Set firmly into the ground, this 3-by-5-foot U.S. flag will wave in tricolor triumph through many holidays. It's made of heavy nylon with double-stitched red and white stripes and embroidered white stars on the familiar blue background. It dries quickly after rain, resists fading in sunlight, and remains durable in wind--yet is light enough to flap in the slightest breeze. The flag attaches with simple snap hooks to a thick nylon halyard that hauls the flag up a sturdy, 2-inch diameter, 20-foot (above-ground) satin-finish aluminum pole. The halyard runs through a nylon pulley in a cast-aluminum "truck" at the pole's top and ties to a 6-inch cast-aluminum cleat. Above the truck, a 3-inch diameter gold ball, anodized like the pole for hardness, screws into the pole, and a setscrew keeps the ball securely in place.

The pole comes in five sections that slip into one another. To keep it upright, there's an 18-inch section of PVC pipe that serves as a ground sleeve. Instructions on the box explain how to set the ground sleeve in concrete. Installation is not complicated, and, once installed, Old Glory will fly permanently in any outdoor setting. --Fred Brack
