poles for flags

[uncleyellow]

Probably not the right thread mods, but was hoping for a quick answer.
Ive made a banner with a great drwg of Lawrie on it, was just wondering what the restrictions are for the poles! I just dont want to get there and not be able to take it into bay 16.
Do you guys use PVC for the poles, or dowl or something else...?

Fish is the best to ask - but to double check you can always email the club

Extendable poles are used on the banners (alumininium?) Come in the Kendall and put them with all our other ones so we can take into stadium en masse

all's good - i split the topic and moved it to a good spot, because it's a good question that someone else will want to ask soon enough!

Thanks guys...
Ill bring it into the kendall with the rest of them - sounds good to me!

I have broom handles in there at the moment, I'll change em to PVC so they are nice and light.

Fire UP!!

the wind plays games with pvc poles, but if the banner is not to big shouldnt be a prob... great work making a banner, i think we always need more

 

[uncleyellow]

Sure do!

Agree - If you are using PVC, go for the thick poles Fish uses, not the puny ones I've got. I reckon his are illegal, but hey, he's got 'em in at home!

I had a hard time finding suitable thick ones at the usual hardware stores (Bunnings\Home\Mitre 10) so I suspect his are from some other place. Fish?

Even my thick PVC poles are bent from the wind, I got mine from Bunnings, i bought a 12m length, and then they made me cut it, because no one at bunnings would know what to do, after all theyre just sales people.

i was thinking if you had to have pvc pipes for flags and banners (ie queensland) im guna fill them with that no more gaps stuff should stiffen them up a bit ...just a thought
