Flag Building tips

That's a good deal. Any idea how much postage is from that site?

[harvey21183]

Looks like it's £3 for orders under £20. You may find you'll get it cheaper at your local bike shop (where you don't pay postage).

WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I am soooooo happy! Just went on a mission into my loft to find some stuff for my mum and found my UBER 10 foot Fluoro yellow efests flag!!!! AND a spare piece of fluro material to play with as an extra flag.

Just got to touch up my plain white efests flag with a new marker pen and buy a new end for my flag from Skyblue and then I am sorted.

MIGHT be purchasing these bad boys tho...ANY of the solar powered ones!!!

Don't worry too much, I haven't even thought of a design yet. I'm also about as artistic as a stunned badger.

According to the cateye website, their cheapo led lights will last for 'up to 150 hours'. I think that means that if you use duracell batteries and put the light on flash it'll last for over 6 days non-stop. Bigger batteries not required! I find cateye lights to be highly weather-proof so I think you'd be fine just strapping one to your pole without any extra protection.

If anyone's wondering, you can get the TL LD 130 for £6.79.

I've got a pair of those on my bike, dunno how long they're gonna stay there tho

Halfords do them for £16.99 a pair so it works out at a pretty similar price with the postage.

Sorry if this has already been covered but i'm looking for some white paint for my flag (red, nylon i think). What's best to use and where can I buy it (i.e chains, eg Homebase?) Fabric paint? Is it waterproof?!

On page9 of this thread the whole "what paint and where from?" debate begins. Seems to be available from any DIY type shop (Homebase, B&Q etc..). I need to get some of this stuff in as well, so if you find something good post it up here!

Well you're making a lot of posts for a lurker

Anyways... I'm impressed by these solar powered fairy lights. Cuts out lots of hassle. Gonna get me a long string of blue ones.

So that's where my new five metre pole is!

[Staberinde]

Right, no more ordering from these poor guys until they clear their backlog, ok guys?

Actualy I think he was saying that with a sense of humour, he'll be loving the extra income.

[Staberinde]

Er, yes and I wasn't saying that without sarchasm either mate

Found these old pics...

I've tied the flag with tie-wraps (it has brass eyelets in the corners) on to a small guage plastic pipe. This is to allow the wind to blow the falg around the pole freely, it stops the flag getting snagged. I simpley then put the small plastic pipe over the top of the flag pole and slid it down to a 'stop' made up of a realy thick roll of electricians tape around the flag pole.

BTW, we've got a new 'van, we're selling the baove for about £499 ! Pm's if you're interested.
