Get a length of 20mm orange electrical conduit and cut to how long you want the sand flag. One recommendation is the top should be at least 3 metres above the ground
Get a 10mm coach bolt as long as possible a couple of plain nuts and a nylock nut to suit.
Grind down the diameter of the head of the coach bolt until it just fits inside the electrical conduit.
Heat the bottom end of the conduit and force over one of the plain nuts (easier if the nut is on the bolt) then remove the nut from conduit.
To stiffen the conduit up insert approximately a metre of 12mm x12mm square wood inside the bottom end of the conduit. This is slightly larger than the conduit and it needs the corners sanded off until it fits.
Decide how much thread you will need at the end for mounting.
Put the head of coach bolt into conduit and then fill up with something like liquid nails. Get as much in the gap as possible.
Put the plain nuts on the bolt and run them down to the desired position to leave threads for mounting. Tighten them up against each other then force one nut into the conduit, leaving the other out of the conduit. It’s good to have some liquid nails around the nut and on the thread.
Secure the flag ($5 orange safety vest) with cable ties.
Mount the sand flag and secure with the nylock nut using the exposed plain nut to stop the sand flag rotating.
