I'm looking to build a collapsible flag pole so it can be carried around. It needs to have room for 2 5x3 flags so I'm thinking 12'. Anyone built something like this before?

My initial thought is to use PVC pipes. I'm thinking 3 4' sections of decreasing diameter so they can fit inside eachother to be carried.

Nope. How are you planing to anchor it, guy wires or self standing? Self standing would mean a heavy, large base foot print.

Sounds good. So head to your local hardware/bigbox and buy three 1/2" 4ft sch40 black pipe segments and two couples.

1" or wtf ever metal conduit pipe. Buy 2 10 foot sticks. Cut into wtf ever fee sections. Get butt conectors. Slide 4 3' poles together. Make it 15 feet so you can bury 3 feet.
