A flagpole can help you easily decorate for any occasion. In addition to the American flag, you can hang a flag for any season or holiday.
Instructions
1. Choose a spot
If you are installing a flag pole on a brick house, make sure you position the screws to go into the mortar and not the brick. If you are working on a sided house, make sure you are in a sturdy area of the wall. Another good option is a porch post.
2. Mark first
Place the bracket where you want it and use a pencil to mark where the holes are. Choose a drill bit that's best (masonry bit for mortar) and pre-drill the holes.
3. Anchor
If you are hanging the flagpole on a brick house, use a plastic anchor in the hole before screwing the bracket in place. For other materials, put a bit of caulking in the hole first to keep out moisture. Most likely, the pole will come screws that are at least 1 ¼ inch long. If not, replace the screws with longer ones to make sure the pole will remain anchored.
4. Hang
Slide the pole with the flag on it into the bracket and you are done.
