    Here's the one I use. Old 12ft Surf rod that shrunk a foot going under a carport once...... but thats another story....... Aussie flag is cable tied on and the sand flag above is held with Loctite. The rod wedges neatly into the bar and is secured with a couple of cable ties into the uprights, where i drilled 2 4mm holes.



    PS, I have a roll of the material they use for the sand flags so when one dies I just cut another and glue it on. Happy to flick some to you when you are next up

    i used to use pvc conduit, any of the thicker variety is good enough and cheap as chips too, maybe even use the orange type sparkies use for running cables underground. a couple holes drilled in where the flag will sit and whalah a flagpole, now attatch it with cable ties and away you go

    ps dx grunt, something like this by any chance?

    Any dump shops usually have Long 27meg aerials for a couple of bucks each
