Camp Site Flags - what do you use?

I've been trying to figure something out to attach to our EZ Up, too. I have a green bamboo pole and an old fishing pole readily available and would prefer to use one of them vs. having to buy anything else. Has anyone ever been successful in using either, and if so, how did you secure it? We won't be flying a big or heavy flag, just a small tapestry, but the weight of the bamboo definitely concerns me, especially after reading another post about bamboo failure.

Good idea. But I figured most thieves won't be carrying tools to remove my $50 flag pole, lights, and my banner.

Well in my haste to leave yesterday I left our flag at home so no rooster for us this year.

I used plastic pipe. You see how I did the top by my avitar. I used S40 Pvc. The bottom is 2" about 5' long with one end cut at a angle to pound in the ground about a foot. The rest I use 1-1/2". First pc is 3' long with a coupling glued to one end. You put that in the 2" pipe & it will stop at the coupling. You glue the next pc of pipe to the other side & cut it to how high you want it. I cut that in half & glued male & female adapters so I can take it apart to fit in my car. On the top of that I put a male adapter & on the cross part at the top I put a tee that is soc x soc x female thrd. I put 2' pcs on each side to complete it. I put grommets in the flag & screw it into the pipe. I also added 2 little solar lights that you can see a good distance at night. I've had it for a while & it was cheap to make.

Yeah, you're sure to be the only one.
