Flag holder

[Papalr]

I know this probably sounds like a dumb question, but as soon as I purchased one someone on MOC would mention a better one. So I thought I would ask first - then purchase. We're looking for a detachable flag holder, preferably one that would attach to the rear ladder. I would like to fly a 3 by 5 flag. We checked at CW, but was not impressed. DW found several options on the internet, but wanted some suggestions before purchasing.

Lonnie,

I bought this on the Internet:


It works good & I get a lot of looks & questions. It's 16 feet high from the holder on the ladder. We have had 35 MPH winds with No problems. It collapses to 4 feet for storage & it's made of Fiberglas.

This is the web site:http://www.polesandholders.com/home.php?cat=1

Hope this helps.....let me know if I can answer anymore questions for you.

Just an update......I installed the mount just below the top step for support. Don't install the way they show it on the web site. The wind will bend the ladder slightly as they show in their pictures.

Hi Papair , if you are looking for a real nice Flag Pole System,then take a look at www.flagpolebuddy.com . They have a nice mount that is available in several different sizes and all the accessories you could imagine for your Flag Pole. They are great people to do business with and will treat you well. ...Scott

I have the 1.5 that I fly a "flag colored" wind sock or my flying bird on ocassion. Works great with the twist on connector also.

I have the Portable Folding Tire Mount and a 20'Fiberglass pole fly 2 flags a U.S and POW. I cut a hole in the mount and clamp it between the front tripod and hitch where the trailer hooks to the truck to hold in front of cap.

Believe it or not.....check out a Home Depot store in the (outside) garden section.

They carry a couple different flags and poles. Same as you would get at Camping World, and some on poles and holders, but cheaper.

Flagpole Buddy is a "GREAT" solution. I had the polcarbonate version on our last 5fer and it broke in the cold. I installed the aluminum version on the Montana and have had no problems. Quick and easy to install and the flagpole collapses short enough for easy stowage in the basement.

Thanks to everyone for their input. I checked out all the different sites and decided on Flagpolebuddy.com. They were very helpful when I had a couple of questions and now have a 1.0 on order. Thanks again for the help.

Wow! I had one mounted on the ladder on our last trip out and took it down. It was keeping DW awake flapping and making a noise. Guess her hearing is to good.

I'm going to go with the PVC made one that sticks in the ground and swivels when the wind blows. Just might do a "Y" and have two flags flying.
