Part of the celebration of the 4th of July here in central New Jersey – and around the country – is the flying of the American flag. We turned to the experts at HouseLogic for some great and innovative ideas for displaying your pride in the flag. Just one word of caution; be sure that whatever means you choose falls within your area's zoning rules and regulations.
If you don't have a flag yet, get started with a complete set that includes a 3-by-5-foot U.S. flag, 6-foot steel pole, gold eagle ornament, and mounting bracket with screws for $9.98.
For a new twist on old flagpoles, check out one that spins to keep the flag from twisting around the pole on windy days. The top half of the aluminum pole spins freely and eliminates the need for an anti-wrap sleeve.
If you fly your flag at night, illuminate it with this solar-powered light that produces the equivalent to the light available on an overcast day and lasts from six to 12 hours. It mounts to flagpoles that are two to four inches in diameter.
And don't forget to follow some essential rules of etiquette for flying your flag respectfully. Be sure that if you're flying more than one flag on the same pole, the US flag should always fly above the rest. If you do choose to fly the flag at night, it should be illuminated. Finally, when you lower the flag, be sure that it doesn't touch the ground (or any other object).
