How to Hang State Flags with the American Flag
Adding a flag to your yard or porch is a great way to show your patriotism and support for your home state or country. It’s also a great way to show your support for the military and police officers who protect us. To display a flag properly, follow these simple steps:
1. Secure the flag to a pole using metal grommets and screws.
2. Find the halyard (the piece of cord that runs through the hoist), and tie it around the top bar of the pole.
3. Feed the halyard through one of the grommets on the flagpole, and then pull it tight so that it’s taut.
4. Make sure the flag is hanging straight by holding the flagpole at an angle and checking that the flag is level.
5. Add a flag stem (if desired) to the top of the flagpole.
6. Repeat these steps for each additional flagpole in your display.
