Suggestions for telescoping flagpole base

Howwwwwwdy Festivarians! Our group of 14 was lucky enough to grab tickets this AM and we are eagerly counting down the days to summer solstice (this will be our 4th year).

My question: For those of you who fly windsocks on telescoping flags - what base do you use? Last year we used one off Amazon that had four screws to support the telescoping pole, but any strong gust of wind gave it a run for its money. Anything you recommend?

Hi there!

There have been a few threads on this in the past. Here are a few:

Flagpole

We will have a group with us this year. Plan to run up a flag to make locating easy. What is the best way to secure flagpole in the ground at Telluride?

Keeping a flag pole in the ground-HELP!!

PM me and I can give you more detail. We had to order a flag pole stake from the flag store where we bought the telescoping flag pole (I think that is the term) - not going to lie the bang in the ground ones aren’t the easiest to find…BUT one year we forgot the stake and went to ACE on Main Street and got some stuff that worked just as well - might be your best option with less than a week before the festival. If you have the flagpole buy a PVC piece of pipe that will fit inside - about a foot…

EDIT: Read through all the threads and didn’t see anything conclusive. If anyone has a foolproof stand that they can recommend please drop a link or picture here! Thanks
