ABSTRACT:
A method and kit for mounting a flag to a flagpole includes providing a mounting kit having a flagpole, a sealed bearing with an inside diameter dimension selected to correspond to an outside diameter dimension of the flagpole; a tie; a flexible coupler and a flag with a sufficiently stiff pole-side hemmed edge extending between a top flag eyelet and a bottom flag eyelet to help hold the pole-side hemmed edge straight for full flag display purposes; and then, following the instructions within the kit, mounting the flagpole to a stationary surface, securing the sealed bearing to a top portion of the flagpole, passing the tie through the top one of the pair of flag eyelets to secure a top portion of the flag to the bearing with the tie; and securing the flexible coupler between the bottom one of the pair of eyelets and the flagpole, thereby mounting the flag for free rotation about the flagpole in windy conditions.
