what the three star reviewer said is absolutely right. Make SURE you order the pole kit separately, as it does not come with the flag. But I've got to say, this flag is WAY better than I expected for this price. Had it for over a year now and it stands up to big storms for sure. It DID EVENTUALLY GET RIPPED BUT IT TOOK HURRICANE FORCE WINDS, AND WE WERE ABLE TO RESEW IT. It's a beautiful fabric with truly brilliant colors, just gorgeous when the sun shines on it. I really ordered this cheap one just to test the concept and I was going to order a more expensive one later. Hate getting scammed by bs reviews. But this one is so perfect I'm going to order another from same company. This review is real. No one is paying me or giving me free sh*t to say it's good. DID eventually order another one from another company by mistake and it got shredded immediately by the first decent storm, so I'm sticking with flags from Alotta..
