20' Aluminum Flag Pole with 3'X5' Nylon flag with sewn stripes & embroidered stars

I was very happy to receive this product and love it. So far there are no problems.

The flag pole "kit" arrived on a Friday. I had the well made flag flying high on Sunday. Real eazy to install and looks great. If you are looking to install a flag pole of your own don't pass this one up.

We bought it to see if the kit could stand up to the elements of the Colorado River Valley winds, sun and other desert elements. Before recommending the kit to friends. We have had one of the Valley Forge, U.S. residential flagpole kits installed in our front year for over 18 months. We installed a spot light next to the ground sleeve, so we could fly it 24 hours a day. We are happy to say that "you can not beat the value received for the money put out" The pole it still up, the plastic clips for the brass grommets on the flag have held up, the halyard rope is still in tack. The flags have had to be changed 3 times over the 18 month period, which is longer than anticipated. Overall quality is a grade of A-. Glad to see it was "Made in the USA".

Quoting VFF web site
"It is both Valley Forge Flag's philosophy and practice that U.S. flags be sourced, woven, dyed, finished, sewn, and distributed in the U.S.A. in domestically owned facilities with American labor."

That being said, "LET THE BUYER BEWARE" The fine print that you only see on the box once you order it is "FLAG MADE IN USA" other parts made in China. I purchased this because VF doesn't mention the fact that the pole and it's parts are imported. I was pretty confident that I was getting an all American product. I sent an email to them complaining about this via their web site and apparently they don't care what people think. I never got a response. The Flag and pole are very nice, but I wanted to purchase American made and not an import. I researched this for a week or two before deciding to make this purchase. BEWARE - It's not false advertising, just not being completely truthful. CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!

product was of good quality and fit together well only problem was that the bracket that tyed down the rope was not on right end of pole section

I had my flag pole set up (in cement) and flying the flag without much trouble. The flag is nice and of good quality. The pole seems slightly cheap to me. When I put all the pole sections together they don't make a perfectly straight pole...so the pole leans slightly. I notice things like this but I would guess the average person would just see a nice flag pole. The pole also moves around in the wind more than I thought it would, even without the flag. Overall I would buy it again, but I think if I move and want another flag pole I would go with one that is 1 solid pole without sections.

The week after I put the pole in Hurricane Wilma came through Florida. I easily took the pole apart and left only the bottom section. It was nice being able to take it down and put it back up with little effort.

3' x 5' nylon flag. 20 ft., 5 section, 19 ga x 2" o.d. seamless aluminum pole. 3" gold aluminum ball, aluminum track, cleat and setting tube. Dacron braided halyard rope with nylon snap hooks. Display box. Made in United States by Valley Forge, Inc. Sold

Set firmly into the ground, this 3-by-5-foot U.S. flag will wave in tricolor triumph through many holidays. It's made of heavy nylon with double-stitched red and white stripes and embroidered white stars on the familiar blue background. It dries quickly after rain, resists fading in sunlight, and remains durable in wind--yet is light enough to flap in the slightest breeze. The flag attaches with simple snap hooks to a thick nylon halyard that hauls the flag up a sturdy, 2-inch diameter, 20-foot (above-ground) satin-finish aluminum pole. The halyard runs through a nylon pulley in a cast-aluminum "truck" at the pole's top and ties to a 6-inch cast-aluminum cleat. Above the truck, a 3-inch diameter gold ball, anodized like the pole for hardness, screws into the pole, and a setscrew keeps the ball securely in place.

The pole comes in five sections that slip into one another. To keep it upright, there's an 18-inch section of PVC pipe that serves as a ground sleeve. Instructions on the box explain how to set the ground sleeve in concrete. Installation is not complicated, and, once installed, Old Glory will fly permanently in any outdoor setting. --Fred Brack
