3) Securing a flag to the flagpole
1. A flag has 2 loose ends used for securing it to a flag line. The loop end usually represents the top of the flag.
2. Secure one end of the flag line to the loop using a sheet bend.
3. Secure the other end of the flag line using a fisherman's knot (for ropes of equal thickness) or a sheet bend (for ropes of different thickness).
4. Pull one end of the flag line slightly to check if the flag will be raised in the correct way.
5. Raise the flag and tighten the rest of the flag line. |
