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.
Select a suitable drill bit for the size of bolts which came with the pulley assemblies and drill the top and bottom holes in the pipe. Drill through one side of the pipe wall and continue drilling until the bit exits through the outside of the other wall of the pipe.
Bolt the pulleys onto the pipe with an appropriate wrench set, placing a lock washer and nut on each. Tighten until hand-tight, then tighten further until the nuts cannot be turned anymore. Use caution so the bolts aren't stripped while tightening.
Attach your rope cleat half-way up your flagpole. Use the screws provided to do this. You can use your drill to make pilot holes before doing this to make it easier. Mark your position on the pole using the level. Push your piece of wood into the top of the pipe until it is flush with the top. Attach the pulley to the top of the pipe. Use your heavy-duty eye screws to screw the pulley into the wood. After all, it is time to proudly display a flag.
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.
