We had a short flag pole attached to the front of the house and finally had to take it down. The winds whip the flag against siding or lamps and tears up the flag. We also had have a piece of the siding replaced because the flagpole had torn the siding...and then there was the rust factor.

Hubby installed it originally and we've had plenty of flag poles in other homes. So I'm sure he installed it properly. I made a point today of looking at other homes on our street and no one else had one. Tall flag poles seem to be the way to go.
