Flag Building tips

[ukslim]

I bought some cable ties from Halfords yesterday, for fixing my flag bungees to the pole. Only these ones turn out to be special: they have little rings on them. So I thought, *maybe* I could fix keyring type rings onto those rings, then run a line through the keyrings, and be able to raise and lower the flag like a proper flagpole. Definitely going to look into it -- it's just getting chances to go shopping for these things.

We were thinking to just hang aload of pillow cases, painted obviously. That will do wont it

It is complete!

I'm slightly worried that my fingertips turn blue every time I handle it (it's spray paint). Hopefully a night hanging up to dry will sort it out.

So after a day of shopping yesterday finally got the bits and bobs together for a flag. Cost including paint came to less than a tenner. Spent this morning putting the poles together and it stands at a mighty 4metres. Very tempted to invest another £5 to make it 8metres but not convinced it will hold.

With some help from mam on the sewing machine and dad to drill some holes this is where I am so far.

All that's left is for my team of designers to pop up later this evening and sort out something good to put on there, while I sit back with a beer and marvel at the pole =) Tempted to add some fishing rod glowsticks to the top aswell.

Finally I'm ready to unveil our flags for this year. Gone for a pole for the first time, having usually gone for two sets of tents poles in a banner style. Main flag - Spurs manager Martin Jol smoking a fat one - is five metres, yellow flag is four metres. What do you think?

Leaving it very late and designing my flag tonight, unlikely I'll have time to post any pictures up before I leave tomorrow morning but if you see a flag with a picture of a horse with "My lovely horse" written on it somewhere on Kidney Mead feel free to pop over and say hello and enjoy a drink

I got some fabric paints at lunchtime today, so a few of us are getting together tonight to paint up the flag. To be honest, I'm not really that hopefull about this one, think the pole is a bit too thin at the top - Got the 3 metre one and the top pole is very slim which makes attaching the flag tricky. So next year, maybe a four metre pole tied lower down will hold better. Still, a crap first flag is way better then no flag at all!!

Bump, just a reminder to those who know me, Spurs fans, or anyone who wants to drop in for a drink and a bifter, that this is where we'll be. We're camping in Oxlyers from Weds morning/lunchtime. I'm off work tomorrow and my computer at home is broken so this is my last chance to post.
