I don’t understand why the thumbs down for a video that explains in great detail on how to install the flag properly!! Awesome video. Thank you for taking the time out to do it.

[@vizioasdf]

There should be no thumbs down on this video I think he did great job, however there's always going to be haters.

[@williamswavely698]

I must have missed the part where he put water in the hole with the first 6" of dry concrete and mixed it.

Excellent video! This is the first one I've found that shows everything you need to know to hang a flag from start to finish.

HOLY COW! This brought back a memorys from my childhood....I remember my dad would repeat many times when we were handling the flag; DO NOT LET IT TOUCH THE GROUND..EVER"

[@mrkellysalinas]

It was a nicely done video. But, when it’s time to teach your children how to properly use a level, be sure to tell them a horizontal surface is “level.” A vertical surface is “plumb.” 👍🏼🤔

[@justrelaxinginmn]

Really appreciate your video. I just purchased the Old Glory 25 ft Sectional. Very informative on how to do stuff. Does the pole rotate in the wind? Would putting something like a fence post or PVC inside the sections make it stronger in a windy area?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching & we appreciate that. The 25’ pole is awesome. We don’t notice much movement with our pole. We haven’t added any additional parts for strength purposes since install however there are definitely several creative ways to strengthen pole for weather, we just haven’t tried anything. 😎👍

Speaking as a Career Navy Sailor. If the flag below the American Flag is a service flag such as Navy, Marine Corp, etc. then it does not have to "fly" 6" below the American Flag.

[@JQUICK21]

LOL any flag we choose can be anywhere we want it.....these types of "rules" are hilarious! Like the one we were taught about not wearing a hat at dinner time.....those are NOT rules from God.....they are rules by some human being who had opinions! Nobody is harmed by a hat....there is no disrespect to anyone when wearing a hat....and where you fly your second flag is not harming anyone nor is it disrespecting anyone who see's it! Like I said, those are rules created by human beings. And lastly, there was a time when there were no borders, nations or countries. And certainly no flags! LOL every church has their own rules.....so which rules should we follow and which rules should we ignore?

[@blakebiltwell5]

Thanks for sharing. Is this a 30 ft flagpole?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching, happy New Year. This is the 20’ pole. 😁👍

[@carllove3705]

Very nice job. Does that flag get wrapped around the flag pole when the wind is blowing hard and changing directions?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching & it does occasionally however it fixes itself on its own in a very timely manner. Hope all is well. 😎👍🔧🔩

[@crazycarl661]

I went deeper (about 22-24”) cuz of clay soil, then the gravel, etc. I have 7” of pvc above the concrete showing. My only concern is the first pole seems very loose in the pvc. Will this tighten over time? Should I attach a flexco to the seam?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching & there is a little play between pole & pipe. We thought the same thing initially however it has never been an issue. 😎👍🔧🔩

[@phennah9mm461]

Totally confused is why you dumped 6 in of dry mortar cement in the hole before you actually mixed concrete with water and then poured it in. I've never seen this done ever when mixing concrete are pouring a fence post or anything else why did you dump in dry mortar mix?. I'm just curious

[@juanarcos38]

Its great flagpole looks nice.

[@gileckert696]

Thank you...if it wasnt for ur video i wouldve been lost...ur fn awesome

[@donfrank4429]

the pvc is in the concert, the flag pole in inside the pvc , does the flag pole rotate in the PVC pipe in the wind with the flag, or do you drill and place a bolt through the pvc pipe then first section in the of flag pole to keep it from moving in the wind

[@williamboydsmith4773]

[@JQUICK21]

Why is it so necessary to add some gravel to the bottom of the hole? This means we have dig much deeper than what is recommended and I don't want to do that! Not sure the pea gravel will do much at all when the ground is mostly all clay.....

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

@@JQUICK21 Thanks for watching, this helps in proper drainage to alleviate water puddling around and beneath concrete. This helps alleviate stress-cracks in concrete during winter.
