beta_basher Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) Does anyone know of somewhere that sells the red and blue flags that they use to mark out sections, or a cheap and effective way of making them. I have a rough idea how to make them but not sure what to make the actual flag and pole out of.

nigel dabster Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 From memory there is a company in York something surveying, they sell the flags ready made. However as you might expect the tight a***d (who said that) yorkshire folk actually still make there own! Incredible I know but Perce is probably the guy to fill you in on materials required.

barrybaines Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 yep 7-32 for 100 but then you have 6 quid postage I would assume that when you enter one in the quantity box you get 1 pack of 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillary Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Go to your local PVC window supplier and they sell 25mm D-Strip which is used for filling in gaps between window and wall when they fit new windows. These strips come in 5 metre lengths (I think) for about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ham2 Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Straighten a wire coat hanger-- you should then snip it in half. Bend one end (top)back in a small loop (just in case you land on it!). Cut 2 inches of red or blue duct tape and fold it around the top of the shaft..et voila.... ...a mini flag good enough for practice and small enough to fit in a large bum bag. Not perfect but the small size makes you look up for the next flag.. if you catch my drift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
