STEP 1: Select flagpole location. Call 811 before you dig. Check for
underground sprinklers, water and electrical lines. Make sure your flag
has clearance to fly in all directions. Are you too close to the house?
Watch the roof!
STEP 2: Dig a hole approximately 26" deep by 12-18" in diameter (26"L x
12-18"W).
STEP 3: Place approximately 3" of gravel in hole to allow for drainage.
STEP 4: Place aluminum ground sleeve into gravel – to prevent concrete
from flowing inside.
STEP 5: Mix cement and pour around ground sleeve. Repeat until hole is
filled (the more cement the better). It is OK to have your ground sleeve
an inch or two above ground level. Can be filled in with mulch, dirt and/
or flower bed.

STEP 6: Carefully insert pole section swedge end up into ground sleeve

as cement will be wet . Use a level to make sure pole is straight. Remove
pole section after level, concrete must cure for at least 24 hours.
STEP 7: Assemble your flagpole. Flip over for proper assembly
instructions.
STEP 8: Insert flagpole into ground sleeve! Enjoy!
Manufacturer suggests taking flagpole down during high winds and strong storms also
storing flagpole during winter for those in affected regions.
