The pole went up well and the PVC pipe was a good support to prevent problems at the base of the pole. The light is a little bit dimmer than I expected, but will meet the guidelines. The most disappointing factor was the size of the flag. we would have not have noticed it so much otherwise but we were also flying the Marine Corp flag which measured 3x5ft, the same as your flag was suppose to. So we had to take the Corp flag down and measure it and the measurement was correct. We had to purchase another US flag. When we took your flag down it measured 3x4ft 10 inches. Please check your stock and see if your flags are exactly as advertised. It would not have been noticed so much if it was flying alone, but a second flag cannot be larger than the US flag.
