What do you use to secure your flagpole?

I was away last week and saw a van with copper coloured metal anchors secured straight into the ground.

Dont really want to tie it against the van pull handle, anyone have any ideas

Thanks Mike

A length of metal pipe should do it, such as half of one of those telescopic washing line props, knock it well in and lash the pole to it with a couple of zip ties

They may not be on the site, but give Chalkie a call, he had some screw in to the ground poles at a good price.

I have just ordered a flagpole and groundstake, do I need to tie it to something else too? Would a wooden windbreak pole be okay for this?

If you are using a fishing rod as a pole you can hammer a lenght of rod and slot the pole over the top as they tend to be hollow

We went through a number of versions of reebar but found that the flagpoles tended to be too rigid and snapped.

We now use a fishing rod stand from Decathlon, it spikes in the ground and we cable tie that to the trailer A bar, the flag pole then moves slightly and so far we haven't broken a pole since.

I have a 8m fibre rod that I use as a flag pole. I have a large marquee peg that fits snug to sit the pole on and then I have a cable tie set to the diameter of the second section about 3 feet off the ground with three guy lines held down with Deltas. Works a treat and have inadvertantly left it up in wind conditions when only the top section broke but the pole stood fast.
