Title: Flagpoles....what do you use?
Post by: brickiematt on November 13, 2013, 03:19:34 PM: We always like to fly our Aussie flag while camping, especially during the Australia Day weekend. Previously we've just hung it off a tree or off the side of the tent etc., but next trip we want to fly it up high and proud!
I tried it off the surf rod once, didn't really work, plus I had to take it down to go fishing, which was a PITA!
I'm thinking of some 25mm electrical conduit (which would be kindly "donated" by the sparkies at work 8)), joined together to make a 3 or 4 metre pole.
So what do others use as a flag pole, and how do you keep it.....erm.....erect?!
And remember: :worthles:

Cheers
Matt

I fly my Sydney Roosters one instead ;D ;D :cheers: 8)

Post by: brickiematt on November 13, 2013, 08:40:41 PM: Thanks for the suggestions guys. Might try an old tent pole, see how that goes.
Also reminds me i should get a Myswag flag.

And no need for the little blue pills yet briann, though SWMBO may disagree :-[
