    Flag Poles?

    Does anybody know how much a Flag Pole costs?

    I'm thinking of putting a couple of flags out the front of the Roadhouse, 1 X Australian Flag, 1 X Aboriginal Flag.
    (Maybe 1 X Chinese the way the world & IanV8 is going).

    I have Googled but don't see any prices listed.

    BTW Are the a mission to install?

    Uh, concrete, 2 bits of sturdy C channel, a pole of chosen length, and 2x pin / bolt for pivot.
    Bonus points:
    Pulley, rope, a hole for the internal rope to come out of and a cleat for keeping the flag 'up'.
    Extra bonus points:
    Paint for patriotism.

    You could be making a rod for your own back, ( great pun) there are protocols to observe when flying the National Flag.

    Australian flags can be obtained free of charge through the Constituents’ Request Programme by contacting the electorate office of your local Senator or Member of the House of Representatives. There are rules, in your situation I think just make sure you have two poles, the Aust. flag flies on the left pole facing the building. More info here.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    GOOD ON YOU

    As I said good on you The lay out of my property does not allow me to fly a flag ( Battle axe block ) but please apply all the protocol that goes with flying our flag, which means you respect the flag and what it stands for.

    or one pole with a "cross tree"....I think that's what it is called. No doubt there is a special name for it.

    Yes, I am aware of all the Flag protocols, for some reason I learnt all that at school.

    My mate was anal about it.

    I might see if my tame "Chippies" can make me a couple of flag poles.
    We have a fair bit of different pieces of steel around the place left over from various building projects.

    If & when we get it done I will post a pic.

    PS A Green Oval flag would loose me customers, Tojos are more common than the proverbial around here!
