At last a side flag holder that solves a lot of problems: "The vinyl siding bracket" that you use without having to drill into the front of the house.

SIZE: Many of you have called to ask the exact size of this flag holder. You say you have real tight squeezes. Ok, here it is: Positioned as you see it mounted there, the flat mounting base takes up an outside footprint of 3.5"x3.5". Said another way, if you were to replace the two triangular corners missing from that otherwise square base, you would have a 3.5x3.5" square. The distance between the left most screw hole and the right most hole is about 2 7/8" on center. The distance between the top hole and the bottom hole is about the same. I can't be any more specific. If your needs are super exacting, please get one in your hand and try out our side mounted flagpole bracket for yourself.

The Moose Flag Holder

"The Moose" Stainless Steel Flagpole bracket. This thing is stunning. (Fiberglass pole not included)

 

stainless steel flagpole brackets

Just look at this size comparison of the two stainless steel flag brackets. The Moose is a beauty. It has the high tech mirror finish befitting of a navy ship or Marine Corps color guard. I just love this bracket. It's one moose of a flagpole holder. These are heavy duty exterior flagpole mounts.

Classification: For those of you who know your stainless steel classifications, both brackets belong to the Austentic stainless steel family, basic grade 304 which means their chromium content is at least 16% and nickel 6%. The effect of the nickel is to avoid the problem of brittleness in low temperatures. Austentic stainless steels have a "high" corrosion resistance on a scale of medium, high and very high.

For those of you who wonder about the EXACT  size: Footprint is about 2.75x 3 1/8" overall size. The holes are about 2 1/8" on center left to right, and about 1.75" on center top to bottom. the barrel is about 3.5" deep. The screw holes are 7/32". The screw size we supply is a 10x1.5" wood screw.

 

 

 

 

The Flag Guy® recommends "The Moose" Bracket with mirror finish

#WB34 $66.50  1" Diameter, approx 30 degree angle

 Moose with matte finish Sainless steel flag holder

This bracket takes a 1" pole and it is supplied with stainless steel woodscrews and a stainless steel thumb screw.

Ok. Call me a flag geek. But I just get all excited about flag hardware. This is the king of flag holders.

I had been ignoring the stainless steel flag bracket shown at left for quite some time. After all, we'd had the smaller #WB26 stainless steel bracket shown below left for years and it is real good. When it came out it was the first stainless steel bracket we had ever seen and it was wonderful to have it. It truly fills an important niche. So I figure, what could be better about the stainless steel bracket shown at left that it costs more. But finally curiosity got the better of me and I bought one just to see it.

Now I know...

  • First of all, it is massive. In almost 25 years in this industry, I have not seen a larger 1" bracket.
  • Second of all, if you want to attach it to a telephone pole or lighting pole, the slot for a strap, (not included) is closed making it more effective.
  • Third of all, if you need a more solid anchorage, there are FOUR holes for screws which will give you 25% more bite into your surface.
  • Fourth of all, it has a more beautiful bright mirror finish
  • Fifth of all, take a look at the thumb screw: You do NOT need a Phillips head screw driver to tighten it down like you do if you want to use the set screw on our #WB26 stainless steel flag  bracket

It's flagpole hardware like it ought to be. Flagpole brackets don't have to be wimpy. This is my favorite stainless steel flag holder and is the best among strong flag brackets.

 Mounting a bracket or flag holder to brick:

I get asked all the time "Hey Al, I have a brick house. Tell me which bracket to use so it doesn't come off. Aren't there flagpole mounts for brick?"

Answer: NO!

No one bracket is more suited for that purpose than another. Just look at them. They all have a flat base with holes in them. Every bracket can be attached to brick. Why would any one bracket be more likely to stay attached to brick than another? Mounting a bracket on brick has nothing to do with the particular bracket. It has to do with the fasteners you use and the way you drill into the brick. Drill too close to the edge of a brick and you might crack it. That problem would prevent your fastener from getting a good hold and staying on. Your success even has to do with what kind of brick you have, how hard it is and its condition. Some brick is super hard. Some brick is soft. You can mount any bracket to brick but you need to provide your own fasteners. We supply only wood screws with brackets.

The question is not about what is being mounted to brick. Instead it is how something is being mounted to brick. It is not a function of which bracket to use.

Any bracket can be mounted on brick, but it is tricky. Holes need to be drilled with a masonry bit and then plastic or lead "anchors" or "shields" need to be installed. These need to be correctly sized to the screws that then will be used. They also need to be correctly sized to the drill bit being used. If the hole is not drilled to the correct size, if the shields are not the right size to the hole, or if the screw is not the right size to the shield, then the bracket will get loose. The person selling you the anchors or shields should sell you the appropriate size for the masonry bit you will be using and for the screws or fasteners you will be using. Also, the condition of the brick itself has a lot to do with how well the whole system performs over time. Even if you size and drill everything correctly, over time the fasteners can grind away at some brick and widen the holes causing the bracket to come loose. Drilling into brick and mounting a flag bracket to it is not a failsafe operation.

In short, the best way to mount a bracket on to brick is this:

Here is a good idea someone else had on mounting their flag holder to brick:

Or, put a bracket someplace else, like on a tree. Or it is very easy to put a very simple pole in the lawn. Take a look at the very simple EZ2 lawn kit shown here:
Lawn Flag Kits

The same concept applies to siding of all kinds. Why would any one bracket be better for that purpose than another?

Vinyl siding and other types of siding are problematic. What is behind your siding? Can you catch anything solid with screws? I have cedar shake siding on my house and there is not even plywood behind the siding. The house is early 50's and for sheathing back then they were using a type of black fibrous material that is not meant to be solid enough to hold wood screws. I would have to catch a stud. But I would never be able to catch a stud for each screw going through the bracket. The holes are too wide apart. And even if I could, any type of siding will prevent me from getting a bracket to mount flat. You won't be able to get a good bite against the wall surface due to the siding's profile. I wouldn't even try to mount a bracket on my house.

Stucco is a real can of worms. It can be real uneven and rough so you are not working with good contact to your bracket's base. Then, how thick is it? How solid is it? Can it hold a screw without crumbling and grinding away? Is the stucco material itself thick enough and solid enough to hold fasteners? I have no idea. What is behind it? Can you catch anything solid behind it with real long screws? I have no idea.

Round columns are just plain tough also. They are only made from a veneer of wood and are hollow inside, so you don't always get a good bite with the screws. It depends on the column's wall thickness, its condition and if is is even wood at all. Modern ones are often plastic or pvc. Unless you are willing to strap a bracket on with stainless steel straps like they do on municipal telephone poles on Main St, there is just no great solution. And straps might well mar the finish of modern plastic columns. The Moose bracket has a slot for a strap, but to keep it straight you would still want to screw it in. But then maybe at least the main stress would be on the strap, not on the screws. No guarantees, but that is the only idea I have.
