How to Build a Flag Pole for your Yard for $130

[@DIYTyler]

This is the third flag pole I have made this way, the first two have taken a beating and still look great! Thanks for watching!!😁🚩🚩

[@SteifWood]

I'm just curious. Are there any federal or state customs, rules, regulations or even laws in the US how you make a flag pole and how you attach the flag to the rope? Here (all Scandinavia), there are no strict laws but rather customs that the pole _should be_ white (unless it's a small one made of wood) and the flag _should always_ be attached to the rope with flag sticks top and bottom. Personally I would never have used what you call D-rings: metal + metal + wind = clunk clunk.

[@kcgunesq]

@@SteifWood The US has a fairly detailed flag code. 4 U.S.C. ch. 5 § 5 is the law. However: 1. It is for the most part, advisory. Federal offices are likely bound to follow it, but ordinary citizens and business cannot be punished or arrested for disregarding. That said, generally if you care enough to fly one, you generally care enough to follow the rules. 2. While there are portions dealing with display, such as the requirement that the flag not be flown at night, unless illuminated, I don't believe it there are any rules about pole color or attachment methods. Indeed, I believe even US government flow flags vary in attachment. Some are sleeved for indoor poles and many are attached with hooks through grommets. Do you have a photo or link to the flag sticks? Are these just pegs that hold the rope to the flag? Yes, flag hardware does often clank in high winds, but to me, its just part of the music of life.

I'm american born in Cuba. That moment when you and your family raised de flag. Was totally magical. That is what we need now. More americans defending this beautiful country. I came from a lost country. I will not lose this one. God bless you and your family too. God bless America. God bless the veterans...

[@bobt2522]

A little Iwo Jima moment as you and The Wife raise the pole into position.

[@JT-sl3ui]

That was the second pole she raised on that day.

[@wallyg1176]

Well done young man! It's heart warming to see how much the flag means to you and you family.

[@christie4004]

Yes!

[@timothybaker8234]

You could spray the exposed pipe threads with cold galvanizing spray paint. It would keep them from rusting as the galvanization is lost when the threads are cut.

[@chancesellers5425]

Thank you for having the balls to be Patriotic and loving your country for that sir I Appreciate the video God bless

[@janqs2459]

This is so sad , that you have to have a balls ,just to be Patriotic. Isn't it ironic at this time? I wasn't born here , but I love this beautiful country, because it let me live here like a man without worrying, when going to bed, that in the middle of the night , SB is going to knock my door and without any reason, drag me in cuffs to jail. That's why, my American Flag, is oversize, flying on wind , attached to homemade stainless steel pole. Maybe it's to big to the size of my house, but I love to watch it flying and I really don't understand, why my neighbor told me to be careful, because displaying American Flag in front of my house , to many people is like a sign , that I'm on conservative side , so doing it I'm offending them . Isn't it irony this days ?

[@chrismilton8914]

Thanks for putting out this video! It is the best homemade do-it-yourself flagpole video on KZbin, in my opinion. Going to Home Depot to purchase everything that I need and get started. Thanks again

[@p.j.d.8199]

Such a great thing to do with the kids, gives them more than one reason to be proud every time they look at the flag flying

[@vilikesavesitawale9939]

Its one of the best diy videos ive watched where you actually show step by step clearly. Hats off to you bro for being a hardworker and clearly your kids love you alot. All the best.

[@bobf61]

I love it! Going to do this. Only thing I want to possibly add is a light on top for flying all night.

[@obliviousmotors6525]

Thank you so much for this guide. I just bought my first house with my wife and now new born daughter and this is a MUST have for any house I own.

[@mhpjii]

With raising the flag we remember the struggle of many to remain free. Excellent. God bless America.

[@kevinsmith6647]

Your kids are great and your son is the star of the show. God bless you and your family

[@dougprentice1363]

Very nice to see a man involving his kids I a project.

[@wagon53417]

Just this past Monday I put up a flagpole. Already had a galvanized 1.5 " pipe. Ordered a repair kit from Amazon and a solar light to illuminate the flag...the light fits under the top ball on the pole and it doesn't matter which way the flag is flying its always illuminated at night🇺🇲👌👍

Looks great, never realized how easy it was to build one... 🇺🇸

[@tylerbell6796]

You’re a good father. We need more like you.

[@DIYTyler]

Thank you! Usually we get nasty comments about the kids being around any type of work....appreciate you.

[@jdgindustries2734]

Nice work Tyler! Excellent quality, excellent project. Thank you for sharing. Peace & prosperity to you and your family!

[@kiltlifter3988]

Nice job! LPT. Get a flagpole truck with finial, that allows the flag to rotate at top of pole and tie your halyard together between your snap hooks keeping a neater look and easier hitching at the cleat, especially when flying flag at half staff.

[@jbg653]

This was a great video. I got really excited because I need to replace my flag pole. My how times have changed. I just priced everything needed at Home Depot and the total is now $285!

[@ckutzli]

Thanks Tyler, this is now my spring project. Nice work.

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Great looking flagpole Tyler. Loved the family joining in. You brother I am sure is real proud of you from Heaven. Peace till next time.

[@eddiehair1]

Just the video I was looking for to build a good solid flagpole that will withstand the strong beach coastal winds of North Myrtle Beach, SC. I had been thinking 2"inch galvanized. Thanks for a great video, extremely well planned, organized, and explained. Thanks from an old Army paratrooper, Vietnam Vet. I'm headed to Lowes to get my material. USA. The only addition will be a POW*MIA flag in remembrance of our over 1500 MIAs from the Vietnam War. Thanks for an excellent video, and most importantly, being an American Patriot and probably a vet.

[@cliff5240]

A great son there, he was going down that hole :) once again great seeing the whole family involved and a beautiful property you have. God Bless America!!!! and God Bless your family!

[@cmcnichols4]

Great video. Really like the way you involve your kids! Nicely done.

[@BobTheSchipperke]

I love this. Your detail is absolutely essential. It will weather well! What a GORGEOUS pole! The non-endowment cemetery I am restoring needs a line of flag poles for Memorial Day and Veterans Day and this would be my preference on how to make it. Now to do the asking oermission part. : )

[@paulstandiford5356]

This is one of my favorite videos on your channel. I like how you have your family involve.

[@p.chandler2189]

Awesome video! I wanted a flag pole, but retail flag poles that looked decent were well over $1000.00 and much more than that in many cases. Thanks for taking the time to makes this! BTW, as an added cool feature, we get to see your cat's impressive athleticism at about 2:05 :) Take care and Semper Fi sir.

[@rogermoreau8834]

The Shipping cost of a 25' non-jointed flagpole can cost up to $500 for shipping.

[@christie4004]

Tyler, thanks for a great video. You look like you have such a great family, such a great bunch of kids....and it was so funny when you said the part about "working smarter, not harder" -- it was hilarious. Thanks for loving America, God bless you. Subscribed.

[@joaschwinn167]

Great job and video! Five stars. Going to add a solar light to top, plus two additional flags, but using exactly your design.

Thank you for sharing this. After watching it, my brother and I built one at his house following your steps. Came out awesome! Unfortunately, inflation and higher prices in California this cost around $375 for the same parts off your description list

I just took down a pole built exactly like this one. This pole will be there a long time. Nice work.

Oh no! This one has took 45mph the other day!

Tyler, good job on the flagpole. It is interesting that Americans that fly the flag are patriots but when English houses do it is branded as jingoism. Ethan is growing so fast it won't be long before you can't use him to clean the chimneys!

I used to live on my sailboat,talk about clanging! There were about Fifty sailors boats in that marina and most of the owners didn’t know how to set up the masts and halyards for less noise. I got used to it. Fun times back then.

Nice job, Tyler! Having a tall pole, you could actually put a bit larger flag on it if you wanted to......

[@hippiewithacowboyhat]

Wanted to thank you for the video. I watched it last week, and again today to double check materials list and depth. We just completed our barndominium, and though it looks awesome, something was missing. Gonna be a Texas flag flying over it by next weekend !!! Awesome help, thank you.

Only step I would have added is melting the end of the nylon rope. Fantastic job!

[@PRSINPSCA]

Fantastic job!

[@wvahillbillyok]

use a bolt/nuts extended through the pole (about inch or two) from bottom of the cap/threads not the cap to sturdy the pulley then you could later add a finial by tapping the cap

[@TacticalMang0]

Great video!! Would you be able to tell me what kind of knot you made on both of the carabiner attachments?

[@eugenespicer3272]

After my second flag pole was removed by weather, I was considering doing a pole like this. However, since the other two tended to wrap around the pole, I am trying to figure a way to have a rotating truck on top with a pulley in the center, and the rope, (or cable) going up through the pipe.

[@eugenespicer3272]

Then I could just hang a weight off of the bottom of the flag itself, like at national cemeteries.

[@markstavely8322]

Thank You

[@anthonymarino4260]

[@cknibler5575]

One Recommendation-- put some anti-seize on the bottom threads --- if you have to service the top in five years -- it will be way easier to take down.. Great video , i will attempt !!

[@juanarcos38]

Love the flag looks badass good job ty.👍👌 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@guiltybyperception4976]

UPDATE (June 2024): We installed ours October 2023, with a little modifications to it. We did a 10 ft pole as the initial (5 feet in the ground and 5 feet above) as we wanted our finished height to be 25 ft. I will say that we have experienced an EF3 tornado in Dec'23 and multiple straight line winds of 60+mph and this setup hasn't been compromised at all!!! Highly recommend this DIY project if you have been wanting to show you patriotism! I will say that having the 5 ft above ground did present a high level of difficulty when you go to install the two remaining piles (10 ft each). Hey Tyler! I watched the video you did at your old house and now this one, great job! Where do you buy your galvanized pipes?

[@DIYTyler]

Thanks for sticking around so long! I got these at Menards.

[@eismann82]

My father in law built one exactly the same way, but he put all one piece in and that was 30 years ago and replaced the pulley once with a rubber wheeled one.
