Going to spray paint the pole white to cover the markings on the pvc. Got another to make for my POW/MIA Flag
COOL :)
looks good. One question - why the extra piece on the lower end of the T-joint (opposite the end where the flag is hung.)?

Counter balance. If you just used an elbow the front of the pole would just sag.
Very nicely done Rick!

Nice job Rick, Always Glad to see your devotion to Patriotism!
Very cool Rick. Try some nail polish remover or acetone to take the print off the pipe. Should wipe off with that.
Me likes it ;D

Here are a couple better shots. You can see how the pole changed with the wind.
