[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2788722, member: 9374"] I know I am going to have to read the flag flying rules - I've done it before, but it's been a few years. I am going to install permanent lighting for it. I will fly it above any other flag or ornament - probably going to fly a Gadsden under it, maybe OK and St. Vincent flags on either side? Lower, of course... probably start with a single pole at the beginning, though. Aluminum? Steel? Fiberglass? Do the "spinner" tangle-free things really work, or just a gimmick? Anyone got an opinion or used one of these [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Solar-Flag-Flagpole-Light-Deneve%C2%AE/dp/B00D9C796Y/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1441598730&sr=8-4&keywords=flagpole"]solar flagpole lights[/URL]? Looks kinda strange being lighted from above, but if it really works decently, I might consider it. I'm thinking maybe a 14' tall one, I'd prefer single-piece, but if the multiple-section ones are any good, I might consider it. I'm not sure how tall the roof is, I'm going to have to measure (single-story), but I'm going to be putting it in on the corner of the house, tucked up pretty close to the eave, so I don't want it to drag on the roof (obviously) and I want to run a good-sized flag. Just looking for some help, some pointers, etc. How to run power to it, maybe? My neighbor is an electrician, he can probably help with that, I suppose. I can get a good pair of post hole diggers (neighbor again, lol, mine are crap). Thinking just pour a little Quickcrete and set the pole plumb - should be caek, right? Right... we'll see about that. Guess I need mostly advice on type of flagpole, height, flag itself, good lighting - stupid fixtures at Lowe's are horrid... of all the ones I've bought and installed, not a single one really work(ed/s) right. So what do ya think? [/QUOTE]
