The building phase.

PVC cut to 4'



T on the end cemented.



Cement the cut off 1' to the other end of the T.


Cut the other piece of pvc to 4' and cement the 45* to it.



Cement caps on each end of the pvc.


No cement on the lower part of the T. Drill 1/4" hole and use the bail pin.



Drill for the 2 eye bolts with clevice.



Hammer the 24" spike in the ground bout 12"



RED WHITE AND BLUE




Going to spray paint the pole white to cover the markings on the pvc. Got another to make for my POW/MIA Flag

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 cool Rick. Try some nail polish remover or acetone to take the print off the pipe. Should wipe off with that.
I like to walk threw life on the path of least resistance. But sometimes the path needs a good kick in the ass.

OBS
BBQ
One Big Easy, plus one in a box.
