[QUOTE="Coyote Hunter, post: 228597, member: 486"] About 12 years ago, I originally went with the cheap aluminum flag pole for my yard. I believe it was 20 ft tall. It lasted a year. I always had to go out and take down the flag if we were getting strong winds. Eventually, I got an unexpected storm and it bent... I straightened it back up and the next wind snapped it off. I replaced it with a 20' or 25' steel pipe I bought from Gerdau Steel. I primed the pipe heavy and painted it white. I used all the hardware off my original aluminum pole and mounted it on the steel pole. I have had it up for 10+ yrs and it still looks perfect. The thing hardly moves in the wind and I never take it down for high winds. A side note, I think I buried in about 4 ft of the pipe and used Quikrete to anchor it. Overall, pretty inexpensive and extremely durable and nice looking. [/QUOTE]
