I'm about a year away from buying my own house, but I already have a vision for the front. The very first thing I'm doing on closing day is hanging a good quality American-made flag. It's my American dream to own a house, and I'm closer than ever. My parents were Asian immigrants, and I was born here in the US. My life would not be as great as it is if I was born anywhere else on Earth.

Thank you! Strong winds blew our flag down. Luckily, it did NOT hit the ground. It was resting across the stair railing so now I'm wanting to get it remounted with a sturdier bracket. The plastic bracket did not stand up to the 50+ mph winds. The solid wooden pole did though. I just ordered an aluminum bracket to replace it. I wanted to make sure we were following the flag code before we move it to the less windy side of the house.

This was all well and good, but the wind where I live just YANKS the entire FLAG HOLDER plus all the long screws RIGHT out of the 4 by 4 tall post I use off my front porch. After three attempts to secure the holder with screws, I haven't rehung my flag. I'm about one of two of us on our street who still hangs our flag out. I wonder if gluing the nails in would keep the metal holder from being snatched away by the wind. My flag is very large with a yellow fringe. I angle the holder to fly the flag at a "V" angle rather than square out of the holder.

Nothing looks better on/in front of a house than Old Glory waving in the wind. We have a 20ft aluminum pole with a 4x6 flag on it. We've tried just about every brand of flag available and out here in coastal CA we are lucky to get 1 year before it has to be replace. The wind and UV rays are brutal on flags. Btw, I believe it is illegal in California(like most things are) to burn the non cotton flags. You can also take it to your local VFW post and they will take care of disposal.

Stud is great if there happens to be one where you want to hang your flag. Chances are there might not be. There is wooden sheathing that covers all the studs when your home was constructed. That's what they were supposedly drilling into. You can't miss it. Mount your flag exactly where you want it this way.
