    First off, thank you for your service to our great country. The following is meant only as a joke. Yea, he knows how to blow up the world, but to raise a flag, give him the number for the Red Cross, he's going to need all the help he can get. LOL

      That’s funny! Yeah basically true, navy was much more concerned about my ability to NOT cause the next Chernobyl. Hope you’re having a great start of summer!

    Awesome Flagpole! The Truck you used is a very good quality. I refurbish old drilling pipe flag poles as service projects for my American Legion Post in Louisiana. I am curious to know why you didnot screw a flagpole topper on the top of the flagpole? The Truck Top requires an 1/2 inch 13 UNC threads. A Star Topper would look awesome on the Texas Flagpole. Solar Lights added to the top is a plus. Semper Fidelis

    I just did mine at home out of the same pipe it's 25 foot above the ground . My question is I am going to put a 5x8 and 4x6 on the same pole and didn't know how well it would hold up . How does yours hold up just a single 5x8 flags in heavy wind? Thank you for your service too

    • @LewisRenovation
      @LewisRenovation  10 месяцев назад +2

      I think it could easily hold two big flags. Mine doesn’t move at all even in the highest winds. Good luck with all your projects
