Sand Flag

[Burmonster]

hi, i was goin to have a go at making a sand flag for beach driving. i have some orange 25mm pvc for the pole and ill just put a bit of hivis material for the flag.
i was thinking of siliconeing a bit of 10mm threaded rod in the pvc for added strength, and ill also leave it hanging out 50mm out the bottom to make a solid and easy mounting point, it can just bolt into a bullbar mount
has an1 made a sand flage before?? an tips?? is there a better product than silicone to hold the rod to the pvc??
thx

Jack don't waste your time with electrical conduit as it's too heavy & thick it wont stand up in the wind when driving then when you go under a tree it breaks too easy. (Seen many try it)
Look for some fibreglass rod or just buy a commericial one which will be far easier to transport.

mmm ok. thx 4 ur input. i realised that it was prob gonna be way easier 2 just buy 1, im sure there not expensive. but i got all the stuff for free and i got nothing 2 do 2day so i think im just gona do it, and when it breaks, ill just buy 1.
thats me being young and stupid
thx anyway tho

Don't be fooled about the price. They are darn expensive for what they are. I got one recently for a Stockton trip and paid about 140 bucks. I guess it depends how much your going to use it. I saw many surf rods with a flag on the end cable tied to their bull bar.

My dad made 1 using a cheap ($25) UHF antenna for the pole that works quite well.

how long do u think i should make it?? i have 2.5 of pipe but mounted on the bull bar will that be 2 much??
