid wood, approximately 8 inches wide. Fastening it using screws will not hold up during medium to high winds. I would rather not use metal bands to fasten it for aesthetic reasons. Any ideas on how to fasten it would be very much appreciated?

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

Hi Rick. That's a great question. Using toggle bolts instead of screws is potentially a solution. We know there's a great deal of tension on a flag especially in the wind and probably no perfect solution. Another idea is you could try a website we know called FenceHangers dot com. They have some innovative products that may prove to either offer a solution or perhaps give you other ideas. Hoping this helps you get closer to a solution.

[@davepike1220]

The U.S. flag is not to be dipped. If you stall the holder like that, the flag will be dipping. NO, SIR! But, you did an excellent job with your demonstration!

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

Dave, you can display the flag at an angle. When projecting horizontally or at an angle from a windowsill or front of a building, the union should be at the peak of the staff, unless the flag is at half-staff. You are correct the US flag is not to be dipped when adjacent to other flags of lesser importance which are dipped when the national anthem is played.

[@NormaKania]

This is perfect! Where can I find this bracket with the slits?

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

You can find them at your local home supply store like Home Depot, Lowes, etc.

[@michaelmace924]

This is all great but I'm afraid that when I make those clamps tight enough to hold it steady that it will make marks in the wood. Does anyone know if they make a small band like the type used in shipping? If you're familiar with the bands I speak of I'm sure you'll know what I'm talking about.

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

You could try using strapping bands.

[@WallStWarLord]

Where can we purchase these flag pole mounts and bearing such same side slots please?

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

We purchased ours at Home Depot.

[@patrickchappell3474]

What about large round pouch columns?

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

I don't have a solution for larger round columns. We found a product years ago but they are no longer in business.

[@marychaniewycz3848]

I need a bracket with slots. Where can I get one!

[@FrontPorchIdeas]

Usually any home supply store should have them, Mary. Thank you for watching.
