Now it's time to lower your flag onto the pole! Securely attach it with rope or string at both ends; this will prevent it from slipping off during windy days or storms. This means they will last for years without breaking down or losing their strength. Afterward, you need to dig a hole for the base of the pole (which must be slightly deeper than the pole itself). Furthermore, they don't require much maintenance; just an occasional cleaning will do!Finally yet importantly, there's no hassle when it comes to storing a telescoping flagpole either: simply retract it down into itself and store away until next time.
