Tailgating flagpoles are the perfect way to boldly stake your territory and show your true colors at your next tailgating party, camping trip, family reunion, picnic or store promotion. Tailgating flagpoles come in light aluminum or flexible fiberglass. They are usually telescoping, for easy set-up and trunk storage. Avoid any telescoping flagpole whose sections dont lock into place; this way, the pole wont collapse when the wind picks up (or when the party gets rowdy!)

The tallest tailgating poles are about twenty feet capable of supporting flags as large as three feet tall by five feet long.

There are two basic types of tailgating flagpole mounts: trailer hitch mounts, and wheel stands.

Trailer hitch mounts attach to the hitch on your car, RV, or truck. All you have to do is slide the mount onto the hitch and secure it with the included pin. If the flagpole is sectional, insert the bottom portion into the hole in the mount, then assemble the rest of the pole. Taller poles might require that you assemble the pole first.

Wheel stands are by far the more popular type of tailgating flagpole mount, because they are so easy to set up. They have a steel foot to be anchored underneath one of your tires: just pull up over the foot and park. Insert the flag into the mount. Lock it in place with the included screw.

In addition to flags, tailgating flagpoles can fly windsocks, banners, pennants, ribbons and so on.
