Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 What strength of PVC pipe (Sched 40 or 80) do you use for flag stands?...the kind where the flag sits off at a 45 degree angle from the main upright post. What diameter? How tall is the post from the ground to the angle? What do you use for a base? This would be for maybe up to a 3x5 flag.\ \ \ \____ | | | | | |__| |______Thanks.

Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I got mine (flag stand) finished in time for Flag Day. It was a couple hour project if your wife hasn't just cleaned the garage and moved all your stuff. I had most of the parts from a previous project and just needed the hardware. It's proudly standing as a second flag display I my front yard. I'll probably build a second one just because I can. But my next project may be a Minnie light. I've got most of those parts too, if I can find them. :banghead:Actually DW did a great job cleaning the garage with her daughter and a friend. Now we have a lot more space to clutter up. :rofl2: :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired & Tired (Judy) 90 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Actually DH was able to build the flag pole because he could finally get to all his tools and "stuff" that he could not find before we cleaned the garage. Ha!!!!! :purpleflam: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Ok, she's right. And I had room to move htose pieces of PVC around. Second stand almost finished. The kids helped with this one and we had to go looping in our neighborhood before we finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
