So I get people all the time asking me about my flag poles and how I mounted them. Ive seen many people mount them different ways and spending tons of money, while none of them I really cared for so I came up with my idea.
Total cost for me was about $5, more if you dont have any screws..
I used a 10ft piece of 3/4" metal conduit that I cut into two 5ft sections. Then I bought 4 1" metal straps(sold right next to the conduit in stores). Where you can see in the picture I just put one strap on bottom and one on top and used the self tapping screws to secure them. On the poles I just drilled holes and have my flags zip tied on, you can bolt them or however you want.
Ive driven at highways speeds and never had a problem with the poles moving or bending or coming out and Ive had these for over a year now and Ive done this for friends trucks too. Only thing is the flags can get torn up after a while or from driving too fast. I always have the metal straps attached to my bed so the poles can be easily removed when I dont want them. Ive had to replace two straps from **** in my bed hitting them and bending them but other than that no other problems.
Now my poles are painted lime green too
