There are many ways you can attach a flag to a flagpole system. Depending on the type of pole or mast, you may have different options available to you. For instance, if you have a traditional round pole with holes drilled into it at regular intervals that are designed for use with rope and toggle, then there is no reason why this method cannot be used. However, if your flagpole system is not designed for this type of attachment point then simply use some tape or other methods mentioned below instead.

How to attach a flag with rope and toggle?

The rope and toggle combination is the most common method to attach a flag to its pole. This can be done in only a few steps:

Step 1 – Place the toggle clasp through the grommet

Place the toggle clasp through the grommet from the back of the flag. The toggle clasp should be placed on the side of the flag that will be attached to your pole, so that when you are finished you can simply pull up on it and detach it from its mount. Make sure that your toggle clasp is in the middle of your flag; if it is not centered properly, then when you hang it up there may be some extra material hanging down at both sides of your banner (you don’t want this).

Step 2 – Pull the unfused end of the rope through the toggle

Next, pull the unfused end of the rope through one side of the toggle and then through the other until it’s nice and snug. Make sure that you have enough rope left over for attaching your flag to a pole or hook later on.

After you have the toggles set up and ready, it’s time to attach the rope. First, lay out the rope so that it runs from one toggle through its hole in the pole and back through the other toggle’s hole. Next, take your flagpole and slide it through these holes until both ends are hanging free outside of each of them.

Step 3 – Ensure that you have half an inch of rope protruding from the toggle knot

To measure this, hold your flag on its side vertically in front of you and hold one end of the rope so it points towards your chin with the other end pointing down towards your feet (this is called a “noose”). When you look at both ends together they should make a diamond shape. If they make more than a triangle shape then add some more rope until they make more than an equilateral triangle shape.

Cut off any excess rope with a pair of pliers or wire cutters. This will ensure that when you crimp around them using crimping pliers there won’t be any chance for stray strands to come loose and cause problems later on as well as giving yourself some extra length for tying off knots so there isn’t any tension between where these two ends are fused togetherand the crimp.

With the rope properly measured and cut, you can now crimp it around the toggle. To do this, simply put one end of your flag into a pair of pliers and squeeze it down over itself to create a loop (this will be called “fusing” in this guide). Then take your other piece of wire or cord and wrap it around both sides of this fuse about three times before cutting off any excess with wire cutters or pliers.

Step 4 – Use pliers to crimp the metal stop around the piece of rope between the toggle knot and grommet

Make sure that you have half an inch of rope protruding from the toggle knot. Next, fold the metal stop in half and crimp it around the rope. Make sure that there is a small gap between the ends of the stop so that you can thread it through the grommet.

Step 5 – Test the flag on its pole by pushing it up and pulling it down to ensure that it is attached correctly

Now that the flag is attached, you should test the pole to ensure that it functions properly. Push the flag up and pull it down to make sure that the rope does not slip or loosen. If it does not work correctly, then re-tighten all of your knots until everything works as intended.

Conclusion

With this method, you can easily attach a flag to your car or bike. It is a very simple procedure that requires very few tools and only takes about 10 minutes or so to complete. You will need a screwdriver, scissors or wire cutters, rope, toggle and some string for tying off the rope ends.
