Can I use a regular metal pole as a flag pole?

What is a “regular metal pole”?

@Call_Me_Jay A piece of hollow stock metal.

Yes, it will work.

Of course.

Are you planning on raising and lowering the flag? OR leaving it stationery all the time.

Regular pole won’t work for raising and lowering unless you put a pulley on the top.

@elbanditoroso No, it stays in a bracket that’s screwed into the deck.

It does depend on the metal. Iron/steel rusts in the elements, so you’d need it to be pained, galvanized, stainless or a metal like aluminum.

I’m pained. In my butt. Does that count?

@Dutchess_III Haha. thanks for the correction. I’d say it counts.

:)

It’s OK with me.
