Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Set firmly into the ground, this 3-by-5-foot U.S. flag will wave in tricolor triumph through many holidays. It's made of heavy nylon with double-stitched red and white stripes and embroidered white stars on the familiar blue background. It dries quickly after rain, resists fading in sunlight, and remains durable in wind--yet is light enough to flap in the slightest breeze. The flag attaches with simple snap hooks to a thick nylon halyard that hauls the flag up a sturdy, 2-inch diameter, 20-foot (above-ground) satin-finish aluminum pole. The halyard runs through a nylon pulley in a cast-aluminum "truck" at the pole's top and ties to a 6-inch cast-aluminum cleat. Above the truck, a 3-inch diameter gold ball, anodized like the pole for hardness, screws into the pole, and a setscrew keeps the ball securely in place.

The pole comes in five sections that slip into one another. To keep it upright, there's an 18-inch section of PVC pipe that serves as a ground sleeve. Instructions on the box explain how to set the ground sleeve in concrete. Installation is not complicated, and, once installed, Old Glory will fly permanently in any outdoor setting. --Fred Brack

This review is from: Valley Forge In-Ground United States Flag Kit, containing 20-Foot Aluminum Flag Pole, 3-Foot x 5-Foot Nylon United States Flag With Sewn Stripes & Embroidered Stars, and Hardware (Lawn & Patio)

We bought it to see if the kit could stand up to the elements of the Colorado River Valley winds, sun and other desert elements. Before recommending the kit to friends. We have had one of the Valley Forge, U.S. residential flagpole kits installed in our front year for over 18 months. We installed a spot light next to the ground sleeve, so we could fly it 24 hours a day. We are happy to say that "you can not beat the value received for the money put out" The pole it still up, the plastic clips for the brass grommets on the flag have held up, the halyard rope is still in tack. The flags have had to be changed 3 times over the 18 month period, which is longer than anticipated. Overall quality is a grade of A-. Glad to see it was "Made in the USA".

This review is from: Valley Forge In-Ground United States Flag Kit, containing 20-Foot Aluminum Flag Pole, 3-Foot x 5-Foot Nylon United States Flag With Sewn Stripes & Embroidered Stars, and Hardware (Lawn & Patio)

I had my flag pole set up (in cement) and flying the flag without much trouble. The flag is nice and of good quality. The pole seems slightly cheap to me. When I put all the pole sections together they don't make a perfectly straight pole...so the pole leans slightly. I notice things like this but I would guess the average person would just see a nice flag pole. The pole also moves around in the wind more than I thought it would, even without the flag. Overall I would buy it again, but I think if I move and want another flag pole I would go with one that is 1 solid pole without sections.

The week after I put the pole in Hurricane Wilma came through Florida. I easily took the pole apart and left only the bottom section. It was nice being able to take it down and put it back up with little effort.

I live in Colorado at an elevation of 7,800' that is a normally breezy and windy environment. This flag pole lasted exactly 20 days before bending in two approximately 4' above the ground level. The aluminum tubing that is used to manufacture this flag pole is not very substantial and is really only good for mild, windy conditions.
