    I'll have to take a pic of mine later when the fog clears. I have an American flag and Canadian flag flying from our entranceway porch

    We have our flag up 24/7 in a lighted area. While we are usually the only ones that see it (we live in a wooded area at the end of a dead end road) it means a lot to us to be able to display old glory. :thumbs:

    A year ago April we spent a short holiday on the Washington and Oregon coast and was impressed at how many homes were flying the Stars and Stripes! So this is a beginning for us!

    Question - how do you keep your flag from rolling up around the staff that they are attached to?

    I can't keep mine from rolling up. I just have to unwrap it every time.

    My pole out back is aluminum and the upper part of the pole rotates 360° and the flag connects with the grommets and rings so the flag never gets wrapped.
