Portable Flag Pole

[shadytree]

OK... I've got my 5ft Aston Flag, Pistonhead flag and Union Jack , but no pole

Can anyone recomend where I can get a large bendy (portable ) pole from. I've tried my local fishing shops, but no joy.

Also , might be a numpty question this, but how do you attached the flags to the pole.
The flags are all the PH type. Loop hole at the top with cord down the left ?

CF fishing rod usually does the trick.

Who needs a portable flag pole when there is a plentiful supply of trees within dragging distance.

Hear-hear! What are people coming to these days??? Someone advocating earplugs in another thread, I ask you!

Been looking for a replacement myself recently.
Expect to pay £15 + p&p for a 9metre telescopic pole.

Here's two search results to be going on with...

Shinned up the pole outside my dealer

Try the usual kite shops (don't know why they use them...). I've seen them in DECATHALON before, may be worth a try.

Failing that claim one from the Germans that occupy the piece of land near the 'dome' not far from Technoparc...........

I can recommend Dunstable Kites (in fact I think I did to the mad biker?) We struggled to find something to um... erect it in last year but I've just bought a washing line ground spike in Asda for a quid fifty or similar and that might make life easier - last year my dad cut down a piece of steel tubing for me but it required a large mallet!

Can't wait - am listening to Daytona 24 on webfeed and want to beeeeee there.......

I got mine from FLAGDAZE , the 7 metre ones are good.
