Has anyone installed one in their yard? And lessons learned? I’m thinking of putting in a 25’ telescoping pole if I can get the admiral to release the funds. Here’s a link to the one I’ve narrowed my research to. flagpolefarm.com/product/titan-flagpole-kit/

Funny you posted this, I was just looking at the new flag pole installed at our dock and its telescoping, thought it was pretty neat. Not sure if it's the same brand or not, but happy to take a look again if you want.

That would be great!! Just need to get wife onboard, it’s not the cheapest yard project! But with all that is going on I’m twitching to fly the biggest flag from the tallest pole I can manage.

Easy D.I.Y I'll project to make a footing base to hold the pole. I'll get back later.

After watching their tutorial on installation it's pretty self-explanatory. Just be sure that the pipe you install or that sleeve is plum 1/8inch out of plum in 20 ft high will lean like a S. O. B.

I also think I’ll add a grounding rod to that bolt the pole rests on. Wife all worried about lightening strikes. I e tried to explain how hitting the pole would be better than hitting the house, but she seems to think the pole will attract all the lightening g in eastern NC. Maybe the whole mid-Atlantic seaboard.

There are no labels on it so I cant tell who made it, but it's nice. Works just a like a retractable outrigger, real light too. Its at a mid height length here. I can probably find out the brand.

I think I’m convinced I want the Titan brand pole. Wife still being stubborn, but I’ve put in my request with the HOA. Shouldn’t be an issue there, both board members I’ve talked to are also thinking of putting in poles!
