Flagpoles are metal piping with thick enough walls (generally 1/4 inch thick or more) designed to withstand the wind load a flag exerts on the pole during high-wind weather conditions. Galvanized pipe is well-suited to such an application due to its resistance to the formation of rust, which could weaken the metal. Due to this resistance to rust, such pipe can be used as a permanent mast for flying a flag, where untreated steel pipe must be removed periodically and replaced with new pipe to replace a rusty, corroded section.
Mix concrete in a separate container per manufacturer's instructions. Fill your bucket up 2 inches with the concrete and allow it to sit for a short time. Place the wrapped end of the PVC pipe into the 2 inches of concrete. Use your level to make sure your pipe is straight.
Hold the pipe steady while someone pours more concrete into the bucket (or vice-versa). Do not fill the bucket all the way up, as it will be extremely heavy. The concrete should dry quickly if you made sure to get quick drying concrete. Make sure to hold the PVC pipe in place until the concrete is hard enough to hold the PVC pipe. If you have something you could prop the pipe up against that will ensure it stays in place, go for it.
Allow the concrete to dry overnight. Take the pipe out of the concrete (it should come out easily due to the petroleum jelly. If you want, you can paint your pipe a different color to give it a more elegant look. Allow the paint to dry before putting the pipe back into the concrete. The pipe should fit perfectly in the concrete.
To raise or lower a flag, a person would attach the flag to the hooks and simply pull the rope until the flag reached the desired height. He would then tie the excess rope onto the pole's cleats. A person could raise the flag and be proud of his or her country.
There is a barrage of cheap and Flagpoles being imported and sold, that do not comply with the statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flagpoles are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flagpoles made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flags and flagpoles designs offered a special edition of flagpoles to comfort your environment with the genius American brand flagpoles that stay for centuries to memorize the history of flagpole production for the future.
