Low Expectations Not Met

I didn't expect much for a flag and pole at this price but it would be for light duty on holidays and seemed like it would work. The flag is printed polyester 90cm by 150cm (35.4" tall x 59" wide) and looks cheap up close but would appear satisfactory from the street. The pole is sliding aluminum. If you are brave enough to buy one of these, decide the length you want the pole to be when you first set it up. The aluminum tube feels like humidity will make it seize in position after even a few hours outdoors. The gold colored ball on top of the pole is gaudy plastic but okay as seen from the street. The mounting bracket is plastic so no telling how long before sunlight makes it brittle. Same for the rings that hold the flag in place. UV light is hard on cheap plastic.I took photos to illustrate the next section but for some reason ebay does not have a way to add them. I've included photos before so I'm not sure why the option doesn't exist now.The worst part is the included mounting hardware is useless. The screws are too short for the wall anchors even if screwed all the way in. Add the thickness of the plastic mount and the screws barely go into the wall anchor. It pulled out of the wall with no effort. A mild breeze would send the whole thing crashing down. Even if you were attaching the mounting bracket to wood and didn't need the anchors, the screws are not long enough. Pathetic!Since you may have to make a trip to the hardware store to buy mounting hardware that is large enough, save yourself the time and money and buy a quality flag and pole there and don't order this one.

Pros
  • Just what I needed. Sturdy and adjusts easily for any size flag.
Cons
  • The plastic mounting bracket only lasted 4 months. Broke and dropped flag on the ground.
