The PVC Flag Pole Project- Part One
October 5, 2007 by build
Filed under build, Made From PVC
This www.justbuildstuff.com project involves building a flag pole out of inexpensive PVC pipe. Flag poles like these are often seen around RVs at campgrounds across the country. In fact, I first saw one on a family camping trip to South Dakota. They are a neat way to display a flag, whether it be in patriotic sense, to show support for your favorite sports team, or simply for decorative purposes. This flag pole offers a unique manner of displaying the flag with its interesting angle and ability to move when it catches the wind. This project is quite fun to work on while at the same time being extremely simple.
Check back during the next few days to see how the flagpole is built.

What do we use to hook the flag to the pole

We used shower curtain rings for this flag, pictures are shown in part three, but you can use things like key rings or just zip ties also.

I love making these flags, they are good for use at home or in the RV parks. I have found that using 1″ pipe makes them better and I use 2″ eye bolts.

Hi, my scout troop has seen and is interested in building one of these. PVC is readily available at local hardware stores, but not the nice clean furniture grade. Where do you get it, and how much more does it cost than normal stuff? Online it seems to really expensive, triple or more.

I just used the standard grade pvc pipe for this project. If you want a better finish, I have had luck with the spray paints made for plastic such as in the link below. You should be able to find it at your local hardware store.
Krylon Fusion spray paint at Amazon.com

We made one of these but the whole pole turns when it’s windy. How do we stop this ?

With this design the pole will always turn when it is windy.
