Flag Holder Swivels In The Wind FARM HOME Miscellaneous Dave Meiners Edgerton Minn used pvc tubing to come up with a nice looking inexpensive mounting stand for his American flag “It’s designed to let the flag spin around in the lightest winds It looks nice and I always know which way the wind is blowing ” he says The stand uses a 4-ft long 1/2-in dia metal rod that’s driven about 2 ft into the ground Meiners drops a washer over the rod that falls to the ground to keep the rod from ever turning Then he slips a 3-ft long 3/4-in dia pvc tube over the rod and onto the washer It serves as a spacer and a base that allows the tube to rotate A 45-degree elbow is placed on top of the tube and supports a 14-in long 1-in dia tube fitted at the top with a “T” elbow which supports another tube with an end cap at the bottom that supports the flag “I like how it looks and how it swivels - it doesn’t take much wind for the flag to rotate ” says Meiners “The stand is in our front yard where a security light shines on it at night I drilled holes in the end cap so that water can drain out and also glued all the joints together to make them solid I usually take the entire assembly down for the winter because I don’t want it getting beat up by the weather ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Dave Meiners 1582 61st St Edgerton Minn 56128 ph 507 829-1215; davemeiners123@gmail com
