Flag Building tips

[Harrow Strongbow Ciderman!]

Ive got my blank flag and still thinking of something really random to put on it.

Clutch repairs ?

I just bought some bargain battery powered pretty colour changing lights to dangle off my tent pole (which I haven't got yet) All very exciting!

I'm off to see what I can sell on Ebay to pay for said flag pole (& maybe even a flag).

I'm off to contact Strongbow for some freebie merchandise...ya never know they might give me a flag!!

[Alexi]

I'm quite tempted by a flag with Bill Bailey's play on "I've got soul" by the killers.

I've got Ham but I'm not a Hamster!!

I just bought this little bugger and a rather modest 4 meter pole and some bungee things and a spike.

All the fault of this thread - easily lead? Not me....

I have lots of promo shit from Strongbow sent from the breweries. Can't remeber if there is a flag but I will have a look in the store room when I start work in a mo and see if there's anything you might be intrested in. I'll PM you later

[lalala]

Fantastic. Thanks 'superdry' & just got ya PM.

If anything I can have would be appreciated. Bunting to put around tent or clothing E.G. T-Shirts, Fleece, Hat.....

......rainmac, Umbrella

Flag talk.. I love it

Thinking of extending my pole (ooeerr missus ) this year to an 8mtr one.. 5mtr was ok but I like it big (plus need extra length for the red triangle)

it was touched upon a few pages back, but i'm still not sure, how do you stop the flag from just wrapping around the pole? its the top of the ole that i'm worried about more than the bottom btw

[hulk mike]

yeah that was the bit i read, but still not quite sure what they meant, how do you stop the pipe coming off/slipping down? i am planning to use a fishing pole too, so its very thin at the top also

[MikeyB37]

I guess he means that you attach a cable tie above and below the length of tube to stop it sliding up or down the pole, reckon i'll give it a try this year.

Now you're just putting ideas in my head, i dont wanna be feeling 'inadequate now do i

[Chocky]

Don't think there's gonna be any trouble finding Camp Triangle with all these flags this year

[JamesThresher]

I wonder if the crazier flag builders out there have thought of using one of these

You certainly wouldn't have any problems finding your tent

crikey!

thanks for the pole website, i've been using an old fishing landing net pole for years to put my flag on

the problem being that it isn't very tall. I have always gaffer taped the pole to one of the legs of our annual graffiti gazebo (pop by and sign it if you see the flag!) which has led to a trouble free flag life

[hulk mike]

this is mine for this year

but its 3x5 foot, i only have a 9 foot pole, do i need a bigger one or should i be ok?

Nice job! Is it fabric paint? Did you have any trouble with the paint going through the flag and sticking to the table, or did you suspend it somehow?
