I got this flag at Lowe's on June 30, 2023.
It's really one of those garden flags that hangs straight up and down on those little horizontal posts, but this particular design works well hanging on a vertical post, I think. I had one of those tiny, traditional stars and stripes on a stick attached to this post for 2 years, but it got so ragged from year around weather, it had to be retired. This flag will do the trick. It's more weather proof, so hopefully it will last longer than the other one, being out in the weather 24/7/365.
This post has a "job". We have an auxiliary parking space in the back yard immediately to the right of the post, and it's a guide to stop the driver from mowing over the garden ahead.
Parking there is a problem solver for us, on occasion. The flag helps with the visual for the driver, and of course, I'll take advantage of any opportunity to decorate something in the gardens.
The parking space is located between these three gardens....
Yeah, the post needs straightening.
A closer look at where the post is located in relation to the parking space. The perspective of the photo makes this space look shorter than it is in real life, but trust me there's enough length to park our medium size SUV there....
I'm pretty happy with the flag upgrade. I'm all about functional design
