Sand flag hieght

G'day Pat, i had something similar and that was about 6mts, i also fitted it to the bullbar, the higher the better as some of the dunes can be a little steep and it is a great advantage if the on coming 4wd can see your flag, because there are heaps of them.

Have a great trip, it's fantastic country

cheers,

Lance

Pat

3 to 6 metres high

I had one. Bought a Wog Pole in Melbourne once. They go to 6mts. Mines busted now so use old HF aerial instead


Cheers

Many of the 4wd clubs here recommend 12 feet (4 metres) off the ground, and prefer an orange flag that stands out well against the sky. I use a 2 piece surf rod slotted into the bullbar and duct tape to hold it.

Thanks for the that, that’s another thing done.
When I am not using it as a flag pole I can use it to catch squid.

Cheers Pat

Pat,

One thing to consider is transporting when not being used.
If it's not collapsible, a 6 metre pole is hard to fit anywhere horizontal.

Pat, my advice is do it properly... ill tell you a little story,

Me and the boss were on the Anne Beadell Hwy and as some of you will know its sand hills with overgrown Mulga and corrugations,
Well while cruising along a hilly section of the track my "sand flag" (6m fibreglass fishing rod and a fluoro flag that i found held to bull bar with cable ties) snapped at the wooden base, so i just had to remove the broken piece and tighten the new, i done this task 3 times after 3 breaks, and on the fourth trying to dislodge the broken bit it suddenly slipped out and i cracked myself in the face pretty hard resulting in a cut up nose and scrached sunnies... much to the amusement of the boss.

The next flag will be held on proper and more flexible than a 40yo fishing rod!
