Thread: Making a sand flag

I used my UHF antenna, it was one of the thick white ones. Just slipped a home made flag over the top.

AE4706 from memory, they are at least 2m tall

Fibreglass Post 1500 x 10mm pack of 50 - Fibreglass fencing system - Gallagher Permanent Electric Fencing Two of these with a metal sleeve to join them together (easy storage) inserted into a tube on your bull bar or whatever. Buy some orange plastic sheeting (used as membrane under concrete) and make your own flag... shouldn't cost you more than $20... or try the usual big box hardware outlets for fibreglass pole lengths...

if it's for the Simpson , buy one from the park management and help put some funds back in.

Fishing Rod (or any fibreglass pole) & Fluoro Safety Vest!!!

Piece of 20mm conduit with home made flag taped to one end,the other taped to the bull bar.
Flag made from old worn out fluro vest.

I bought a squid pole, modified the base to accept a threaded bolt and used a flouro triangle flag to make mine.


It's collapsible and stores nicely.


Not sure of durability as I have rarely used it.

Cheap fishing rod works well for the pole, and can be got in a 2 or 3 piece version to make it easier to store.
Downside is that SWMBO cringes with embarrassment when I fit it as I didn't bother taking the eyelets off
